Scope ISO 9001 describes requirements for a QMS including process requirements, and products and services requirements.
The organisation must understand the external and internal factors that may affect its ability to achieve the desired results.
The organisation’s leaders must commit to the success of the management system, providing sufficient resources, ensuring the quality policy and objectives are in place, and clearly communicating roles, responsibilities and authorities clear.
Planning must address actions to address risks and opportunities; quality objectives and how to achieve them; and change management.
The organisation must ensure sufficient resources are allocated to the quality management system, and carefully monitor their use and effectiveness.
The organisation should plan, implement and control processes to meet requirements for providing its products and services.
