IMS - Integrated Management Systems
An Integrated Management System (IMS) combines multiple management system standards into one unified framework, reducing duplication and improving efficiency across your organisation.
About Integrated Management Systems
If your company wishes to achieve certification to multiple standards, an Integrated Management System (IMS) is the simplest and most efficient method of achieving certification. An IMS means that the requirements of more than one certification standard can be met and certified during one audit rather than multiple visits.
Achieving Integrated Management System (IMS) Certification
If your company wishes to achieve certification to multiple standards, an Integrated Management System (IMS) is the simplest and most efficient method of achieving certification. An IMS means that the requirements of more than one certification standard can be met and certified during one audit rather than multiple visits.
The main standards which OMNi can currently combine to form an IMS audit are:
- EN1090 - CE Marking for Structural Steel
- ISO9001 - Quality Management Systems
- EN ISO 3834 - Quality requirement for fusion welding
- ISO14001 - Environmental Management System
- ISO45001 - Occupational Health & Safety Management System
Who Is This For?
Organisations that hold or are seeking certification to multiple management system standards. An Integrated Management System is ideal for:
- Companies already certified to one standard looking to add others
- Fabrication and manufacturing businesses requiring EN 1090, ISO 9001, and EN ISO 3834
- Organisations wanting to reduce audit frequency, cost, and disruption
- Businesses seeking a unified approach to quality, environmental, and health & safety management
