The much awaited international standard for quality management has been published today (23rd September 2015) and is available for download from approved sources.
What’s New in ISO 9001:2015?
There’s never been a better time to implement quality management to ISO 9001. The mandatory documentation requirements have been much reduced and there is more emphasis on producing appropriate paperwork.
Other changes include:
• Uniformed ISO clause structure (Annex SL).
• More Practical Risk based approach.
• Less mandatory documents.
• No more preventive actions!
• More emphasis on the ‘context’ of your organisation.
• More emphasis on the ‘leadership” of your organisation.
• Better integration with other standards.
Certification Process
If you have an existing ISO 9001 certification the process will vary depending on your certification body, however in general there is a 3 year transition period.
Some certification bodies are using scheduled surveillance visits to make the transition, while others are requiring additional days to cover the changes.

We can recommend UKAS certification bodies that are ready to begin your ISO 9001 journey with you.
