ISO 9001 is an International Standard that specifies requirements for a Quality Management System(QMS). GSO is adopting the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide services that meet regulatory requirements. GSO was first certified with MS ISO 9001:2000 in March 2007, and the standard framework was then upgraded to MS ISO 9001:2008 in March 2010.
