Summary of Changes - ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9001:2008
It is said that the changes in ISO 9001:2008 are primarily clarifications that are intended to provide clarity and thus improve understanding of the existing (ISO 9001:2000) requirements.
I also understand most of the changes are for ease of use and improved compatibility with ISO 14001:2004.
ISO-IAF Joint Plan According to a joint announcement by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IAF (International Accreditation Forum), the two organizations have agreed to an implementation plan for a smooth migration to ISO 9001:2008. 1) Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 will only be issued after publication of ISO 9001:2008 (issued November 15, 2008) and after a routine surveillance audit or re-certification audit against ISO 9001:2008. 2) One year after publication of ISO 9001:2008, all certifications issued (new certifications and re-certifications) must be to ISO 9001:2008. 3) Two years after publication of ISO 9001:2008, existing ISO 9001:2000 certifications will not be valid.
This plan is possible, because ISO and IAF agreed that ISO 9001:2008 introduces no new requirements. The revised quality standard only introduces clarifications to the ISO 9001:2000 requirements, as well as, changes to improve consistency with ISO 14001:2004, the environmental standard.
ISO 9001:2008 Differences The differences in ISO 9001:2008 vs. ISO 9001:2000 are described below. Deleted ISO 9001:2000 text is indicated by strikethroughs. New ISO 9001:2008 text is highlighted and underlined. The underlining will allow readers to distinguish the new text, even if this paper is printed without color.
Most of the text in ISO 9001:2000 has not been affected by ISO 9001:2008. Text from the standard is shown in this paper as Italics to distinguish it from comments.
