The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is at work on a major revision to the ISO 9001 standard, the internationally-recognized standard that outlines the principles for quality management systems. The revision, the first major rewrite since 2000, is presently scheduled for publication in September 2015, and is expected to include a number of important changes for organizations currently holding ISO 9001 certification, as well as those contemplating the development and implementation of a quality management system.
The ISO 9001 standard supports you develop a Quality Management System (QMS) to meet your customers’ quality necessities while constantly refining operational procedures. Since the standard is neither industry- nor product-specific, it may be used by any organization that provides a product.
