Client note: In support of the ISO London Declaration on Climate Change, ISO passed a resolution last year that has resulted in two new statements of text being added to a number of existing management systems standards (MSS), and will be included in all new standards under development/revision, to address the need to consider the effect of Climate Change on the ability to achieve the intended results of the management system.

It includes a revised clause sequence, revised quality management principles, new concepts and the greater alignment of structure, content and terminology for all management system standards.

BS EN ISO 9001 on quality management systems has lost none of the rigor of earlier versions but cuts bureaucracy by being less prescriptive and focusing more on the context of each organization. It guides organizations to build a quality management system suited to specific organizational needs without imposing irrelevant paperwork or requirements which add no value.
