Expert assistance from professional ISO 9001 consultants NPT Management Systems

Last year, ISO rolled out a new version of the globally-renowned ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems. Dubbed ISO 9001:2015, this revision aimed to bring ISO 9001 into line with all the changes and developments that have taken place since the last revision in 2008.

ISO 9001:2015 was officially published in September 2015. Companies who achieved ISO 9001 accreditation under the old standard now have three years (from last September) to 'transition', i.e. migrate their processes and ensure that their quality management systems are compliant with this latest revision.

This may sound like a daunting task, particularly for large companies, but bringing your QMS (Quality Management System) up to date needn't be a nightmare. Here at NPT Management Systems, we have already helped numerous businesses with the ISO 9001:2015 transition, and we consistently succeed in getting the job done quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the company's operations.

Your experienced ISO 9001 consultant will:

• Review your current QMS
• Identify any areas that fall short of the updated requirements
• Develop a plan for transition and help you to implement it
• Assist you with getting re-certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards

If you would like our help with your company's ISO 9001:2015 transition, please don't hesitate to call 02380 659 867 or email enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk today.

Over the last 3 months, we at NPT Management Systems have been helping Southern Coating Contractors to implement a tailor-made quality management system that meets the stringent requirements of both ISO 9001 and the National Highways Sector Scheme 19A.

This week, we are pleased to announce that SCC have been recommended for ISO 9001 and National Highways Sector Scheme 19A Certification by a UKAS-accredited certification body, with zero non-conformances. This superb outcome is the result of an extremely tough multi-site audit: 4 days of certification body auditing with 3 different skilled auditors involved.

Here's what Tony Frost, Managing Director of Southern Coating Contractors, had to say after receiving the good news:

"We were recommended to contact Neil Peattie from NPT Management Systems to help with our needs for ISO 9001 and HSS19A Certification. Neil's ability to work with the team and to implement a system that we can all use is first-class. We now have a great system that will help to grow the business. I would recommend Neil Peattie as an ISO 9001 consultant."

What are National Highways Sector Schemes?

National Highways Sector Schemes (NHSS) are bespoke quality management systems for organisations that work on the UK road network. NHSS19A focuses on the use of industrial coatings to protect ferrous metals from corrosion. The standard was developed in conjunction with all parts of the highways industry and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service.

When a business achieves NHSS 19A certification, it assures clients that standards are being consistently applied. If you would like to learn more about the National Highways Sector Schemes or ISO 9001 certification, please contact NPT Management Systems today - we can help you to meet these standards and get certified first time.

As we've mentioned previously, NPT Management Systems have a well-established reputation as the leading ISO 9001 consultants for the UK marine sector. That reputation has continued to grow, and we're helping more and more companies within this industry to achieve ISO 9001 certification.

One of our most recent marine sector clients to earn ISO 9001 accreditation is David Store Navigational Management. Located just outside Romsey, Hampshire, DSNM are described as "the preferred navigational management service provider within the superyacht industry". Given that industry's high demand for impeccable attention to detail and outstanding customer service, it was vital for DSNM to choose an ISO 9001 consultant with a proven track record.

That's why they turned to NPT - with our marine sector experience, our track record for delivering tailor-made quality management systems, and our ISO 9001 certification success rate, we were the perfect fit.

From the outset, it was clear that the challenge would be creating a QMS (Quality Management System) that would immediately fit in with the company’s well-established procedures and high standards. To achieve this, we worked with David Store Navigational Management for a number of days in order to process map their ‘as is’ process. We then used our knowledge as quality management consultants to implement a quality management system that would achieve ISO 9001 certification.

We are proud to announce that David Store Navigational Management has now been awarded ISO 9001 registration from BSI, having passed their stage 1 and stage 2 audit with ZERO non-conformances. Here's what their Fleet Director Martin Amy had to say about this achievement:

"We chose to work with NPT Management Systems as they had current experience within the marine sector, they had local offices, and they were willing to work to our tight deadline toward achieving ISO 9001. The support and service from NPT Management Systems was excellent; we had clear communications and training to enable us to adapt our existing processes to meet the requirements of ISO 9001. We plan to continue our relationship with NPT Management Systems as consultants to assist us in developing and maintaining our QMS."
