Call for Feedback ISO 9001 Committee Draft
- The next revision to ISO 9001, currently planned for 2015, has reached the committee draft (CD) stage in the international standards development process.
- The United States Technical Advisory Group to ISO TC176, the group responsible for developing consensus positions on ISO 9001.
- Is currently collecting additional feedback from stakeholders as it continues its work on a national view.
- Please note that the committee draft is still an early stage in the development process, not a mature stage for public enquiry. Therefore, all comments will be collected, evaluated, and submitted under Technical Advisory Group 176.
- General comments are sought on the following issues:
- After reviewing ISO/CD 9001 (document SC2/N1147), do you agree that the concept of “Exclusions” (e.g., see ISO 9001:2008, clause 1.2) is now redundant, and that requirements for this no longer need to be maintained in the next edition of ISO 9001?
- After reviewing ISO/CD 9001 (document SC2/N1147), do you agree that the next edition of ISO 9001 should use the term “goods and services” instead of the term “product”?
- After reviewing ISO/CD 9001 (document SC2/N1147), do you agree that the next edition of ISO 9001 should use the term “improvement” instead of the term “continual improvement”?
- See web site to get draft and instructions on submitting comments
- Provide your comments no later than July 21, 2013.
