ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 were just released in September, almost immediate, the 1st Seminar for Government & Public Sector was held on 9 October at the headquarters of HKIE.

This seminar is supported by Hong Kong Institution of Engineers – MIE (HKIE), TQM Consultants Co. Ltd (TQM) and HKQAA, which TQM is the consultancy firm and HKQAA is the certificate body with the most experience in Government Department Projects. With their rich experience, this seminar provided a deep and original view on ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 to Government Departments, for example, the definition of customers and supply chain of Hei Ling Chau Correctional Institution, Hong Kong Correctional Services Department in achieving ISO 14001 and of Hong Kong Lands Tribunal in achieving ISO 9001. Ir. Dr Aaron Tong has pointed out that instead of naming ISO 9001 as Quality Management System, Operation Management System’s Quality is more appropriate.

During the seminar, Ir Dr Aaron Tong highlighted several updates on ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015:

• High-Level Structure
