This standard aims to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer expectations and complying with relevant regulatory requirements. It has become an internationally recognized reference for quality requirements in business-to-business transactions. The ISO 9001:2015 standard is based on fundamental principles like customer focus, process approach, continual improvement, and mutually beneficial supplier relationships.
