ISO 9001 helps organizations to implement quality management.Quality refers to all those features of a product (or service) which are required by the customer.
ISO 9001:2008 is the title of a document (Standard) that outlines the requirements an organization must maintain in their quality system for ISO 9001:2008 certification. There are several different documents in the ISO 9000 family of standards, but ISO 9001-2008 is the only ISO standard that requires certification. ISO 9001:2008 is the most recent standard, and the “2008” references the year of latest revision. It was previously called ISO 9001:2000, which is now obsolete (as are ISO 9002 and ISO 9003) and replaced by ISO 9001:2008 in the year 2008.
