2. Overview
Implementation of ISO [like: Quality Management System (ISO 9001),
Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) and Occupational Health &
Safety (ISO 18000)] affects the entire organization right from the start. If pursued
with total dedication, it results in 'cultural transition' to an atmosphere of
continuous improvement.
If organization is already certified we need to drive periodical review in the system
to maintain the conformity and continuous improvement.
If any new sites/ processes get added into the business we need to start
implementing the standards on those sites/ processes and include in the scope of
the business. For the same we need to follow the entire implementation steps.
Depending upon the scope the whole process will take 4-6 months per standard.

STEPS
4. 1. Top Management Commitment
The top management should provide evidence of its commitment to the development and implementation of the
quality management system and occupational health and safety for continually improve its effectiveness by:
• Ensuring the availability of resources required for the development and implementation of the QMS and OHSAS
standards
• Appointing a management representative to coordinate ISO implementation activities and
• Conducting management review
2. Establish implementation team
In the context of the standard, the Management Representative is the person within
the Organization who acts as interface between organization management and the
ISO 9000 registrar. MR will form a implementation team and train members on ISO
standards and implementation procedure. MR also responsible to conduct the
awareness program to make every employee to be familiar with ISO standards and
its benefit in the organization.
3. Conduct awareness programs & Provide Training
5. The basic approach is to determine and record how a process is currently carried out. It can be done by identifying the
people involved in processes and obtaining information from them during individual interviews.

Development
of Document

6.
Establish
documentation
control (e.g.
version,
category)
Documentation is the major part of ISO standardization. Each area of work
involved in the organization to be documented in the form of work instruction,
reports, process flow, procedure, policies etc. Additionally ISO manual to be
documented which includes business scope, objectives of the organization.
Every documents to be reviewed periodically and controlled with proper
version. Proper records to be maintained accordingly.
7. Internal audit
Internal audits to be conducted to verify that the implemented system conform to the planned arrangements, to the
requirements of the standard and requirements established by the organization. Internal audits should be planned and
performed as part of an ongoing strategy.
6. 8. Management review
The input to management review should include information on:
Results of audits
Customer feed back
Process performance and product conformity
Status of preventive and corrective actions
Follow-up actions from previous management reviews
Changes that could affect the quality management system; health and safety system
Recommendations for improvements
When system deficiencies are no longer visible, it is normally time to apply for certification.
We will approach to the certification bodies for the same.
