Why are the Standards so Important?

Standards help ensure that everyone no matter where in the world they are communicating, they are speaking the same business language. Many companies require their suppliers to become registered to ISO 9001 and because of this, registered company’s find that their market opportunities have increased. In addition, a company's compliance with ISO 9001 insures that it has a sound quality management system, and that's good business. Registered companies have had dramatic reductions in customer complaints, significant reductions in operating costs and increased demand for their products and services. Many industrial companies require registration by their own suppliers.
