Expertise / Integrated Management Systems

As stated in legal arguments, real and legal persons should be separate.

Founders and managers need to get rid of their personal wishes and expectations and take the necessary steps for corporate development. For this, a certain and permanent purpose, the qualification of independence and a solid organized structure is required.

Ennex SL

Management system standards have been prepared in different ways for a long time without considering the integration requirements. Many attempts have been made to harmonize management systems since the late 1990s, but the first group that managed to reach an agreement was the Joint Technical Coordination Group (JTCG) established by the ISO / Technical Board of Directors.

Annex SL is part of the ISO / IEC Directives part 1 that specifies how the ISO Management System Standards (MSS) should be written. The purpose of Annex SL is to increase the consistency and alignment of the MSS by providing a unifying and agreed high-level structure, identical underlying text, common terms and key definitions. The aim is to increase compatibility of all ISO Type A MSS (and B where appropriate).

High level structure

According to Annex SL, a Management System Standard should follow the structure:
● Scope
● Normative references
● Terms and definitions
● Context of the organisation
● Leadership
● Planning
● Support
● Operation
● Performance evaluation
● Improvement
As ATLASCert®, we evaluate the management system standard requirements prepared by ISO (International Organization For Standardization) within the framework of corporate needs and resources and try to create effective management systems for organizations.
