At Aspect Scientific, quality is not just a principle – it’s a promise. We are proud to announce that we have successfully achieved ISO 9001:2015 recertification through the British Standards Institution (BSI), reinforcing our position as a trusted supplier of diagnostics instrumentation, ELISA automation and technical services across the UK and Ireland.
What Is ISO 9001 and Why Does It Matter in Diagnostics?
ISO 9001 is the world’s most widely adopted quality management system (QMS) standard, developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). It sets the framework for continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and risk-based thinking in business processes.
For diagnostics and laboratory environments, ISO 9001 certification ensures that suppliers and partners like Aspect Scientific:
- Maintain consistently high standards of service and support
- Adhere to documented quality procedures
- Demonstrate accountability, traceability, and continuous improvement
What the BSI Audit Confirmed
Following a detailed external audit by BSI, Aspect Scientific’s quality management system was found to be:
- Fully compliant with ISO 9001 requirements
- Free from major non-conformities
- Demonstrating areas of best practice
“Your systems were not just compliant; they were tested, proven and improved.”
