Unfortunately the electronics sector within the UK is not as prolific as it used to be due to low cost country manufacturing but there still remains a strong core of businesses, mostly focused on high technology areas. Electronics organisations specialising in medical, aerospace and automotive are still in hot demand and in order for them to stay competitive, they need to work smarter.
Having ISO Certification in place is one of the driving elements to help electronics companies to stand out from the competition and the different standards have their own unique benefits.

In 2015, the core ISO standards all aligned and now follow Annex SL which sets out a high level clause structure for all standards to follow. This makes it easier to integrate different management systems into one core set of policies and procedures, reducing documentation and allowing for multiple standards to be assessed at the same time.
