About this episode
In this episode, host Xavier Francis and guest Kate Behr discuss the core requirements of ISO 9001 certification and its impact on quality management systems.
In this episode of The Quality Hub: Chatting with ISO Experts, host Xavier Francis is joined by CORE consultant Kate Behr to break down the core requirements of ISO 9001 certification and what organizations need to understand when building or maintaining a quality management system. Kate explains the seven actionable clauses of the standard—and shows how each one helps businesses create a stronger foundation, align leadership with quality goals, support employees, measure performance, and drive continual improvement.
