Transitioning to ISO 9001:2008

• ISO 9001:2008 has been ratified by all 62 member countries and will be published this month. Compared to the year 2000 revision, ISO 9001:2008 is considered to be an amendment rather than a thorough revision to ISO 9001:2000.
• ISO 9001:2008 introduces clarifications to the existing requirements in ISO 9001:2000, based on user experience over the last eight years. Of most importance to organizations certified to ISO 9001:2000 is that the 2008 amendment does not introduce additional requirements, nor does it change the intent of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.
• Topics of the presentation include: Reason and Scope of the Amendment, User Feedback as a Source for Amendment, Review of Key Changes and Transitioning to ISO 9001:2008
