Quality manual for ISO 9001:2015 – documentation Requirements
The ISO 9001:2015 is the newest edition of the ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems and quality assurance by the Organization for International Standards.
This publication aims to establish generic guidelines and requirements that can be applied by any organization, regardless of its type and size.
The ISO 9001
According to ISO, the 9001 standard can help organizations:
- to consistently provide products and services that meet customer expectations and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements (quality control), and
- to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of this management system, including processes for maintaining, improving, problem solving, and effective decision-making (quality assurance).
The ISO 9001 evolution
The ISO 9000 Standard was first published in 1987 and has gone through 5 revisions since then.
The main difference between the 2015 and the 2008 editions was the conceptualizing of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and Risk-based Thinking.
Furthermore, the re-organization of the Standard under the umbrella of the PDCA cycle, provided unambiguous structure which was also applied by all the standardized management systems: Environment, Food Safety, Occupational Health and Safety.
This structure is known as High Level Structure and is based on the same core elements, facilitating the navigation and realization of the rest of the standards in this family.
The ISO 9001:2008 Standard is no longer valid as of 23rd September 2018, and organizations are now to be certified with the latest edition of the Standard ISO 9001:2015.
