ISO introduced the first draft of the new standard in 2014 and complete standard was released in September 2015, which focuses more on documented information. The ISO 9001:2015 certification doesn't certify product(s) of the company; it only focuses on working methodology that forces an organization to establish quality management system.
ISO 9001:2015 is the fifth edition of ISO 9001 standard. It replaces the fourth edition (ISO 9001:2008), which was valid till January 2017. All organizations that were certified to ISO 9001:2008, need to upgrade their quality management system certification as per ISO 9001:2015, as soon as possible. ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system that can be used for internal application by organizations, or for certification, or for contractual purposes. ISO 9001 provides an organization with a set of principles that ensure focused, informed, scientific and proven approach to the management of business activities to consistently achieve customer satisfaction and continually improve operational effectiveness. It helps all kinds of organizations to succeed through improved customer satisfaction, staff motivation and continual improvement.
ISO 9001 is by far the world's most popular quality management system standard, and many organizations in 178 countries worldwide have implemented this standard. The ISO 9001:2015 provides organizations with a set of processes that ensure a common sense approach to the management of organization and establishes process approach. The quality management system should ensure consistency and improvement of working practices, which in turn provide products and services that meet customers' requirements. Now, ISO 9001:2015 is the most commonly used international standard that provides a framework for an effective quality management system.
