This clause also requires the relevant training and competencies related to the EMS to be in place, sufficient communication processes to be implemented, and the control of documented information.

Testimonials
The process of ISO9001 certification was much easier than we anticipated due to engaging Scott as our consultant. Scott was fantastic to work with – he was confident, direct and focused on getting the job done. We interviewed a number of consultants before choosing Scott and he made us feel comfortable before and during the process. Scott did exactly what he said he would; he helped us through the entire process and ensured the audit ran smoothly. To top it all off, we gained certification over 1 month earlier than our deadline – a welcome bonus.
