ISO 9000 2008 OR ISO 9001 2008

Posted July 11, 2009 - 10:56 by isohelpline
Many people are still confused regarding recent revision of international standard ISO 9001.

Many people believe that ISO 9000 : 2000 is now ISO 9000 : 2008 but this is not true. ISO 9000 is a generic term used for ISO 9000 series of standards. When ISO 9000 series was revised in year 2000 all the three standards (ISO 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 9004) were revised.

The certification is given only for ISO 9001 but it was acceptable to call ISO 9000: 2000 certified or ISO 9001: 2000 certified.

Amendments in 2008 Version

Posted March 21, 2009 - 11:37 by isohelpline

ISO 9001 is a global standard. World changes faster then standards and hence standards need to be revised to keep them continuing suitable to user needs. This may be due to emergence of new industry sectors, World Wide Web, outsourcing, off-shoring, globalization etc.

Implementing the Process Approach

Posted March 21, 2009 - 11:28 by isohelpline

The new ISO 9001:2008 standard requires the adoption of a process approach when developing, implementing and improving a quality management system (QMS).

ISO 9000 Clause 2.4, The Process Approach states:

"Any activity or set of activities that uses resources to transform inputs to outputs can be considered as a process."

For organizations to function effectively, they have to identify and manage numerous interrelated and interacting processes. Often, the output from one process will directly form the input into the next process.
