The latest edition of the ISO 9001 standard ISO 9001: 2008, Quality Management Systems Requirements, was officially published by (ISO) the International Organization for Standardization on November 14, 2008. It is the fourth edition of the ISO 9001 standard since it was first published in 1987.
ISO 9001:2008 is a standard that provides a generic set of requirements for organizations wishing to develop a quality management system (QMS). The ISO 9001:2008 standard focuses on improving an organizations business processes. It does not specify any requirements for product or service quality. Customers typically set product and service quality requirements. However, the expectation is that an organization with an effective ISO 9001 based QMS will indeed improve its ability to meet customer, statutory and regulatory requirements.
