ISO 9001

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a system that has been prepared for eliminating the trade barriers between the countries, in which a third party (certification institution) evaluates the quality management system of a supplier and certifies their capability for quality management.

IATF 16949

The car-related quality system requirements (for the design, development, production, installation and service) prepared by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) have become a global standard that integrates Europe and the United States. It is expected that the Big 3 U.S. automotive companies, which led the QS-9000, will also strongly recommend having IATF 16949 certification, which will sure replace the QS-9000 and become widely used, because the reason for applying this standard is that it will enable them to perform a single review of whether the companies dealing with European and U.S. auto industry customers meet the requirements.

ISO45001

This standard is part of the ISO 45001 series developed by the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO’s) Technical Committee on Occupational Health and Safety. It can be applied when an organization wishes to implement, maintain, improve, or guarantee an OH&S management system. The standard specifies the basic requirements for the system that an organization should set up, in order to reduce the OH&S issues that are observed in an organization. It also involves a series of steps, including establishing environmental policies and goals, carrying out activities to meet these targets, and monitoring and reviewing the implementation of these activities. The Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS) and British Standards Institution (BSI) jointly conduct the assessment, so the certificate is issued by both institutions. (Only the English version is available from the BSI.)

KS A14001 / ISO14001

The is one of the ISO 14000 series standards developed by the Environmental Management Committee (TC 207) of ISO, the international standardization organization, which is applicable to the implementation, maintenance, improvement, and guarantee of an organization's environmental management system. It consists of a series of processes and requirements that the basic conditions of the organization’s system must have in order to reduce the environmental impact generated by the organization, with set environmental policies and goals, as well as the activities conducted to achieve, monitor, and review the implementation status.
