Kaieteur News- Achieving ISO 9001 certification goes beyond simply producing a product in a standardised manner, it ensures that an organisation consistently meets customer expectations, even in changing conditions. The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS), certified ISO 9001 since 2018, is committed to helping businesses adopt, develop, and implement an effective Quality Management System (QMS) through the provision of expert training and technical assistance.
A well-structured QMS enhances efficiency and effectiveness, focusing on the entire system rather than just the product or service. When an organisation implements a system that is driven by quality processes and continuous improvement, it produces and provides quality goods and services consistently.
Over the years, the number of companies certified to this international standard has increased exponentially. Today, the Standard is the world’s most used framework for achieving quality, helping thousands of companies across the globe.
The Standard outlines several clauses that guide organisations in establishing and maintaining an effective QMS. These include Context of the Organisation, Leadership, Planning, Support, Operation and Performance Evaluation. Together, these clauses provide a structured approach to achieving and maintaining high-quality standards while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Certification to ISO 9001 not only strengthens internal processes but also builds credibility, improves customer satisfaction and enhances operational efficiency. Studies have shown that certified companies report fewer defects, reduced customer complaints and improved profitability and productivity.
The GNBS’ ISO 9001 certification underscores its dedication to quality and best practices, setting a benchmark for businesses in Guyana. By aligning its processes with international standards, GNBS ensures greater efficiency, accountability, and customer satisfaction in its services.
With its eyes well focused on quality, GNBS provides specialised support for businesses pursuing ISO 9001 and other key certifications, including ISO 45001 (Occupational Safety and Health), ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management Systems).
Our team of Technical Officers offers expert guidance through training on the Awareness and Interpretation of the Standard, Implementation, Internal Auditing and Pre-Assessment Audits to help businesses meet and maintain certification requirements successfully.
Businesses interested in adopting the ISO 9001 or any other standard can reach out to the GNBS for guidance and support. Our Team is committed to take you there, allowing you and your business to achieve long-term success. For more information, call GNBS on 219-0064-66 or WhatsApp (+592) 692-4627 or visit www.gnbsgy.org.
