A&N Safety Consultants has expanded its range of consultancy services to include Quality Management, providing businesses with support in developing, implementing and maintaining Quality Management Systems (QMS).
The introduction of Quality Consultancy Services broadens the company’s existing offering, providing support to organisations looking to improve their quality management processes and work towards compliance with recognised industry standards.
An effective Quality Management System provides businesses with a structured approach to maintaining consistent standards, managing processes and identifying opportunities for improvement.
Quality management plays an important role in reducing errors, addressing non-conformances, improving operational efficiency and maintaining customer satisfaction.
For businesses operating within regulated industries, establishing and maintaining an effective QMS can also be essential in meeting industry-specific requirements and demonstrating compliance.
The new Quality Consultancy Services cover several internationally recognised quality management standards, including:
Each standard establishes requirements relevant to its respective industry, helping organisations maintain consistent processes, manage quality-related risks and demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements.
September 2026 saw the publication of ISO 9001:2026, the first major revision to the internationally recognised Quality Management System standard since 2015.
The updated standard reflects changes in modern business practices, placing greater emphasis on leadership, quality culture, ethical behaviour and the management of risks and opportunities.
While the fundamental principles of quality management remain unchanged, the revised standard provides greater clarity around existing requirements and strengthens alignment with other ISO management system standards.
Organisations currently certified to ISO 9001:2015 will need to review their existing Quality Management Systems and prepare for the transition to the updated standard within the applicable transition period.
The introduction of ISO 9001:2026 provides an opportunity for businesses to review their existing processes, identify areas for improvement and ensure their quality management arrangements remain effective.
A&N Safety Consultants’ expanded services include support with Quality Management System development and implementation, documentation, gap analysis, internal audits, non-conformance management, corrective actions and supplier quality assessments.
These services are intended to assist businesses at different stages of their quality management processes, whether establishing a new QMS, reviewing existing arrangements, preparing for certification or transitioning to updated standards.
