British Standards Institution (BSI)
How They Got Started
Formed in 1901 by Sir John Wolfe-Barry (the man who designed London’s Tower Bridge) – BSI was the world’s first National Standards Body.
The original BSI committee met for the first time on the day Queen Victoria died (22 January 1901). One of the first standards it went on to publish related to steel sections for tramways.
The BSI Kitemark was first registered by BSI on 12 June 1903 (the same year in which Harley Davidson, Crayola crayons and the Tour de France were born).
Originally known as the British Standard Mark, it has grown into one of Britain’s most important and most recognized consumer quality marks.
ISO9001:2015
ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization:
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
All the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides.
