ISO 9001 is an international standard that specifies a minimum set of requirements for an effective QMS.

When I entered the world of QMS, the basic thing was to read and understand the standard. As with most people, understanding the standards was difficult for me too, so I consulted with colleagues and the internet (google, forums, etc.).
