Independent UK Certification Body

Project Quality Management Guidance

ISO 10006:2004 gives guidance on setting up an efficient and effective quality management system for projects of any size - small, medium or large - and its guidelines can be tailored to the needs of a specific project. It is a guidance document rather than a standalone certifiable standard, so International Assessment Bureau helps you apply its principles within a certified quality management system such as ISO 9001.

The Standard

What ISO 10006:2004 Covers

Project Quality Principles

Guidance on quality management principles, processes and practices that help organisations achieve project success.

Any Project, Any Sector

Applicable to organisations of varying size undertaking projects of any scope or complexity, across industries.

Works Alongside ISO 9001

Guidelines can be integrated into, or used alongside, an existing ISO 9001-based quality management system.

Guidance, Not Standalone Certification

Unlike ISO 9001, ISO 10006 itself is not typically subject to certification - it is best-practice guidance applied within a certified system.

Why It Matters

What ISO 10006:2004 Does For Your Projects

Improves project outcomes: structured quality principles reduce project risk and raise the likelihood of success.
Fits any project: guidelines scale to projects of any size and can be tailored to specific project needs.
Strengthens your QMS: integrates smoothly with an existing ISO 9001-based quality management system.
Better deliverable quality: consistent quality processes improve what your projects deliver.
Builds on what you already have: no need to start from scratch if you already hold ISO 9001 certification.

Background

About ISO 10006:2004

International Assessment Bureau is an independent certification body based in the UK. ISO 10006:2004 gives guidance on putting in place an efficient and effective quality management system for projects, developed by the International Organization for Standardization. It applies to projects of any size - small, medium or large - and its guidelines can be tailored to the needs of a specific project.

ISO 10006 is a guidance document and is not itself subject to certification or registration; most organisations apply its principles as part of a certified quality management system such as ISO 9001.
