The new ISO 9001 revision of the world’s most popular quality management standard is expected to be published in 2025. The revision has been met with some criticism, but it also has the potential to make ISO 9001 more relevant and useful for organizations of all sizes.
Key Changes in ISO 9001 Revision
Here are some of the key changes that are expected in the new revision of ISO 9001:
A focus on risk-based thinking: The new revision will place a greater emphasis on risk-based thinking. This means that organizations will need to identify and assess the risks that could impact their ability to meet their quality objectives.
A focus on sustainability: It will also place a greater emphasis on sustainability. This means that organizations will need to consider the environmental and social impact of their activities.
A more flexible approach: The revision will take a more flexible approach to compliance. This means that organizations will have more freedom to choose how they implement the standard.
A focus on continuous improvement: The new revision will place a greater emphasis on continuous improvement. This means that organizations will need to continually review and improve their quality management systems.
The new revision of ISO 9001 is still under development, so it is not yet clear exactly what the final changes will be. However, the changes that have been proposed so far suggest that the new revision will be a significant update to the standard.
Organizations that are currently certified to ISO 9001 will need to transition to the new revision by the end of 2027. This will give organizations plenty of time to prepare for the changes.
If you are considering getting certified to ISO 9001, it is important to know that the change is expected to make ISO 9001 more relevant and useful for organizations of all sizes. It is also expected to be a more flexible standard, which will make it easier for organizations to implement.
