SLBS Developing a Quality Management System

The Bureau of Standards is in the process of developing a quality management system against the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard. As part of that process a two day training exercise for all SLBS staff was conducted by a representative of the Standards Council Canada .

What is ISO 9000:

The ISO 9000 family is primarily concerned with "quality management". This refers to what the organization does to fulfil the customer's quality requirements, applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to enhance customer satisfaction and achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives. 

The ISO 9000 family has become an international reference for quality management requirements in business-to-business dealings. These standards can be applied to all types of organizations.
