Changes to ISO 9001 Quality management systems – Requirements
Updated
Ed. 2, see list of changes at the end of this document
The purpose of this document is to demonstrate the changes between ISO 9001:2015 (published in September
2015) and ISO 9001:2008. Due to the applicable copyright laws this has to be done without including large
extracts from the standard documents.
This is a concentrated and edited extract from the original documented information which constitutes a
PowerPoint presentation, approximately 90 min. in duration, where the restrictions with respect to including
standard text do not apply.
This document replaces another document with the same title, published 2015-09-09, which was prepared when
the final draft ISO/FDIS 9001:2015 was available but not the finished standard.

STANDARDS FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. HISTORY
The
1950's
Requirements on suppliers in addition to product requirements begin to be made.
MIL-Q-9858:1959 is issued by the U. S. Army, Navy and Air Force (together).
The
1960's
and
1970's
Standards for different product categories are being issued.
National standards are being issued in several countries.
Series with 3 different levels of requirements are usual.
There is a need for a common standard. ISO's Technical Committee No. 176 is established in
1979.
The
1980's
ISO 9001, 9002 and 9003 are issued in 1987. Will replace the majority of older standards from
different publishers. Approved as, for instance, European standards and National standards in
many countries.
Application becomes usual also for products which do not belong to the most qualified.
The
1990's
Certification (registration) of quality management systems begins to be usual.
The 2nd editions of ISO 9001, 9002 and 9003 are issued in 1994. No fundamental changes to
the requirements.
ISO/TC 176 publishes several other quality related standards.
The standard for Environmental management systems ISO 14001 issued in 1996 by ISO/TC 207.
The
200x
years
The 3rd edition of ISO 9001 is issued in 2000.
ISO 9002 and 9003 are cancelled. Instead ISO 9001 offers the possibility to make "exclusions".
Terms which are usual within mechanical workshops are replaced. More general terms are
introduced.
The structure is made "process oriented" without any drastical changes to the very requirements.
Sector specific standards are being issued, e. g. ISO/TS 16949 (automotive).
International management system standards for a range of new areas are being issued.
The 4th edition of ISO 9001 is issued in 2008. Some minor adjustments of the requirements.
The
2010's
All International management system standards shall have common high level structure and
identical core text.
The 5th edition of ISO 9001 is issued in 2015.

Series of standards with different levels of requirement
At the beginning, ISO standards for quality management systems are issued representing 3 different levels of
requirement.
ISO 9001:1987 Quality systems – Model for quality assurance in design/development, production,
installation and servicing
ISO 9002:1987 Quality systems – Model for quality assurance in production and installation
ISO 9003:1987 Quality systems – Model for quality assurance in final inspection and test

ISO 9001 is the standard which has the largest number of sales, by far superior to all other standards.

THE ISO 9000-SERIES: ISO 9000, 9001 AND 9004. SPECIAL CONNECTIONS
ISO 9000:2015 Quality management systems — Fundamentals and vocabulary
The largest part of the contents of ISO 9000:2015 consists of definitions of terms.
Other major parts carry the headings:
Fundamental concepts
Quality management principles
Developing the QMS using fundamental concepts and principles
The new editions of ISO 9000 and ISO 9001 have been developed in parallel.
ISO 9004:2009. Managing for the sustained success of an organization — A quality management
approach
ISO 9001 and ISO 9004 have had a position as "a consistent pair".
ISO 9004 is a guidance document - not a requirement standard.
Adds guidelines on quality management where the range of the requirement standard (ISO 9001) ceases.
Was thought to serve as a possible bridge between the requirement standard and, e. g., the critera for quality
awards.
The method to illustrate the connection with ISO 9001 has varied between different editions.
ISO 9004 has never obtained a real sales success.

COMMON HIGH LEVEL STRUCTURE AND IDENTICAL CORE TEXT
Background
After the publication of the 1st edition of ISO 14001 in 1996, thoughts have arisen within the central ISO
organization that organizations may run into difficulties when implementing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
contemporaneously.
The situation is influenced by the appearance of management system standards within several new areas.
The ISO organization made contacts on the highest management level within industry, governments and other
organizations in order to get views.
A conclusion was made that co-ordination between management system standards is needed.
Nomination of the Joint Technical Coordination Group JTCG (2006-2011)
Around 2006, the ISO Technical Management Board appointed a ”Joint Technical Coordination Group” (JTCG)
consisting of people representing the different areas for which Management System Standards (MSS) had been
published by ISO or were under preparation. The task of the JTCG was to prepare the following:
"High Level Structure and Identical Text for MSS and for the common MS terms and core definitions".
Members of the JTCG
The JTCG included representatives of different Technical committees:
ISO/TC 8 Ships and marine technology
ISO/TC 34 Food products
ISO/TC 176 Quality management and quality assurance
ISO/TC 207 Environmental management
ISO/TC 223 Societal security
ISO/TC 241 Road-Traffic Safety Management System
ISO/TC 242 Energy Management
ISO/IEC Joint project on Risk Management
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 IT Security techniques
The JTCG result is laid down in ISO/IEC Directives
The result of the JTCG work is published in ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Consolidated ISO Supplement –
Procedures specific to ISO, Annex SL, Appendix 2 (normative). Available on the Internet, see
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objId=4230452&objAction=browse&sort=subtype
The revised ISO 9001 was required strictly to observe the mentioned directive.
Combination of common and discipline specific text. Example from ISO 9001:2015
5.3 Organizational roles, responsibilities and authorities
Top management shall ensure that the responsibilities and authorities for relevant roles are assigned,
communicated and understood throughout the organization.
Top management shall assign the responsibility and authority for:
a) ensuring that the quality management system conforms to the requirements of this International Standard;
b) ensuring that the processes are delivering their intended outputs;
c) reporting on the performance of the quality management system and on opportunities for improvement (see
10.1) to top management;
d) ensuring the promotion of customer focus throughout the organization;
e) ensuring that the integrity of the quality management system is maintained when changes to the quality
management system are planned and implemented.
Blue text: common. Black text: specific to quality management system. Red text: actual discipline stated
Please observe that everything will be written in black text in the finished standard

THE CHANGES IN ISO 9001:2015 IN COMPARISON WITH ISO 9001:2008
Different types of changes
The changes in ISO 9001:2015 in comparison with ISO 9001:2008 are of different types, and these types can,
as a rule, be described in the following way:
sub-clause re-located to another place in the standard
editorial changes which are not noted as changes
a new word or a new mode of expression is used, which does not essentially or not at all change the
meaning of the requirements
addition of “new” requirements which may, however, be understood even in ISO 9001:2008 without being
expressly stated
addition of new requirements which may, however, be considered as natural, complementary additions in
comparison with what ISO 9001:2008 requires
new requirements which have no correspondence in ISO 9001:2008
This is not intended to be a scientific way of description of the changes and the interface between the types is
not always absolutely clear.

What is ”The process approach”?
ISO 9001:2015, Clause 0 ”Introduction” includes a sub-clause 0.3 ”Process approach”. It refers, in principle,
to the following:
- applying the steps in ISO 9001:2015, sub-clause 4.4 “Quality management system and its
processes” under 4.4.1 a) – h)
- applying the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle (PDCA)
- applying Risk-based thinking. Reference is made to Annex A.4 ”Risk-based thinking”, which includes
more details
See figure!
Please note: This is not a requirement!
A guidance document on the Process Approach has been issued by ISO. See the list of supporting literature
on the last page!

7.5 Documented information
A special method is applied for comparison of requirements on “documented information”.
In ISO 9001:2008, the requirements on “documents” and “records” are separated and mainly different. In ISO
9001:2015 both categories are referred to as “documented information”, and the requirements are the same.
