[Customer Focus] ISO three-system certification is a basic requirement for entering the market and gaining customer trust

The Three-System Certification, also known as the Three-Standard System Certification or Three-Standard Integration, includes ISO9000 Quality Management System, ISO14000 Environmental Management System, and ISO45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The Three-System is a macro management concept based on national laws related to product quality, standards, and metrology, as well as product standards. It operates and controls effectively through organizational structure establishment, job setting, division of job responsibilities, and formulation of job systems and processes, covering personnel, workplace, equipment and facilities, business items, and environmental impact to achieve personnel safety, quality assurance, environmental protection, customer satisfaction, and corporate benefits.

The operation of enterprises cannot be separated from the standardized management of the three major systems: ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001. These three system standards apply to all industries, and hundreds of thousands of enterprises, governments, service organizations, and other institutions worldwide have successfully obtained third-party certification. Obtaining the three major system certifications through professional third-party organizations has become a basic condition for organizations to enter the market and gain customer trust.

The following basic conditions must be met to apply for the Three-System Certification:

1. Possess independent legal person status or be an organization authorized by an independent legal person;

2. Establish a documented management system according to the requirements of the applied system standards;

3. Have operated the documented system for more than three months and conducted at least one management review and internal quality system audit according to the documentation requirements before the certification audit.

Eight major benefits of ISO9001 Quality Management System, ISO14001 Environmental Management System, and ISO45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification:

1. Clarifies the responsibilities of various personnel within the enterprise, avoids shirking responsibility, and reduces troubles for leadership.
