Salient features of the ISO 9001:2015 standard

Following are the salient features of the ISO 9001:2015 standard:

• The 2015 version of ISO 9001 has a common higher-level structure and text with the intent to make integration with other management system standards easier. For instance, it is easier to integrate ISO 9001 with ISO 14001, ISO 27001 since each of these standards have common text with the same common 10 clauses.
• Risk based Thinking: The ISO 9001:2015 version gives more importance to risk based thinking. It emphasizes on a risk-based approach. Risk will be integral to the entire quality management system. Preventive action from ISO 9001:2008 has been replaced by risk management and planning. Our ISO 9001 Consultants in Bangalore ensure that our clients apply Risk based thinking effectively to their processes.
• ISO 9001 Documentation: The requirements of the ISO 9001 2015 version are less prescriptive. For instance, instead of the explicit need for traditional documentation like a quality manual, it suggests for a more flexible documented information. However, this does not imply that organizations who currently have a quality manual need to change or discard. They can still retain old practices as “best practices” if it helps them. It is only that the flexibility of documentation is increased, where relevant information can be retained and can be made available when needed. This makes it more flexible for service-related organizations.
• The concept of Context of the Organization requires that the organization while determining its environment should not only consider customers, employees and suppliers, but also those who get affected by their operations for instance the communities in which they operate or may have significant influence. Organizations must now establish internal context and external context and identify the issues related to the internal and external environments. Organizations must also identify the interested parties who are relevant to their businesses. These can be internal interested parties like Business owners & employees and external interested parties like customers, vendors, government bodies, financial institutions, external investors, etc. After identifying these interested parties, the requirements of these interested parties must be identified and fulfilled by the Organization.
• Organizational Knowledge is a great feature of the ISO 9001 standard. Organizations will now have to collect (and if possible document) the knowledge gained by individuals, project knowledge, experience notes, process improvement points,etc. This will enable the organizations to function even when a key resource leaves the organization. The knowledge can be made available to individuals on a “need-to-know” basis and to the extent required.

Our competent ISO 9001 Consultants in Bangalore will make sure that the above features are well understood and successfully implemented by our client organization.
