Latest ISO 9001 ends three-year revisions

摘要

The latest edition of ISO 9001, ISO's flagship quality management systems standard, has just been published. This concludes over three years of revision work by experts from nearly 95 participating and observing countries to bring the standard up to date with modern needs. With more than 1.1 million certificates issued worldwide, ISO 9001 helps organisations demonstrate that they can offer products and services of consistently good quality. It also acts as a tool to streamline their processes and make them more efficient. Acting ISO secretary-general Kevin McKinley explained: "ISO 9001 allows organisations to adapt to a changing world."
