ISO certified companies
in the Philippines should take a look at the new version of ISO 9001, the
ISO 9001:2015.
ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems is currently on
review. The final update of the version is expected to be released on latter
part of 2015.
ISO 9001 is one of the most well-known standards. For a
fact, more than one million certificates have been issued worldwide. The
standard provides requirements to help companies demonstrate that they can
offer their customers consistent, good quality products and services. It also
provides a framework to help them streamline their processes and become more
efficient at what they do.
ISO 9001 can be used by the organizations of all types and
sizes. It has inspired series of documents for sector-specific applications
including for the automotive sector, medical local government and more.
Why is ISO 9001 being revised?
According to ISO, they revisit all standards every five
years to establish if a revision is required to keep it current and relevant for
the marketplace. ISO 9001:2015 is expected to respond to the latest trends and
be compatible with other management systems such as ISO 14001.
What will be the main changes in the standard?
The newer version will follow a new, higher level of
structure to make it easier to use in conjunction with other management
standards, with increased importance given to risk.
What does this mean for an ISO certified 9001: 2008?
Three-year transition period is granted to organizations
after the revision has been published, in order for them to have ample time to
migrate their quality management system to the new edition of the standard.
Knowing these updates will help your company or organization
to keep on the latest trends. To know more about the update, please get back to
this blog regularly. The standard is now at the final draft (FDIS). Experts in
the ISO subcommittee revising the standard will now go through all the comments
received during the last DIS vote. This will produce a final draft which then
will be put toward for voting. Once approved, the standard can then be
published.
