GB/T 19001-2016/ISO 9001:2015
Period: Jan 24,2025 – Jan 23,2028
GB/T 19001-2016/ISO 9001:2015 represents the dual designation of China’s national standard GB/T 19001:2016 and its international counterpart ISO 9001:2015, which are technically equivalent.
Specifically:
GB/T 19001-2016 is China’s Quality Management System (QMS) standard, officially titled “Quality Management System Requirements,” developed by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC).
ISO 9001:2015 is the international QMS standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), carrying the full title “Quality Management Systems – Requirements.”
The “IDT” (Identical) designation confirms the complete technical alignment between both standards. This marking establishes GB/T 19001-2016 as China’s nationally adopted version of ISO 9001:2015, maintaining full equivalency with the international standard.
This equivalence ensures that organizations complying with GB/T 19001-2016/ISO 9001:2015 automatically satisfy ISO 9001:2015 requirements, granting international validity. The standard outlines comprehensive requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving quality management systems. Its ultimate objectives include enabling organizations to: deliver customer-compliant products/services, meet regulatory requirements, enhance customer satisfaction, and achieve sustained operational improvement.
