What does ISO 9004:2009 primarily address?

• A. Quality Management System for sustained success of an organisation
• B. Guidelines for auditing management systems
• C. Environmental management standards
• D. Occupational safety management

Answer: (A)

ISO 9004:2009 provides guidance for sustaining an organization's long-term success through quality management. It helps organizations improve performance and durability by showing how quality management can be integrated with strategy, leadership, and processes to achieve continual improvement and stakeholder satisfaction. It complements ISO 9001 by focusing on long-term effectiveness and adaptability rather than just meeting minimum certification requirements. It isn’t about auditing management systems (that area is covered by other guidance), nor is it about environmental management standards or occupational safety management.
