ISO 9001 Standard

Are you following ISO 9001 standard in your company? Yes, GOOD!! It is a key step for boosting performance, consistency and customers’ happiness. ISO 9001:2015 was published in Sep 23, 2015 and it comprises of some new clauses as compared to ISO 9001:2008. 10 clauses of ISO 9001:2015 standard are based on PDCA i.e. Plan, Do, Check and Act strategy. Clauses 4, 5, 6 and 7 shows PLAN, clause 8 of ISO 9001:2015 reflects DO, clause 9 is for CHECK and clause 10 covers ACT. These changes are made to ensure ISO 9001 QMS aligns closely with the organization – strategically, tactically and operationally.

ISO 9001 documented information refers to meaningful information which needs to be controlled and maintained by the organization. It acts as a replacement for processes, records and other form of documentation in ISO 9001:2008. It is of two types:

• Documented information which will maintain processes, policies and so on; it was earlier called as documents in ISO 9001:2008.
• Documented information which will be retained. Earlier in ISO 9001:2008 it was known as ‘records’.

In short terms like documents, records or documented procedures are obsolete now as everything is covered under documented information.

Talking about ISO 9001:2015 requirements, there are two generic points which should be covered by each industry irrespective of size.

• Company needs to supply products or services, which should not only satisfy customers’ demand but also meet statutory and regulatory requirements.
• Company should focus only on enhancement of customers’ experience.

Apart from requirements there are in all 18 ISO 9001 mandatory records which a company should keep. These records are based on device calibration, training, products or services, design, development, property of customer, non-conforming output, audits, review of management, and corrective actions.
