Standards FAQ
Common questions regarding system implementation and certification.
Which ISO standard should my company choose?
It depends on your business objectives, process risks, and customer demands. ISO 9001 is the universal starting point for quality, while IATF 16949 is mandatory for automotive supply chains.
Does OINDC issue ISO certificates?
OINDC provides consulting, gap assessment, implementation, and readiness support. Formal certificates are issued by independent accredited certification bodies after a successful external audit.
Is ZED the same as ISO certification?
No. ZED (Zero Defect Zero Effect) is a government-backed MSME maturity and improvement model, whereas ISO standards specify management system requirements globally.
Can we implement multiple standards together?
Yes. Integrated Management Systems (IMS) combine ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 into a unified framework to reduce documentation duplication.
