ISO 9001 Quality Management
ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems Certification with Kiwa: improve your performance, meet customers’ needs and increase your profit.
Manufacturing and Engineering
Manufacturing and engineering organizations face constant pressure to improve efficiency, ensure product quality, and comply with complex industry and regulatory demands. In a fast-evolving environment shaped by global competition, strict regulations and growing ESG (environmental, social and governance) commitments, management systems certification is essential for doing business. Our tailored auditing, verification, and certification solutions support firms of all sizes in navigating these complex requirements with confidence. By combining global expertise with local delivery, we help organizations worldwide strengthen compliance, improve performance, and build lasting value in an evolving marketplace.
Industry specific auditing and certifications solutions
High engineering and manufacturing organisations have typically progressed beyond a "quality management system" and instead focus on implementing a management system that aims to ensure good governance and risk management across business process. This could focus on efficiency, cost reduction and excellent customer experience.
Core standards include ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). Alongside health and safety standards, social risk and governance standards such as ISO 37001:2025 for anti-bribery and ISO 22301:2019 for business continuity meet growing awareness and regulatory demands. Efficient energy use and cost reduction are addressed by ISO 50001:2018, which supports systematic energy management. For asset-intensive market segments, ISO 55001:2024 plays a critical role in optimizing asset lifecycles, mitigating risks, and ensuring long-term reliability. Together, these standards build a strong foundation that enhances compliance, drives efficiency, and supports organizational resilience, enabling companies to thrive competitively in global markets.
Digitalization and sustainability solutions
Technological advances and lean principles are transforming continuous improvement, risk management, and efficiency. Digital and cybersecurity standards have become increasingly vital. ISO 27001:2022 compliance, especially in line with regulations such as Network and Information Security Directive, enacted to improve the security and resilience of critical infrastructure and digital services across the Europe, is becoming mandatory for suppliers to governments or those involved in public sector supply chains.
Other key standards like ISO 27017:2015 for cloud security, ISO 27018:2019 for cloud data protection, ISO 27701:2015 for information privacy, and ISO 20000:2018 for IT service ensure the highest standards for data-driven operations. Emerging standards like ISO 42001:2023 guide safe AI adoption for operational gains.
Sustainability standards are also gaining interest among manufacturers. Standards such as ISO 14064:2018 for carbon footprint and ISO 14068:2023 for carbon neutrality address rising climate commitments are increasingly adopted by manufacturers, demonstrating their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
