ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for consistent quality management provided by a company. It ensures high-quality services through a number of principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement strategies.
You may wonder why standards like ISO 9001 exist? ISO’s international standards help protect consumers and keep the world safer and more efficient.
How Do I Know if ISO 9001 is Right for Me?
Simply put, if you want to demonstrate that you provide consistent and reliable services, ISO 9001 is for you.
By having the ISO 9001 standard implemented, your staff will have the mindset of doing their job right the first time, which is all too important when it comes to a plumbing job.
Benefits of ISO 9001 include:
- Increase in efficiency, productivity, and profit.

Give Your Plumbing Company a Competitive Edge
As mentioned earlier, with so many plumbing companies out there, how do you make sure customers choose you? ISO 9001 gives your business a competitive edge, making you stand out from the rest.
Imagine, a customer is weighing up a few different options when considering a plumbing company to urgently fix their burst pipe. Factors such as cost, response time and reviews are all taken into consideration.
The customer lands on your website and notices you have a badge showing your ISO 9001 certification, it’s a no brainer that they choose you, rather than your non-certified competitor.
