Based on ISO 9001's process approach to quality management, ISO 13485 focuses on what the manufacturer does to deliver safe and effective medical devices. Regulatory authorities in most major markets (including the European Union, United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan) require, or strongly prefer, that manufacturers marketing medical products in their countries have a third-party audited and certified quality management system in place. An ISO 13485-compliant system expedites access into those countries that require it.

AS9100 is the Quality Systems Aerospace Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production, Installation and Servicing.
The International Aerospace industry realized the necessity to supplement the quality system model to satisfy internal, government, and regulatory requirements applicable to the aerospace industry that ISO 9000, as a generic standard, was never designed to satisfy.
The AS9100 Certification was introduced in 1997 by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to encourage International quality, safety and technology standards in air transport. The certification can be applied to all areas in aviation like design and manufacture of equipment, airport and airline operations, aircraft accessory supply, spares supply and maintenance. The AS9100 Certification enables an organization to demonstrate its commitment to quality, safety and reliability.
Using energy efficiently helps organizations save money as well as helping to conserve resources and tackle climate change. ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS).ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management. Use of ISO 50001:2018 helps organizations in developing a policy for more efficient use of energy, fix targets and objectives to meet the policy, use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use, measure the results, review how well the policy works, and continually improve energy management.

What CMMI is: A process improvement model that provides a set of industry-recognized practices to address productivity, performance, costs and stakeholder satisfaction in the systems engineering and software development process.
Helps your organization examine the effectiveness of your processes
Establishes priorities for improvement
Helps you implement these improvements
How CMMI is different: The CMMI provides an integrated, consistent, enduring framework for enterprise-wide process improvement and can accommodate new initiatives as future needs are identified. Unlike single-discipline or stove-pipe models that can result in confusion and higher costs when implemented together.
Who it is for: Those providing systems and software engineering products and services to organizations who transform customer needs expectations, and constraints into products, and supporting these products throughout their life. If you manufacture, code, analyze, maintain or document a product, you need this!
A maturity level is a well-defined evolutionary plateau toward achieving a mature software process. Each maturity level provides a layer in the foundation for continuous process improvement.
In CMMI models with a staged representation, there are five maturity levels designated by the numbers 1 through 5 whereby 1 is the lowest level of maturity and 5 the highest. The five levels are actually:
The ISO/TS 29001:2010 is quality management system that provides requirements for the design, development, production, installation, and service of products for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. This standard is designed to help these organizations ensure that they meet all requirements of customers and stakeholders. The ISO/TS 29001:2010 standard is based on ISO 9001, and includes supplementary requirements highlighting defect prevention and the reduction of deviation and waste from service providers. The ISO/TS 29001:2010 was developed as the result of cooperation between the American Petroleum Institute (API) and ISO technical committee ISO/TC 67. The ISO/TS 29001:2010 is applicable to the following:
Organizations involved in exploration, production, pipelines and transportation, and refining of petroleum and natural gas products.
Organizations involved in the design, manufacture, installation, service and repair of equipment used in the exploration, production, transportation and refining of petroleum and natural gas products; and Organizations that provide technical, operational and support services to the various industry sectors identified above. This Technical Specification is intended to avoid multiple certification audits and provide a common approach to a quality management system for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
Quality is often relative. Truthfully, the global presence of quality management standards like ISO 9001 helps provide a more objective approach to an organization’s quality practices with recognized effectiveness. However, in the eyes of the customer, quality certainly still can be a relative attribute. Thankfully, managing customer satisfaction is also addressed by international standards. These documents offer guidance aligned with other quality management standards, such as ISO 9001, but they may also be used independently of such standards. The ISO 10000 series includes:
ISO 10001:2018 – Quality management – Customer satisfaction – Guidelines for codes of conduct for organizations Meeting a high level of customer satisfaction can be challenging, so ISO 10001:2018 helps organizations put in place a customer satisfaction code of conduct by offering guidelines for its planning, design, development, implementation, maintenance, and improvement. A customer satisfaction code of conduct consists of promises, as well as related provisions, that address issues like product and service delivery, product returns, the handling of customer information, advertising, and product stipulations. These promises, through the framework and guidelines of the customer-focused approach outlined in ISO 10001:2018, aim to enhance customer satisfaction. ISO 10002:2018 – Quality management – Customer satisfaction – Guidelines for complaints handling in organizations Customer complaints are one of the primary means by which a company or organization can gauge customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the manner in which organizations handle complaints can determine if they meet that customer’s needs and even the expectations of the general public. ISO 10002:2018 provides guidance for organizations to plan, design, develop, operate, maintain, and improve an effective and efficient complaints-handling process for all activities related to products and services. Complaints handling should involve top management and aim to create a customer-focused environment. You can read more about this standard in our post on ISO 10002:2018 for Complaints Handling.
SO 10003:2018 – Quality management – Customer satisfaction – Guidelines for dispute resolution external to organizations In terms of customer satisfaction, one of the most apprehensive thoughts for an organization is the possibility of a dispute. ISO 10003:2018 helps organizations plan, operate, maintain, and improve an effective and efficient external dispute resolution process and select a dispute-resolution provider. In aiming to enhance customer satisfaction, dispute resolution is crucial in providing a means of redress when organizations do not remedy a complaint internally. ISO 10004:2018 – Quality management – Customer satisfaction – Guidelines for monitoring and measuring while complaints and disputes can be a more-disastrous means of an organization generating awareness of customer satisfaction, regular monitoring of satisfaction is likely a better methodology to depend upon. ISO 10004:2018 gives guidelines for defining and implanting processes for monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction. Acquisition of this information can be used to help identify opportunities for improvement of the organization’s strategies, products, services, processes, and characteristics valued by customers and serving the organization’s objectives.
