Re: The Next version of ISO 9001 - Any news?
Looks like ISO (although ISO 9001 certified) don't follow their own established processes:
If they allowed the delay of a standard publication, due to a single country objection, certainly people would hijack the process....
but even that may be delayed as one country has an objection in.
The final phase comprises the formal approval of the resulting draft International Standard (the acceptance criteria stipulate approval by two-thirds of the ISO members that have participated actively in the standards development process, and approval by 75% of all members that vote), following which the agreed text is published as an ISO International Standard.
