We recently took TVIB’s Quality Management System (QMS) and retooled the system into a single streamlined QMS to fully integrate the auditing aspects inherited from the purchase of Quality Auditing in 2016 along with TVIBs member services. In conjunction with this effort the staff went through the rigors of upgrading the QMS from the ISO 9001:2008 standard to the ISO 9001:2015 standard. With the upgrade in the standard we added the new elements required of the 2015 version to include Clause 4 – Context of the Organization and the increased focus in clauses 5-Leadership, 6-Planning, 7-Support, 8-Operation, 9-Performance Evaluation, and 10-Improvement.
We selected World Certification Services (WCS) Quality Registrars as our ISO registrar. On May 4th, we completed the Stage 1 Assessment with two action items to address. On May 11th TVIB successfully completed the Stage 2 Assessment with ZERO nonconformities and were recommended for certification under ISO 9001:2015.
We are very proud of our staff for their efforts in bringing the two systems together and completing the certification audit with a clean record. We stand ready to answer the needs of our Auditor, Surveyor and Supporting Organization Members.
