ISO 9001 Recertification
Keystone is proud to announce that we recently received our ISO 9001 recertification! Being ISO 9001 certified is a big deal. It’s the world’s best known quality standard that demonstrates a company’s ability to consistently meet customer expectations. To maintain ISO 9001 certification, you must requalify with a third-party audit performed every three years. Maintaining our certification demonstrates Keystone’s high standard of continuous improvement as a world-class company that pursues excellence.
The ISO 9001 Certification Audit
The ISO 9001 certification audit is a structured, independent, and documented assessment of an organization’s quality management system (QMS) to verify its compliance with ISO 9001 standards. The purpose of this audit is to identify areas for improvement or instances of non-conformity within the QMS. Conducted by an external auditor, the audit involves reviewing the quality plan, quality assurance processes, and ongoing quality improvement efforts. Through this process, the auditor examines documented information, evaluates on-site operations, and interviews personnel. Based on the findings, the auditor may either grant certification or request corrective actions to address any identified issues.
What ISO 9001 Means for Keystone
Achieving ISO 9001 recertification represents Keystone’s commitment to maintaining and enhancing quality standards across all processes, systems, services, and documentation, ensuring they meet rigorous ISO requirements for safety, quality, and efficiency.

Employee engagement is another key aspect, as Keystone fosters a supportive culture that prioritizes training, professional growth, and career development.
