Big changes are coming to ISO 9001.

For the uninitiated, ISO 9001 is an international set of standards used by over a million businesses in 170 countries to prove to potential clients that they are able to manage their services effectively and satisfy their clients. Some larger clients might even require that anyone they do business with is ISO 9001 certified.

The 2008 version that remained the standard for 7 years was overhauled earlier this year in March. Further revisions will be made in July – August to work out all the kinks. The final version of ISO 9001:2015 will be published by the end of the year, and it’s projected to take effect and replace ISO 9001:2008 in early 2016.

It takes a true expert to figure out what some of the vaguer sections in ISO 9001 actually mean. For example, one change from the 2008 to the 2015 version of ISO 9001 is that use of the word “product” will be changed to “goods and services”. Will a nuanced change in language like that affect you?
