SONY ISO-9001 certified ?

[Rob_67]

Hello,

I saw on your website the page https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/csr_report/quality/management.html which seems to indicate that Sony would be ISO-9001 certified. That would indeed indicate engagement for continuous improvement, product quality and quality management system...

May I ask if this certification is still relevant and recently validated with a known auditor ?

Thank you all for your answers,

Hi Rob_67,

Based on the link you shared, which seems genuine. Sony has already obtained the ISO 9001. I believe this is already valid.

Hi @The_Black_Rose ,

Well, thank you for your answer, but actually as such it is not valid (...otherwise anybody could just claim ISO9001 compliancy on his own website, of course)

In order to be valid, a valid certificate has to be issued by a certification body, i.e. an external company, which has in turn to be accredited by a national or international accreditation body like IAF (https://www.iaf.nu).

The certificate must indicate at least  (1) the scope; (2) the certification body; (3) the original registration date, the last renewal date (date of the last audit) and the expiry date.

See for instance

     https://www.digitalprojection.com/fr/iso-9001/digital-projeciton-iso9001-certificate/

     https://www.jss.jaxa.jp/en/iso9001_certificate/

     https://www.wabtec.com/fr/documents/5426/iso-9001-certification

     https://schusterusa.com/products/schuster-quality-policy-2/iso90012008-certificate/

or just search Google image for "ISO 9001 certificate" to get this information for each and every company.

However, I did not directly find this information for Sony...which is my question. These are the information that are important to have an indication of quality within a company.

HI Rob_67,

To be perfectly honest with you, I don't think a company as big as Sony would claim something they don't have on their official website. If it's on their website then it's definitely true, they wouldn't really risk their name to add an ISO certification they didn't obtain.

Hi @The_Black_Rose,

I fully agree with you, that was also my initial assumption, but if it is so obvious why isn't that information simply shared... ?

Thanks,

Hi Rob_67,

I'm not so sure why not all of the info is shared. I'll try passing this to one of my contacts at Sony and see what they'll say.
