Is not having a controlled copy of ISO 9001 standard a NonConformance?

Re: Not having an original copy of ISO 9001 standard, Is it a Non- Conformance?

I do believe that this is a very long stretch because, in the context of ISO 9001, statutory requirements relate to product.

If CB auditors were to turn into copyright patrol cops, what would stop them from delving into other issues, such as SOX compliance, American with disabilities Act, etc?

You have a point and the issue didn't rise to an NC. I wonder if it was the only one issued to justify his existence.

Friends,

Allow me to recap these 71 posts:

1. There is no requirement in ISO 9001:2000 stating that you must have a controlled copy of ISO 9001:2000. Thus the absence of such a document does not constitute a nonconformity.
2. Smart organizations would have such a document anyway.

I did want to say this has been an excellent thread. I have learned a lot from both sides, and I hope all have carried away some additional knowledge on this subject we did not have before.

Agree with Brad and Coury that this has been a great thread so far - valuable info from both sides and a great resource for learning.

Thanks to Suresh Kumar (Eternal Atlas) for bringing out this issue.

Btw, this is not a Vote of Thanks :mg: - let ideas keep flowing

Good summary, Stijloor!

To which I'd only add:
