5S is a workplace organisation method that began in Japanese manufacturing and is now used in factories, warehouses, hospitals, offices, laboratories and educational institutions. It builds a clean, safe, orderly and efficient workplace through five simple disciplines.
TnM (Transparent & Noble Mark) Certification assesses how well your organisation has implemented and sustained 5S, and recognises that achievement with a certificate you can show to customers, auditors and employees.
Note: 5S is a practice-based framework rather than an ISO management system standard. It also works well alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Clean the workplace and equipment, and use cleaning as a way to spot problems early.
Seiketsu – Standardise
Make the first three S routine with clear visual standards, checklists and labels.
Shitsuke – Sustain
Build the habit and discipline through training, audits and management follow-up.
