What Does It Mean That Chrisal Meets ISO Standards?
The International Organization for Standardization, widely known as ISO, is an international-standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization sets and declares official worldwide proprietary industrial and commercial standards. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland the ISO defines itself as a non-governmental organization. However, its ability to set standards that often become law, either through treaties or national standards, makes it a very powerful organization. In practice, ISO acts as a consortium with strong links to governments.
In order to become ISO certified, Chrisal had to demonstrate that the company was committed to quality and that customer requirements were being identified. Chrisal developed a quality policy that quality objectives were clear and effective. A Quality Management System (QMS) was developed that planned, documented, established authority lines of communication and gave a management representative responsibility for QMS. Routine management reviews of QMS occur at planned intervals. QMS indentifies quality resources that are needed, ensures the competence of employees who influence product requirements while identifying, providing and maintaining the infrastructure needed to ensure production requirements are met. Chrisal Probiotics is vigilant in maintaining a good work environment for its employees.
Chrisal produces, approves and verifies design and development outputs. When there are changes in design and development they must be identified, controlled, recorded, reviewed, verified and validated. Chrisal is dedicated to continually improving the effectiveness of our QMS and we monitor the implementation of QMS improvement activities. Finally, Chrisal prevents the occurrence of nonconformities by establishing, documenting, implementing and maintaining preventative action procedures.
The International Organization for Standardization's logo, includes the word ISO, and it is usually referred to by this short-form name. ISO is not an acronym for the organizations full name. Rather, the name was adopted based on the Greek word isos, meaning "equal". ISO became the universal short form name, reflecting the core aim of the group: to equalize and standardize across cultures.
