The ISO 9001 is defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). GD Rectifiers uses the standard to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard to which organisations can certify.
