All
ISO standards are reviewed every five years to establish if a revision is
required to keep it current and relevant for the marketplace. ISO 9001:2015 is
designed to respond to the latest trends and be compatible with other
management systems such as ISO 14001.
The
new version follows a new, higher level structure to make it easier to use in
conjunction with other management system standards, with increased importance
given to risk. More information about the changes can be found in the news area.
The
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is working on a major
revision of the ISO 9001 standard. The last revision dates back to 2008 and
introduced a small number of new requirements. Publication of the final version
of ISO 9001:2015 is expected at the end of 2015. The working draft, ISO/DIS
9001:2015, is now available, and has a clear objective.
ISO 9001:2015 encourages increased external
focus on quality management as part of its risk-based approach – work with CDG to
transition to the new edition.
ISO 9001:2015 positions the new version of the standard as
an integral part of an organization’s efforts towards sustainable development
and promotes it as a tool for improving overall performance.
The International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) normally reviews standards every five years to ensure that they are
relevant to changing market demands. ISO 9001:2015 is now published.
