Quality Assurance

ISO 9001 Consulting in Miami and South Florida

We help Miami and South Florida organizations build, improve, and maintain ISO 9001 quality management systems — whether you're pursuing certification for the first time or moving to the new ISO 9001:2026 edition.

ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. Customers and prime contractors often require it from their suppliers, and it's the foundation that industry standards such as AS9100 build on.

We work on-site with manufacturers, fabricators, shipyards, contractors, and transportation suppliers to build a quality system that fits how your business actually runs. Certification itself is issued by an accredited certification body; our job is to get you ready for it.

ISO 9001:2026 Is Here

ISO published the sixth edition, ISO 9001:2026, on September 16, 2026. Organizations certified to ISO 9001:2015 have until September 30, 2029 to transition, and from March 31, 2028, new certifications are issued only to the 2026 edition.

If you're certified today, the move is an update rather than a rewrite. If you're starting now, it makes sense to build to the 2026 edition from day one. We help with both.

Who We Help in South Florida

ISO 9001 fits organizations of any size and industry. We focus on the ones where quality and welding go hand in hand:

• Marine and shipyards — often pairing ISO 9001 with ISO 3834 for welding
• Construction and structural steel fabricators
• Transportation organizations and their suppliers
• Manufacturers and aerospace suppliers — ISO 9001 is the base AS9100 builds on

Why Work With Lion NDT

Quality systems hold up best when the people building them understand the work on the floor. Our team brings 20+ years of hands-on experience in nondestructive testing, welding inspection, and quality assurance, so your quality system reflects how your welding, inspection, and special processes actually run.

We're based in Miami and work on-site across South Florida — and anywhere else our services are requested.

3. We write or revise the quality manual, procedures, and forms — sized to your business.
