Why ISO 9001 is changing

All ISO management system standards are subject to a periodic review under the rules by which they are written. Following a user survey the ISO Committee responsible for ISO 9001 determined that a review was appropriate and created the following objectives to maintain its relevance in today’s market place:

  • Integrate with other management systems
  • Provide an integrated approach to organisational management
  • Provide a consistent foundation for the next 10 years
  • Reflect the increasingly complex environments in which organisations’ operate
  • Ensure the new Standard reflects the needs of all potential user groups
  • Enhance an organisation’s ability to satisfy its customers

 

ISO 9001 version 2015: key changes

The key changes in the proposed standard for 2015 are:

 

  • Context of the organisation
  • The emphasis on leadership
  • The focus on risk management
  • Emphasis on objectives, measurement and change
