Integrated Management Systems

If your company wishes too achieve certification to multiple standards, an Integrated Management System (IMS) is the simplest and most efficient method of achieving certification. An IMS means that the requirements of more than one certification standard can be met and certified during one audit visit rather than multiple visits.

The main standards which OMNI can currently combine to form an IMS audit are:

• EN 1090 – CE Marking for Structural Steel
• ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems

The benefits of an IMS audit can be summarised as being cheaper, more efficient and less disruptive to your business but there are many more benefits, including:

• ease of planning audits
• improved reputation by achieving multiple standards
• reduction in audit time and frequency
• less onerous on staff, management and directors
• reduced duplication of tasks
• certification tailored to your company’s systems
