Happy Anniversary ISO 9001!

October 2007 marks the 20th anniversary of ISO 9001: the most established quality standard in the world.

First introduced in October 1987 as an international response to the British Standard BS5750, ISO 9001 is now recognized in over 170 countries worldwide. The future of ISO 9001 is assured and next year a minor updated will be introduced.

What does this mean if you are currently registered to ISO 9001:2000? Firstly, don't be concerned, there will be very little impact, as the proposed changes to the standard are quite modest.

As soon as the exact changes are known, we will provide a further update. For more information on the ISO 9001 standard, please visit our ISO 9001 certification page.

Notes to Editors

The British Accreditation Bureau is the leading certification body for accrediting people, services and organisations. Our reputation was established in 1965 as a division of Salford University Business Services. In 1997, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry approved the use of the word ‘British’ in our new corporate title (The British Accreditation Bureau), in recognition of our pre-eminent status.

Today, our core business is the accreditation of people, services and organisations. We certify organisations to the latest ISO standards and design and manage bespoke accreditation schemes. Such schemes are based on the establishment of standards, which can be developed to be recognised company-wide, industry-wide, nationally or internationally.
