Re: ISO 9001:2008 What’s new - what will stay the same?
Hi Sidney,
Is it fair to say that we're really talking here about an "edit" of the wording in ISO 9001:2000? From carefully reading CD1, I gathered that the intent of each of the clauses did not change. Am I correct? No need to get nervous!

That is debatable
.For those of us who got a copy of the CD1 document and read it, we would be hard pressed to categorize the modifications as changes. They are primarily re-wording, re-phrasing of existing text. I would venture to say that most organizations which are presently compliant to ISO 9001, could totally disregard the discussions preceding the release of the 4th Edition of ISO 9001, and still comply with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 on November 1st, 2008. I mean, in practical terms, they do not need to change a thing in their QMS, to comply with the "new"(?) version.
