CPD Day ISO 9001:2015 vs 2008 – What has changed?

In July and October, we will be running a CPD day to look at what has changed recently in ISO 9001. This is a good opportunity for auditors, quality professionals and senior managers to refresh their knowledge and gain an appreciation of the key changes in ISO 9001:2015 vs 2008.

Whilst all ISO standards are revised regularly to keep up to date with the marketplace, the new high level structure (HLS, based on Annex SL) is designed to ensure a common framework for all ISO management systems. The changes in the new ISO 9001:2015 go further than structure, however, providing a significant focus on risk based thinking, the role of leadership and consideration of the context of the organisation.

By the end of the day, you will:

• Understand the new ‘HLS’ structure of ISO 9001:2015
• Appreciate how clauses are arranged around the Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) framework
• Understand the importance of engaging senior managers in the Audit
• Be aware of the need to look for an embedded Risk Management approach
• Fully appreciate the requirement to set the management system within the internal and external context
• Be aware of the transitional timings for the introduction of ISO9001: 2015
