News13/11/2008 - ISO 9001:2008
The amended version of the quality management standard ISO 9001 was published on November 14th. ISO's rules for the development of standards require their periodic review to decide if they need revising, maintaining or withdrawing. Compared to the 2000 revision, ISO 9001:2008 represents fine-tuning, rather than a thorough overhaul. It introduces clarifications to the requirements existing in ISO 9001:2000, based on user experience over the last eight years, and changes that are intended to improve further compatibility with the ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental management systems. ISO 9001:2008 will be the fourth edition of the standard which was first published in 1987. The third edition, published in 2000, represented a thorough revision, including new requirements and a sharpened customer focus, reflecting developments in quality management and experience gained since the publication of the initial version. Accordingly, clients will NOT be required to make any major changes to their existing management systems. All British Accreditation Bureau clients will be audited to the new standard when undertaking their surveillances in 2009. A new certificate, displaying the revised revision date, will then be issued.
