ISAS P is inspired by ISO 9001:2000, and totally dedicated to print media.
The aim of ISAS P 9001:2005 is to make sure that a press organisation is managed in such a way as to meet the highest quality standards in the following areas:
Service to its readers and the general public.
Service to the society in which it operates, notably by promoting the open flow of information essential in to democracy.
Service to other important stakeholders, including staff and advertisers.
The certification system is composed of:
- The reference standard ISAS P 9001:2005, duly registered in the independent standardisation body ISAS (International Standardization & Accreditation Services, www.isasgroup.com). The standard details the objectives to be reached in order to obtain the Certificate of Conformity by the applicant.
- A "Quality Manual" which complies with the requirements of international norms.
- Audit procedures combining written documents and two software programs called Certimedia (self-assessment) and Optimisas (management of the quality system).
