**Abstract**

This text seeks to demonstrate how mining companies that adopt the ISO management standards could, at the same time, integrate them into the tailings management model represented by the Tailings Guide by Mining Association of Canada and demonstrate adherence to the Global Standard developed by the Global Tailings Review, while adopting the quality management approach advocated by the authors, aimed at the design and construction of tailings dams.
