ISO 9001 (2000 and 2008), Quality management systems – Requirements are globally most used standards. The total number of issued certificates tends to increase year by year, according to the annual surveys of International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The situation in Latvia is similar – the total number of the standard user organizations grows every year only in much smaller amounts. However, the information on issued certificates is insufficient for realizing an in-depth analysis of standard user organizations. This study is important for providing detailed information on enterprises according to their size class and for information on the proportion of certified enterprises to overall number of enterprises to observe the most active scale group of business for ISO 9001 certification. The expected outcome of the research – the number of certified enterprises and their distribution by size class (micro, small, medium- sized and large scale enterprises) in Latvia.

<p>Although the literature points out that quality management is closely linked to the strategic management of an organization, it is surprising that the pre-2015 versions of ISO 9001 - reference standard for the implementation of Quality Management Systems (QMS) - did not have mandatory requirements for linking quality management to organizational strategy. This study examines the new revision of the standard, published in September 2015, which incorporates new strategic management requirements aimed at reorienting organizations and their QMS into their business operations. In a first phase, a detailed verification of the changes of the standard proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which expects a closer approximation of quality management to strategic management, was carried out. The work also sought to evaluate the implications of this review through the analysis of reviewers of the standard, consultants and auditors of certified companies. The analysis shows that the insertion of strategic management into ISO 9001 can leverage the degree of participation of top management in the effectiveness of QMS of certified companies, systematize strategic management as a routine in these companies and contribute with managers, auditors and consultants, in order to minimize potential impacts on the adequacy of its QMS.</p>
