The ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) is the world’s most popular quality management standard, with over one million certified organizations in 180 countries worldwide. ISO 9001 provides a quality management framework that companies can use to ensure the quality of their products and services is consistent. The standard was developed to provide organizations with an efficient tool for quality management, regardless of size, industry or location. It is applicable to all types of industries irrespective of the products and services they provide.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It outlines the requirements for implementing and maintaining an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS) to protect against the root causes of information security risks, covering all types of information in various forms such as digitized data, documents, electronic communications, and recordings. Organizations that achieve ISO/IEC 27001 certification enhance their ability to protect against cyberattacks and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive or confidential information.

The ISO 14001:2015 Environmental management systems — Requirements with guidance for use standard is internationally recognized as the leading environmental management system (EMS) standard and is suitable for organizations of all sizes. The standard provides a systematic framework for integrating environmental management practices by supporting environmental protection, pollution prevention, waste minimization, as well as energy and materials consumption reduction.

When businesses offer cloud-based services to their customers, purchasing departments demand evidence that data stored on those cloud services is safe. ISO/IEC 27017 cloud computing is a set of guidelines for safeguarding cloud-based environments and minimizing the potential risk of security incidence.

The automotive, aerospace, and rail industries each have their respective trade associations formed to provide improved quality products for their respective sectors. All industry-specific quality management systems include ISO 9001 as a base, with additional industry-specific requirements. Each industry is continuously seeking to expand its supply chain, especially after witnessing the harmful effects of global shortages over the past few years, which have resulted in production limits, grounding of vehicles, and even halting production altogether. Expanding the supplier base is now more important than ever to help mitigate these disruptions.

An arc flash analysis or arc flash assessment evaluates the risk of an arc flash incident, which is an explosive release of energy caused by an electrical current flowing through the air between conductors. The assessment determines the incident energy to which a worker may be exposed and how to protect the worker from an arc flash accident and other electrical hazards. Based on this assessment, appropriate safety measures and personal protective equipment (PPE) are determined to mitigate risks and protect workers.

Asset Management is essential to the success of any business enterprise, regardless of the size of the business. But even a successful business with an established asset management program can experience asset failures and incur related costs that strain the organization’s resources and pose obstacles to the achievement of operational and financial goals.

Machinery breakdown can cripple plant operations or product quality. Prevent machinery breakdown by evaluating critical path assets, implementing preventative and predictive maintenance programs, attaining spare parts and developing contingency plans. The aim of Boiler and Machinery (B&M) Engineering is to prevent incipient “issues” from turning into big, expensive problems.
