In the modern business environment, companies are required to manage several key areas such as quality, environmental impact, and occupational health and safety. An Integrated Management Systems (or IMS) solves this problem with a new approach: bring multiple ISO standards to single system. The IMS Certification is an acknowledgement that an organization has established this integrated approach so that different disciplines can work concurrently as part of one system.
Integrated Management Systems (IMS) is a management system that integrates all or part of an organisation’s systems and processes into one complete framework, enabling an organisation to work as a single unit with unified objectives. Instead of maintaining multiple systems for quality (ISO 9001), the environment (ISO 14001), and occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), in an IMS, they are combined and function as a single, centrally managed system. Companies using an IMS can see and enhance multiple levels of performance simultaneously, rather than one at a time, improving decision-making and resource allocation.
IMS Certification is a formal certificate, provided by an accredited certification body, which confirms that the enterprise has an effective integrated management systems that meets one or more international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. The certification process includes an intense external audit to measure how successfully the organization has harmonized the various ISO management systems into one system that works well together. IMS certification has been established to satisfy that the company does not just fulfill each of the ISO’s independently, but that they also run in correlation with one another, and efficiently and effectively.
