1.0 INTRODUCTION
Several of the key standards within the current ISO 9000 family of Quality Management
and Quality Assurance standards are being revised to form the core of the future year
2000 ISO 9000 family of standards. These revisions will include:
The merging of ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994 into a single ISO
9001:2000 standard.
The merging of ISO 8402 and part of the content of ISO 9000-1 into a new ISO
9000:2000 standard.
The revision of ISO 9004-1 into a new ISO 9004:2000 standard.
The merger of ISO 10011 (Parts 1, 2 and 3) with ISO 14010, ISO 14011 and ISO
14012 into a new guidelines standard for quality and environmental management
system auditing (to be numbered ISO 19011).
The other 20 or so documents within the current ISO 9000 family of standards are also
being formally reviewed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, to determine whether
they should be revised, amended, or withdrawn from the ISO 9000 family etc., in light of
the above revisions.
Following extensive consultation with users of the current ISO 9000 standards, a number
of significant changes have been incorporated in the new drafts, particularly concerning
their underlying concepts and structures.
In summary, these changes will require users to approach quality management systems
as a series of processes, and not merely follow, for example, the 20 element discrete
quality management system structure given in ISO 9001:1994.
This process management approach is widely used in today’s business world, and has
led to the development of a process-based structure for the future standards. This new
process-based structure is compatible with the Plan-Do-Check-Act improvement cycle
used in the ISO 14000 family of standards on environmental management systems.
This Transition Planning Guidance has been developed to assist users in understanding
the issues that need to be considered during the transition from using ISO 9001:1994,
ISO 9002:1994, or ISO 9003:1994 to ISO 9001:2000.
In detailing the Transition Planning Guidance it has been found useful to provide specific
guidance to distinct User Groups, as follows:
• Current Users
• Transitional / Intermediate Users
• New Users

2.0 EXPLANATION OF TRANSITION PERIOD
The Transition Period has two distinct phases:
a) Phase One
This relates to the period when ISO 9001:2000 is being developed, until the issue of the
approved International Standard. The following development stages are included in
Phase one:
• CD1 (completed): The First Committee Draft (released for comment)

• CD2 (completed): The Second Committee Draft (released for comment / ballot)
• DIS (completed): Draft International Standard (released for comment / ballot)
• FDIS (started Sep 00): Final Draft International Standard (for ballot)
Although the approved International Standard is not expected to be published until

December 2000, some user groups have already commenced, or will commence,
implementation of ISO 9001:2000 based on the CD1, CD2, DIS or FDIS drafts.
b) Phase Two
This is the period after ISO 9001:2000 has been published, and during which accredited
certification/registration to the 1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002, or ISO 9003
continues to be available, in addition to accredited certification/registration to ISO
9001:2000.
The above phases and their relationship with various user groups are illustrated in the
Transition Process Model (see Figure 1).
2.1 Pre-publication period - Phase One
This phase has a direct impact on user groups that have already implemented ISO
9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994, ISO 9003:1994 or ISO 9004:1994 regardless of whether
they have sought certification/registration (see annex A, items 1 and 3). It is expected
that the following user groups will be affected during this phase:
• Individual organizations using ISO 9001/9002/9003 (including industry associations)

• Industry Sector Schemes and Award Schemes
• National Standards Bodies (NSBs)
• Accreditation Bodies(ABs)
• Certification/Registration Bodies(CB/RBs)
• Trainers and Consultants

2.2 Co-existence period - Phase Two
2.2.1 Duration of Phase 2
This phase concerns the co-existence of the availability of accredited certification to

the1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002, or ISO 9003 and to ISO 9001:2000. The same
user groups identified in 2.1 will be affected.
This phase will only last for a specific period, during which users will have to upgrade
their quality management systems to meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
In acknowledgement of Certification/Registration Body interests and the contractual

issues relevant to certification/registration in various countries, it is highly recommended
that users contact their Certification/Registration Body, or relevant Accreditation Body, for
advice regarding the details or time frame for implementing ISO 9001:2000. This is
particularly important when their certificate is subject to expiration based on a periodic
audit.
2.2.2 ISO/TC 176 – IAF – ISO/CASCO
In September 1999 a joint meeting was held between the International Accreditation
Forum (IAF), ISO/TC176 and ISO/CASCO (ISO Committee for conformity assessment),
to establish common and consistent messages to ensure a smooth transition to the new
standards.
As a result of this meeting, a joint communiqué was issued detailing five specific points
concerning the transition to ISO 9001:2000. A copy of this communiqué is given in Annex
A. Further guidance will be made available regarding the Application (Clause 1.2 of ISO
9001:2000), and the implications for Scope Statements for certification purposes, from
web site http://www.bsi.org.uk/iso-tc176-sc2.
One of the five points specifies a maximum period of three years for the co-existence of
accredited certification to the 1994 and year 2000 editions of ISO 9001(see Annex A,
items 1 to 3). The IAF will co-ordinate enforcement of this policy by the Accreditation
Bodies.
ISO/CASCO has also been requested to determine how the current guidelines (ISO/IEC
Guide 61 and ISO/IEC Guide 62) that are followed by Certification/Registration and
Accreditation Bodies are affected by the new ISO 9001:2000. ISO/CASCO will liaise with
ISO/TC176 and the IAF during revisions of these Guides.

2.3 Definition of User Groups affected by the Transition Periods
2.3.1 Current Users
2.3.1.1 Users of ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994
This user group category is defined as having completed the implementation of ISO
9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994, regardless of whether or not they are
certified.
User groups that are in the process of implementing ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or
ISO 9003:1994 are addressed as Transitional / Intermediate Users (see 2.3.2).
2.3.1.2 Users of Industry Sector Schemes, based on ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or
ISO 9003:1994 and Awards Schemes
This user group can be divided into two categories:
The first group is defined as those using quality management system programmes based
on ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994 that include additional quality
management system requirements. These form a set of criteria that can either be
certified or accredited under the guidelines of a particular Industry Sector Scheme (e.g.

ISO/TS 16949 Quality systems – Automotive suppliers – Particular requirements for the
application of ISO 9001:1994).
The second group is defined as those using business excellence models incorporating
part of ISO 9001: 1994
This category of user may be certified or may have no intention to pursue third party
certification.
2.3.2 Transitional / Intermediate Users
This user category has been defined as those who are in the process of implementing
ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994 and have not yet reached full
implementation of the standards' requirements.
This category also includes users of Industry Sector Schemes and Award Schemes.
It is recognized that this category may also include users who have started to implement
quality management systems based on a draft version of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.
This category of user may either be in the process of seeking certification/registration,

intending to pursue certification/registration in the near future, or have no intention of
becoming certified/registered.
2.3.3 New Users
A New User is defined as an organisation that is either:
a) Beginning to use ISO 9001:2000 for the first time;

b) Beginning to implement ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994 for the first
time;
c) Is a potential user.

3.0 TRANSITION GUIDELINES FOR USER GROUPS
3.1 Current Users
3.1.1 Organizations using ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994
Organisations certified to ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994 are

recommended to contact their specific Certification / Registration Body to discuss the
time frame for re-certification or upgrade of current certificates.
To facilitate a smooth transition from ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994
to the ISO 9001:2000 revision (refer figure 2), the following key areas have been
identified as important to this user group:
• Internal Auditor training

(focusing on the changes between the current and the new standards)
• Management awareness
(focusing on the benefits that can be added to business as a result of the new
approach in the new standard, the structure of the new standard and the proactive top
management role)
• General staff awareness programs
(to encourage total involvement and understanding)
• An understanding of process management
• If all the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 cannot be applied in an organisation, a clear
understanding of the concept and criteria for the justification of any “exclusions” will
be necessary (see 6.2).
3.1.2 Industry Sector Schemes and Quality Awards
In general, Industry Sector Schemes are based on a relevant 1994 edition of an ISO
9000 standard and are supplemented with additional requirements and/or a higher level
of compliance criteria.
In consideration of ISO 9001:2000’s introduction of a process management approach, it

is recommended that these user groups commence a strategic plan to assess the
continuing suitability or need for supplemental requirements as soon as possible.
At this stage, the evaluation of supplemental requirements should be based on the Final
Draft International Standard (FDIS) version of ISO 9001:2000. However, it should be
undertaken with full awareness that the International Standard, when published, may
differ slightly from the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS).

While developing supplemental requirements to ISO 9001:2000, it is recommended that
the relevant user groups seek:
• to ensure consistent interpretation of the ISO 9001:2000 requirements

• to establish close relationships with the National Standards Bodies
• to establish close relationships with relevant Certification / Registration Bodies or
Accreditation Bodies
A consideration for Quality Award related Schemes, or similar programmes, is the role of
ISO 9004:2000 in providing guidance for performance improvement and in assisting
organizations to move toward TQM.
Although ISO 9004:2000 will be a guideline document, Quality Award Schemes etc. may
find it prudent to consider this document in their processes, as ISO 9004:2000 will now
include an annex on organizational self-assessment.
3.1.3 National Standards Bodies (NSBs)
a) Information Focal Point
NSBs will be one of the primary information sources for organizations needing assistance
during the transition period.
It is recommended that NSBs establish a focal information point where assistance can be
obtained on problems that may be encountered during the initial application of ISO
9001:2000 and related transition issues. These may include, for example, questions
relating to transition period timing, statutory issues, withdrawal of ISO 9001:1994, ISO
9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994, interpretation, exclusions, etc. This will also provide a
solid base for consistent communication with all interested parties / user groups.
b) Information output to Users and Interested Parties
In an effort to provide a smooth transition for users and interested parties, information
regarding the ISO 9001:2000 revision of the standard should be communicated in a
timely manner.
It is recommended that NSBs synchronise their information programmes with the

information flows from ISO and ISO/TC 176 (ref. the www.bsi.org.uk/iso-tc176-sc2 web
site) and reuse as much first hand information as considered relevant.
The information provided should also advise on the relationship and use of other
standards (or documents) in the new ISO 9000:2000 series, especially ISO 9004:2000
and ISO 9000:2000.


c) Translation Issues
If a requirement for translation of the new standards exists, the translation process
should be started as early as possible, using the FDIS versions of the standards. This
may be of particular importance, given the significance of the changes that have been
incorporated into ISO 9001:2000 compared with the previous content of ISO 9001:1994,
ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994.
(ISO/TC176 will soon be issuing a document “Translation tips” to provide guidance on

this subject.)
3.1.4 Accreditation Bodies
Accreditation Bodies should consider the need for reassessment of the accreditation of
individual Certification / Registration Bodies.
Auditor competence is expected to play a major role during the transition period.
Consideration should be given to the criteria that will be used to assess auditor
competency in performing audits that verify compliance to ISO 9001:2000.
The recent IAF, ISO/TC 176, ISO/CASCO communiqué has established a policy for
consistent accreditation assessment of the competency of Certification/Registration Body
personnel with respect to the new standards (see annex A, item 4), in an effort to ensure
that all accreditation bodies use uniform criteria.
3.1.5 Certification/Registration Bodies
The changes in the standards are expected to place a relatively heavy burden on the
Certification/ Registration Bodies. Not only will they have to plan to meet the changes for
their customer organizations, but they will have to plan to address the changes within
their own organizations. Many of the items of direct concern to the Certification/
Registration Bodies during the transition period have been addressed by the IAF, ISO/TC
176, ISO/CASCO agreement (see annex A).
The following are some of the aspects that should be considered by Certification/
Registration Bodies during the transition process:
• Timing of assessment and certification activities based on ISO9001:2000

• Arrangement of assessment schedules for existing customer organizations
• Training of auditors
• Protocols for encouraging users to implement ISO 9001:2000
• Timely administration of upgraded certificates
The Certification/Registration Bodies will be one of the primary information sources for
organizations seeking assistance during the transition period.


It is important that the information they provide is well co-ordinated and consistent with
other Certification / Registration Bodies. To facilitate this process, it is recommended
that the Accreditation Bodies or NSBs participate in this co-ordination task.
Most importantly, Certification / Registration Bodies will have the task of informing their
existing customer base of certified/registered organisations of the new developments
concerning ISO 9001:2000. This should be followed-up by regular communication on the
implementation of expected changes in the standard, renewals of certification, individual
transition arrangements etc., to avoid any unnecessary confusion.
The competence of their auditors to assess to ISO 9001:2000 should be a major item for
consideration by Certification/Registration Bodies during the transition period. It will be
necessary to ensure that auditors receive appropriate training to achieve the required
levels of competence. It is recommended that Certification/ Registration Bodies start their
auditor training programmes as soon as possible.
It is expected that a considerable number of current users will request upgrade audits as
soon as possible, to enable them to utilise their audit reports to facilitate their own
transition processes. Certification/Registration Bodies should therefore schedule formal
assessments to start against the revised ISO 9001 standard at the FDIS stage. However,
following the IAF, ISO/TC 176, ISO/CASCO agreement, accredited certificates may not
be granted until the ISO 9001:2000 standard is published and compliance ensured (see
annex A, items 1 –3).
Note: Due to the process management approach of ISO 9001:2000, current users who
are considering "integrated" management systems may wish to accelerate the
implementation of such integrated systems. This in turn will require Certification/
Registration Bodies to respond accordingly and adopt an integrated audit
approach.
3.1.6 Training Bodies and Consultants
Training Bodies and consultants have an important role to play in the transition process
and are paramount to the success of a smooth transition from ISO 9001:1994, ISO
9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994 to ISO 9001:2000.
With respect to auditor training, consideration should be given to the currency of existing
auditor certification and the protocol to upgrade these auditors in readiness for the
release of ISO 9001:2000.
In the past, the 1994 revisions of these standards did not pose the same level of
transition complication, due to the low extent of changes that were introduced when
compared to the earlier 1987 editions. The ISO 9001:2000 revision however, does
provide a number of significant changes that will require sound interpretation of its
requirements.


All trainers and consultants should be aware that the issue of a process management
approach is the key to the application of ISO 9001:2000, and should also be
knowledgeable of the revised requirements.
It is recommended that training bodies start to meet the need for competent auditors and
other personnel, by preparing suitable courses based on the available drafts of ISO
9001:2000. The training should be divided into different user applications and be based
on factual interpretations and not opinions (see annex A, item 4).
3.2 Transitional / Intermediate Users
Transitional / Intermediate users are those who either have implemented, or are currently
in the process of implementing, ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994.
Due to the change from the current 20 system element structure of the 1994 family of
ISO 9000 standards to that of a process management approach, it is strongly
recommended that this user group review their systems, or the development of their
systems, against the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
Users with established systems should not just discard them, as parts will continue to be
required under ISO 9001:2000. However, some system documentation may need to be
revised or enhanced to meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
Transitional / Intermediate users should consult with their Certification/Registration

Bodies or National Standards Bodies, in order to ensure that their information on the
transition of the standards is kept up-to-date.
3.3 New Users
While new users may be currently considering the implementation of ISO 9001:1994,
ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994, it is recommended that they also evaluate their quality
system objectives with a view to implementing ISO 9001:2000.
Consideration should be given the fact that the 1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and
ISO 9003 will be consolidated into the future ISO 9001:2000.
Care should be taken when sourcing training or professional assistance during the
implementation of ISO 9001:2000, due to its new structure and process management
approach.
New users should commence implementation using the most recent draft available at the
time of committing to the implementation of ISO 9001:2000.

4.0 AUTHENTICITY OF INFORMATION REGARDING ISO 9001:2000
It is of utmost importance to ensure the most uniform application of the standard

possible, given the inevitable variations caused by linguistic differences.
The first contact for information regarding the requirements of ISO 9001:2000
should be limited to National Standards Bodies. It is however, anticipated that
organizations that have already established a working relationship with
Certification / Registration Bodies, may feel more comfortable discussing ISO
9001:2000 requirements with them.

5.0 SUMMARISED COMPARISON OF KEY ENHANCEMENTS BETWEEN

ISO 9001:1994 / ISO 9001:2000
A comparison between ISO 9001:1994 and ISO 9001:2000 related to key enhancements
is given in chapter 5.4 to assist the user in identifying the scope of revisions to ISO
9001:2000. It is important to note that this comparison is not done “word by word”, it
only contains a summary of salient issues relevant to ISO 9001:2000 in consideration of
current ISO 9001:1994 requirements.
It is strongly recommended that the user obtain a copy of latest draft of ISO 9001:2000
from their respective ISO member body.
5.1 REQUIREMENTS CORRELATION TABLE BETWEEN ISO 9001:2000 AND

ISO 9001:1994
In the following table, the numbers in brackets show briefly how the quality system
requirements of ISO 9001:1994 fit into the new ISO 9001:2000, clauses 5 to 8.
It should be noted that although some clauses in ISO 9001:2000 have the same title as
in ISO 9001:1994, the contents may not be exactly the same and the requirements may
have been enhanced.

5.2 APPLICATION OF ISO 9001:2000
Currently an organization is able to seek certification against either ISO 9001:1994, ISO
9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994 dependent on the scope of their business operations.
The publication of ISO 9001:2000 will result in ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 and ISO
9003:1994 becoming obsolete. This will require that organizations upgrade their existing
certification if already certified, or that they seek certification to ISO 9001:2000.
However, it is recognized that owing to:
a) the nature of an organization's product;
b) customer requirements;
c) applicable regulatory requirements;
not all the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 may be appropriate to every organization.
Therefore ISO 9001:2000 will permit organizations to exclude compliance with specific
quality management system requirements that neither affect their ability, nor absolve
them from their responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable
regulatory requirements, yet still allow those organizations to claim conformity to the
standard.
Exclusions will be restricted to clause 7 Product realization of ISO 9001:2000 and will not
apply to any other clauses of the standard. Details of justification for any exclusions will
have to be documented in the organisation’s Quality Manual.
It is recommended that users discuss any intention to exclude certain clauses of ISO
9001:2000 with their selected Certification/Registration Body (see annex A, item 5), and

ANNEX A
IAF – ISO/TC 176 – ISO/CASCO Joint Working Group

COMMUNIQUE
September 27, 1999
Results of the IAF – ISO/TC 176 – ISO/CASCO joint session on

Transition Planning for the Year 2000 ISO 9000 Standards
Background
Industry expects that the introduction of the new ISO 9000 Family of standards will be a
coordinated effort between the developers of the standards, certification / registration bodies and
accreditation bodies. An International Accreditation Forum (IAF) – ISO/TC 176 – ISO/CASCO
joint session was held on September 26, 1999 in Vienna, Austria to establish common and
consistent messages to ensure a smooth transition to the new standards.
Scope of the work
To develop consistent implementation guidance for the new ISO 9000 standards for such
audiences as:
• organizations already certified / registered to ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 :1994
• organizations presently not certified / registered to ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 :1994
• certification / registration bodies
• accreditation bodies
• the general public
Agreements Reached
1. Accredited Certificates to the new ISO 9001 shall not be granted until the publication of
ISO 9001:2000 as an International Standard (IS)
For information - ISO 9001:2000 will replace the 1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO
9003. A Draft International Standard (DIS) of ISO 9001 is due to be released in November 1999.
Current plans are to circulate a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) in the third quarter of
2000 and to publish the new ISO 9001 as an International Standard (IS) in the fourth quarter of
2000.
2. Certification/Registration body assessments to the latest draft of the new standard may
begin prior to publication of the ISO 9001:2000 International Standard (IS)
Certification / Registration Bodies may begin to assess conformity to the latest draft of ISO
9001:2000 (ie, DIS or FDIS) prior to publication of the IS, so that organizations may prepare and
take any necessary actions. To minimize costs, currently certified / registered organizations may
consider taking advantage of the opportunity for assessment to the latest draft of the new ISO

9001:2000 as part of surveillance or reassessment audits for their existing certification /
registration.
However, certificates should not be issued against any DIS or FDIS issues of the standard.
Accredited certificates shall only be issued against the International Standard, and only after it has
been published by ISO.
3. Certificates issued to the 1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 shall have a
maximum validity of 3 years from the date of publication of ISO 9001:2000
Organizations certified / registered to the 1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 are
encouraged to make the transition to ISO 9001:2000 as soon as possible. It is recognized,
however,
that ISO 9001:2000 represents a fundamental change of approach from the 1994 series (refer to
latest revision of document ISO/TC176/SC2 N439 “Transition Planning Guidance”). Certification
/Registration Bodies may assess organisations against the 1994 standards for up to three years
from the date of publication of ISO9001-2000. However, Certification / Registration Bodies
should encourage organizations to make the transition to ISO 9001:2000 in time to ensure that
certification / registration can be completed before their certification / registration to the 1994
editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 expires.
4. ISO 9001:2000 will require auditors and other relevant Certification/Registration Body
personnel to demonstrate new competencies
The publication of ISO 9001:2000 will require certification / registration bodies to demonstrate
that they have satisfactorily managed the transition period.
IAF member accreditation bodies will advise their accredited certification / registration bodies
(through an agreed standard letter) that accreditation surveillance in the period following
publication by ISO of ISO DIS 9001:2000 will concentrate on how the certification / registration
body is managing the change within its certification / registration service. In particular, the
surveillance will focus on the competence of the certification / registration body auditors and other
relevant personnel with respect to the aspects of ISO DIS 9001:2000 that are different from those
necessary to provide certification / registration to ISO 9001/2/3:1994. The accreditation body will
assess the certification / registration body's program to ensure that its auditors and other relevant
personnel demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
• the eight Quality Management Principles on which the revised standards are based (see
Annex A);
• the requirements of the latest draft of ISO 9001:2000 and;
• the concepts and terminology of the latest draft of ISO 9000:2000.
The accreditation body will also assess the ability of the certification / registration body support
personnel to make the administrative changes required to be able to offer certification /
registration
to the new standard. (Note that ISO 9004:1994 includes guidance on improvement of
performance,

and ISO 9004:2000 will also include such guidance)
5. Certification / Registration Bodies will need to take particular care in defining the scope of
certificates issued to ISO 9001:2000, and the permissible exclusions to the requirements of
that standard.
Replacement of the 1994 editions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 with a single
requirements
standard (ISO 9001:2000) will necessitate the use of a very clear and concise description of the
activities of an organization that are included in the certification / registration process. Attention
should be given to the requirement in the Draft Standard, which states that the organization may
only exclude quality management system requirements that neither affect the organization's
ability,
nor absolve it from its responsibility, to provide product that meets customer requirements and
