The new ISO 9001:2015 is meant to:

  • Provide a stable requirements framework for the next ten years.
  • Address recent changes in quality management practice, in technology and in the increasingly complex and dynamic work environment to improve practical relevance.
  • Be sufficiently generic, yet remain relevant to all types and sizes of organizations, regardless of their industry or sector.
  • Maintain the present focus on an effective process management.
  • Apply the "high level structure" (uniform structure, core texts and definitions) to ensure structural compatibility with other management standards, such as the environmental management standard ISO 14001 and the energy management standard ISO 50001.
  • Simplify the implementation in organizations and the conformity assessment.
  • Simplify phrasing to ensure identical understanding and consistent interpretation of the requirements.
