BA 9000 is voluntary right up until it shows up on an agency RFQ. That is when it becomes urgent, usually at the moment a manufacturer realizes they cannot bid.
Holding ISO 9001 does not automatically get you BA 9000 certified. It is a separate certification, and it has to come from an accredited certification body.
We built the BA 9000 Readiness System so manufacturers can see where they actually stand before spending a dollar on it. It maps BA 9000 requirements to a Plan, Do, Check, Act structure, with a full readiness checklist and a 60-point scoring survey.
Score yourself, then send the results to [email protected] and we will walk through what the gaps mean.
