Six steps to your TL 9000 certificate
QuEST Forum developed the TL 9000 quality management system (QMS) in 1998 with the goal of satisfying the unique quality requirements of the worldwide telecommunications industry. TL 9000 reduces the number of standards for the industry by establishing a common set of QMS requirements. This results in effective cost and performance-based measurements to drive continual improvement and enhance customer relationships in your company.
It only takes six steps to certify your company according to TL 9000:
- Preliminary audit (optional)
- Documentation review
- Certification audit
- Issuing the certificate
- Surveillance audits
- Recertification
TL 9000 is uniquely suited to the needs of the telecoms industry
The TL 9000 standard is the telecommunications industry’s unique extension to the widely-recognized ISO 9001 norm. As such, it satisfies all the demands of ISO 9001 while also incorporating telecom-specific requirements for hardware, software and service registrations as well as specific metrics relating to product reliability, lifecycle management, and communications between network operators and suppliers. As a result, TL 9000 is a two-part quality system with significant management and measurement components tailored to your business.
