3. Requirements for the ISO 9001 revision 2015
Strategic objectives of the ISO 9000 responsible committee ISO/TC 176/SC2
Systematic review on ISO 9001:2008

4. Design specification for the ISO 9001 revision 2015
The revision will:
a) Take account of changes in quality management systems practices and technology since the last major revision to ISO 9001 (in the year 2000) and to provide a stable core set of requirements for the next 10 years or more.
b) Ensure that requirements in this standard reflect the changes in the increasingly complex, demanding, and dynamic environments in which organizations operate.
c) Ensure that requirements are stated to facilitate effective implementation by organizations and effective conformity assessment by 1st, 2nd and 3rd parties.
d) Ensure that the standard is adequate to provide confidence in those organizations meeting the standard’s requirements
How well have these requirements been realized in the standard?

7. Risk management in the ISO 9001:2015
The new ISO 9001 standard makes risk-based thinking more explicit than the previous ones and this covers the whole standard including requirements for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of the quality management system.
Organizations must decide how the necessary risk management is to be applied to the entire organization, at its different areas and levels, at any time, as well as to specific functions, projects and activities. Standard ISO provides guidelines on formal risk management and recommends how the organization can develop, implement and continuously improve a framework whose purpose is to integrate the process for managing risk into the organization's overall governance, strategy and planning, management, reporting processes, policies, values and culture.
How well have risk management items realized and allocated in the standard text?

8. Pros and cons of the general international standardization
All standardization has positive and proactive aims:
Improved business performance and confidence, and quality of products
Decreased operational costs
Improved communication between people and organizations
Pros of general standardization:
Broad acceptance and distribution of the texts
Extensive expertise in preparing and commenting the standards
Wide commitment and recognition
No restrictions for innovative implementation
Cons of general standardization:
There is uneven and unbalanced groups of voluntary people participating the standardization work.
Management of the standardization is weak.
Only communally interesting issues are accepted to the final standard texts mainly due to the consensus principle.
Influence of the strong and active individuals and lobbying.
Only trivial means to implement the standard clauses may be considered in the standards.
Handling of the issues in the standard text is superficial.
Standardization process is very slow.
Participating in standardization is expensive.
All general international standards have serious inadequacies, inconsistencies and other problems mainly due to the normal standardization processes and particularly the consensus practices.
Organizations applying the standards should highlight their own responsibility of business leaders and experts and clarify, correct, and complete general standards and find creative solutions in their implementations in order to achieve business benefits.

9. Standardization, a linking factor between science and practice
An activity giving solutions for repetitive application, to problems essentially in the spheres of science, technology and economics, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context. Generally, the activity consists of the processes of formulating, issuing and implementing standards.
(ISO Guide 2)
Standard
A technical specification or other document available to the public, drawn up with the cooperation and consensus or general approval of all interests affected by it, based on the consolidated results of science, technology and experience, aimed at the promotion of optimum community benefits and approved by a standardization body
(ISO Guide 2) 1

10. Implementing the ISO 9000 series of standards
The ISO 9000 standards series for quality management systems (QMS) is it is an ensemble of:
ISO 9000: Fundamentals and vocabulary
ISO 9001: Requirements
ISO 9004: Managing for the sustained success of an organization
Different parts of the series form a complementary whole.
Starting point for implementing ISO 9001 is the organization itself, its business needs, and its QMS:
ISO 9001 presents requirements for organizations’ QMS
QMSs should be created by organizations themselves. QMSs have not been specified in any standards.
