The fourth edition of the ISO 9001 standard is now available! GOAL/QPC has developed a brand new Memory Jogger to include all the changes to the standard. 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.
Although there are no new requirements, the standard has changed in subtle yet important ways. Key benefits of the new ISO 9001:2008 standards include:
- Better clarity of existing requirements - Increased compatibility with ISO 14001 - Better consistency with ISO 9000 family of standards - Improved translation
The Memory Jogger 9001:2008: Implementing a process approach compliant to ISO 9001:2008 quality management systems standard is written in our acclaimed easy-to-use and understand format. It is the best publication available for your organization to use while transitioning to the new 2008 standards.
