In this episode of "The Quality Hub," host Xavier Francis is joined by Norm Verbeck, a consultant from Core Business Solutions, to explore the distinctions between ISO 9001 certification and compliance. Norm discusses the rigorous process of certification, and contrasts it with compliance, where companies internally manage adherence to ISO standards without external audits. This episode sheds light on the practical steps for achieving compliance, the cost-effectiveness of compliance versus certification, and the significant boost in reputation and marketability that certification offers. Norm also highlights how certification is often required, and how it can be a crucial step for businesses looking to enhance their international recognition.
