ISO 9001:2015 Transition
To Be or Not to Be?
ISO 9001:2008
has been revised. The
ISO 9001:2015
was published September 2015.
Organizations registered to ISO 9001:2008 have until September 14, 2018 to transition to the 2015 standard. After that date, the ISO 9001:2008 registrations are no longer valid.
Management must decide
if it wants to adopt the new version of ISO 9001 or stay the course. The decision should be based on a business’ need to maintain its quality management system certification relative to the organization’s objectives. If the decision is to make the transition to the 2015 version, the following recommended actions are provided:
1
1. Identify organizational gaps which need to be addressed to meet new requirements. (You can use the QualityWBT Center for Education checklist that shows the changes between 9001:2008 and 9001:2015). The checklist is available from our course catalog at
www.QualityWBT.org
.
2. Develop an implementation plan. When planning how to achieve its quality objectives (clause 6.2.2), the organization shall determine:
o what will be done;
o what resources will be required;
o who will be responsible;
o when it will be completed;
o how the results will be evaluated.
3. Provide appropriate training and awareness for all parties that have an impact on the effectiveness of the organization.
o Overview training for persons not directly involved in the transition
o Auditor training and qualification
o Management team training
4. Update the existing quality management system to meet the revised requirements and provide verification of effectiveness.
5. Where applicable, liaise with the certification body for transition arrangements.
