History
In the year 1979 a new standard was proposed based on BS 5750.
- In the year 1987 ISO published it's 1st edition of ISO 9001 standard (for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation, and servicing including the creation of new products), along with ISO 9002 (QMS for organizations not doing design & development without covering the creation of new products.), ISO 9003 (covered only the final inspection of finished product).
- In the year 1994 a limited revision standard ISO 9001:1994 was published.
- In the year 2000 a major revision was done withdrawing ISO 9002, ISO 9003 standards & ISO came with a common standard for every one i.e. ISO 9001:2000.
- In the year 2008 a minor amendment was done & new standard was known as ISO 9001:2008.
- In the year 2015 ISO made major changes in the structure & approach of standard and the new & latest standard is known as ISO 9001:2015
New standard ISO 9001 2015 has been published with many core changes. Few new requirements have been introduced that was not there in ISO 9001:2008 standard. Some major changes are as follows:
- Structural changes : The old standard (ISO 9001:2008) had 5 main sections / clauses (i.e. Clause 4 to clause 8) while in new standard (ISO 9001:2015) there are main 7 sections i.e. Clause 4 to clause 10). The new standard is more prepared for integration.
- Context : Now while establishing your quality management system, you have to decide context of your organization. Now you have to focus on needs & expectations of interested parties. The new standard ISO 9001:2015 wants you to consider external & internal issues which are relevant to your QMS.
- Documented Information : In new standard ISO 9001:2015 it is not mandatory to have documented procedures or a quality manual. Unlike old standard terms 'document'& 'Records has been eliminated & now both are known as 'documented information'
- Risk Based emphasis : The new standard ISO 9001:2015 wants you to identify & address risks & opportunities that can affect your product & service compliances which will result into increased customer satisfaction.
- Exclusions & Requirements : In old standard ISO 9001:2008 exclusion was limited to clause / section 7 only but now in ISO 9001:2015 the same concept can be applied to any clause / section if it is justified.
- Objects, Outputs, Products and Services : 'Object' is a new term in ISO 9001:2015 which means anything conceivable or perceivable. What was used to be called 'product 'in old standard (ISO 9001:2008) is now called 'Output 'in the new standard. Now both product & services are thought of as 'outputs'.
