23.09.2015: ISO 9001:2015 final version has been published!

The latest edition of ISO 9001, ISO’s flagship quality management systems standard, has just been published. This concludes over three years of revision work by experts from nearly 95 participating and observing countries to bring the standard up to date with modern needs.

The 2015 edition features important changes, which Nigel Croft, Chair of the ISO subcommittee that developed and revised the standard, refers to as an “evolutionary rather than a revolutionary” process. “We are just bringing ISO 9001 firmly into the 21st century. The earlier versions of ISO 9001 were quite prescriptive, with many requirements for documented procedures and records. In the 2000 and 2008 editions, we focused more on managing processes, and less on documentation.

“We have now gone a step further, and ISO 9001:2015 is even less prescriptive than its predecessor, focusing instead on performance. We have achieved this by combining the process approach with risk-based thinking, and employing the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle at all levels in the organization.

ISO 9001:2015 replaces previous editions and certification bodies will have up to three years to migrate certificates to the new version.

ISO 9000, which lays down the concepts and language used throughout the ISO 9000 family of standards, has also been revised and a new edition is available.

Both ISO 9001 and ISO 9000 are currently available from the ISO store. They will also be available from the national standardization body (ASRO), at a date that will be announced in the near future.

You can read further details on the official ISO website (http://www.iso.org/).
