Compliance issues
Quality
Quality management systems are typically based on the current international standard ISO 9001:2000.
This is the most widely used standard of any kind in the world, and may be used by any
organization as a model for consistently meeting requirements for product / service quality.
Certification to this standard is often a factor in tender adjudication.

Occupational Health & Safety
Tends to be subject to national legislation or local regulation - as well as
standards such as AS/NZS 4801:2001 in Australasia, and
OHSAS 18001 in various countries. More on Health and safety...
Environment
With growing concerns about sustainability, the ozone layer, and global warming,
there is now increasing attention being paid to how an organisation's activities
impact on the environment. Buyers and regulatory bodies are increasingly looking
to see systems based on the international environmental management standard ISO 14001:2004.

Food Safety
Food safety is a major compliance and risk issue. Problems and scares can have
devastating effects - as has been illustrated by many well-publicised events in
recent years. The new ISO 22000 standard can provide a framework to combine
GMP and HACCP tehniques with well-established management system disciplines.

Information management
The international standards ISO 17799 and ISO 27001 provide a common basis for developing
organisational security standards and effective security management practice. This
topic is also subject to a range of laws and regulations governing privacy, confidentiality
and other related issues. Almost the reverse side of the information managment coin is
Freedom of Information - this compliance issue is subject to legislation such as the UK's Freedom of Information Act 2000 which requires
organisations to respond to requests for information in an appropriate and timely manner.
