This handbook will guide you through the various paragraphs of the international standard AS9100 and offer my interpretation to provide you with models and templates to use, change, modify and embed into your new Quality Management System.

I invite you to have a look through this handbook and use the templates and models offered to build or enhance your Quality Management System.



These ideas are my interpretation only and do not constitute a compliant system. That can only happen by the individuals use and customisation of these tools described in this handbook together will top management and staff support and dedication to achieve results. Leadership from top managers/directors is crucial to enable a successful implementation.

David Hewitt uses his wealth of experience in Quality Management consulting to bring this guide to understanding and implementing ISO 9001:2015. 

The recent issue of the revised International Standard has introduced new thinking into the text of the document. Companies embarking on accreditation for the first time should embrace these requirements as they design their Quality Management Systems. Companies that have already achieved the 2008 version have until September 2018 to convert their systems to the 2015 version of ISO 9001.

New companies ‘coming on board’ after this date should use this document to assist in their application of systems and documents.

This handbook will guide you through the various paragraphs of the standard and offers an interpretation of models and templates to work with and to embed into your new Quality Management System. If you have an integrated system with the Environmental Standard (ISO 14001) there is some read-across to interpretation, but this handbook does not address all the Environmental considerations.
