ISO 9001 to be revised
ISO 9001:2000 is due to be updated later this year. The British
Standards Institute (BSI) suggests that there will probably be little
impact. Organisations that are certified to ISO 9001:2000 will be given
twelve months to make any changes.
However the BSI reports that
ISO 9004 may undergo a number of changes. The provisional title is
"Managing for sustainable success – a quality management approach."
They state that:
Due to the significant changes this standard will no longer be updated at the same time as ISO 9001 and its planned publication is the end of 2009. In the meantime, until the publication of this version, the current ISO 9004:2000 will remain alongside ISO 9001:2000 and the subsequent ISO 9001:2008 version until the 2009 version is published, when the 2000 version will be withdrawn.
