In September, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published ISO 9001:2015, the updated high-level system (HLS) quality management system standard that includes some fundamental changes in how organizations are expected to operate to remain in conformance.
The most noticeable change in the revised standard is that it follows the Annex SL structure that ISO management system standards are now required to adopt. ISO developed the 10-clause, high-level structure to ensure that management system standards are aligned with a set of common requirements.
