Quality Related Legislation & Regulation Assignment

Assignment background

Quality legislation and regulations are fundamental to all businesses, whether they are part of design activities or part of the review of requirements for the supply of products or services. A lack of awareness or understanding of the implications of these elements can lead to a significant risk to the business.

Your task is to identify for your management team the range of quality related legislation and regulations that applies to your organisation. You will need to show how risk to the organisation can be assessed and mitigated and the implications to the business if this is not done.

Identify how conformity assessment can be used to demonstrate legal compliance, and how quality management can be used to ensure that there are robust processes established to achieve and maintain legal compliance.

Include a real-life example, not associated with your organisation, but from the press or media of where an organisation has not met fundamental quality legislation or regulations, and comment on the short and long-term implications.
