Important Certification News: ISO 9001 new version released
After 20 years of ISO 9001 standard, close to 1,000,000 certificates have been issued throughout 175 countries or economies. This benchmark continues to be a valued standard and a way to differentiate yourself from the competition. Ensuring the quality of your products remains the core of the newly revised ISO standard.
What are the main changes? In 2000, major changes were put in place and continue to remain important and valid. The current changes are more a clarification of points already in the standard rather than the inclusion of new requirements. Changes have also been made in order to be consistent with the current ISO 14001 revision (2004), therefore making the combination easier and more efficient.
The main changes are as follows:
- Reinforcement of control over outsourced processes that affect product conformity to requirements
- Management representative has to be a member of the certified organisation and not an external individual
- Competence is much more a key issue in the new standard, as it specifies that the competence of personnel affecting the conformity to product requirements must be controlled by the organisation.
- Additional guidance to explain the different methods on measuring and monitoring customer satisfaction
- Clarification that information systems are included as a part of the company’s infrastructure, and therefore the management system.
What does this mean for you, if you're already ISO 9001:2000 certified?
As the changes to the standard are very minor, there will be little impact on your audits and this will not require any additional auditing time. The transition to this new revision will be performed either during the next surveillance audit or the next recertification- whichever comes first, and no later than the 15th of November 2010. A new certificate will then be issued replacing your current certificate (including multi-sites). The expiration date of a new certificate issued after a surveillance audit remain the same as the previous one.
Our teams will guide you and support you through this process at no additional cost.
