What ISO 9001:2015 Certification Means

ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard that focuses on several key aspects of quality management

  • Continuous improvement – Using data-driven decision-making to refine processes over time.
  • Risk management – Identifying potential issues before they impact operations.
  • Customer satisfaction – Ensuring that customer requirements are consistently met or exceeded.
  • Process efficiency – Establishing clear workflows that minimize waste and improve productivity.

By adhering to this standard, Sterling Technologies strengthens its internal operations while improving the overall customer experience.

IATF 16949:2016: A Higher Standard for Automotive Manufacturing

IATF 16949:2016 builds on ISO 9001:2015 by adding specific requirements for the automotive industry. This includes:

  • Customer-specific requirements – Meeting the exact specifications of automotive manufacturers.

  • Defect prevention – Emphasizing quality control at every stage of production.

This certification is essential for any company involved in OEM and Tier 1 automotive support. Maintaining compliance signals to our partners that Sterling Technologies operates at the highest level of industry standards.
