It means that it has attained that level of ISO certification in their management style. Using the quote marks too, put "ISO 90001" in a Yahoo! or Google search to find out even more about this level of certification.

ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard must fulfill.
Third-party certification bodies provide independent confirmation that organizations meet the requirements of ISO 9001. Over one million organizations worldwide are independently certified, making ISO 9001 one of the most widely used management tools in the world today. However, the ISO certification process has been criticized as being wasteful and not being useful for all organizations.

First of all, I think ISO 90001 (with 3 zeros) is a quite commonly made mistake. The umbrella quality standard is known as ISO9000, and from there you have ISO9001 (with 2 zeros) which covers design and development, and ISO9002 which covers manufacturing only.
ISO 9002 is easier to implement and achieve than ISO9001. that's why factories that do not have their own design and R&D just go for this one.
A factory that also does design and developement therefore goes for ISO9001 which includes all product design and manufacturing stages.
A "ISO9001 factory" is therefore a manufacturer that has received accreditation that they work to, and maintain to work to, the quailty systems and procedures set out therein.

ISO=International Standards of Operation.
It means that the factory in question has a certifiable standard that it holds itself too that other factories understand and respect.
