ISO has been very clear about the form ISO 9001:2008 will take - it will contain no new requirements, making it an 'amendment' rather than a 'revision'. However, according to Chris Cox, who has been involved with ISO TC/176 as a principal expert since 1995 and is a member of the CQI Standards Development Group, 'many comments were received at the draft stage, urging a more detailed change to the standard'.
The committee kept changes to clarifications deemed necessary as a result of the comments received and to increase compatibility with ISO 14001 and the soon-to-be-revised ISO 9004. 'Comments rejected because they call for a major revision have been archived for review at the next full revision,' explains Chris.
