Why ISO 9001 is changing
All ISO management system standards are subject to a periodic review under the rules by which they are written.

- 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
