ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies necessities for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently offer products and services that meet client and regulatory necessities. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.

Every five to 10 years, the International Organization for Standardization reviews the standards in order to keep them up to date. The 2008 revision of the standard is still valid until September 2018. Before that date, all previously certified companies will have to make the transition to the new 2015 revision in order to maintain their registrations.

A company requires its clients to be completely fulfilled with its products and services. Without that, it can face major issues in the functioning. To do this, it requires taking steps in order to satisfy and please their clients by meeting their requirements. The ISO 9001:2015 promises to perform to the needs of the company as well as the clients. It presents a reliable framework to organize and systematize work of the company and hence, helping it to perform in a better way.

CE Marking is also known as CE mark. CE marking certification is a mandatory to export products to Europe. With the CE marking on a product the manufacturer ensures that the product is in conformity with the essential requirements of the applicable EC directives. The letters "CE" stand for "Conformité Européenne" ("European Conformity").

CE marking is the responsibility of the person who places the product on the market, or puts it into service, for the first time. In law this duty rests with the Responsible Person, which in most cases is either the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized (in writing) representative, but can also include those who import non CE marked products into Europe, any user in Europe who makes a product for their own use, and those who modify existing products already in use to such an extent they must be considered "new" products.

CE is a mandatory mark for certain product groups in order for them to be sold on the European market – specifically into the EU. The requirements are set out in European Directives (similar to Australia’s Regulations and Acts) that cover health, safety and environmental protection legislation.

The Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate is relating to the manufacture of a medicinal product, an active pharmaceutical ingredient or a cosmetic product attesting to its conformity with the relevant GMP Standard as appropriate.

GMP Certification confirms the products identity, composition, quality, purity and strength which they represent in the market. Under it, there is a set of guidelines that offer a system of procedures and documentation by which the confirmation of the products are given.

GMP covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff. Detailed, written procedures are essential for each process that could affect the quality of the finished product. There must be systems to provide documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process - every time a product is made.

Good quality must be built in during the manufacturing process; it cannot be tested into the product afterwards. GMP prevents errors that cannot be eliminated through quality control of the finished product. Without GMP it is impossible to be sure that every unit of a medicine is of the same quality as the units of medicine tested in the laboratory

RoHS is the acronym for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance.

RoHS is a directive, not a regulation. A regulation is a law that is immediate and universal across all participating entities in the EU. A directive is a legislative act which requires member states to achieve a particular result without dictating the means of achieving that result. This means it's a law but there can be differences in how the law is carried out. Directives typically leave member states with a certain amount of leeway as to the exact rules to be adopted. Both immediately apply to anyone who wants to sell in the EU, import from the EU, or manufacture in the EU.

The RoHS Directive prevents all new electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market in the European Economic Area from containing lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominates biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), except in certain specific applications, in concentrations greater than the values decided by the European Commission. These values have been established as 0.01% by weight per homogeneous material for cadmium and 0.1% for the other five substances.

Halal Certification is recognition that the products are permissible under Islamic law. These products are thus edible, drinkable or usable by Muslims. Halal Certification from Halal Trust an oldest established Islamic organization helps to build Halal consumer's confidence without suspicion or doubt over the consumption of the food products in restaurants, Hotels or in the form of medicines and vitamins. It is an authoritative and reliable testimony to support food manufacturers' claim that their products have met strict Halal requirement by the Shariah Law.

Halal and haram are universal terms that apply to all facets of life. However, we use these terms only in relation to food products, meat products, cosmetics, personal care products, food ingredients, and food contact materials. There are some things which are not clear are considered questionable or suspect and more information is needed to categorize them as Halal or Haram. If a muslim consumes Haram foods and materials, he would be sinful.

Halal food certifiers and others in the Australian Muslim community have rejected these claims, and those who make them are yet to produce any evidence. But a lack of transparency from certifiers, along with a fragmented marketplace and confusion over what the halal certification process involves, creates a climate of uncertainty for anti-halal campaigners and Muslim consumers alike.
