The Changes
- The current ISO 9000 family of Standards contains over 20 Standards and documents. The year 2000 ISO 9000 Quality Management Standards (QMS) on the other hand will have only three primary standards, which are :
- ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary
- ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems – Requirements
- ISO 9004 Quality Management Systems – Guidance for Performance Improvement
- The current ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 Standards will be consolidated into a single ISO 9001 Standards. A reduction of scope of the ISO 9001 requirements will be permitted to omit clauses that do not apply to a particular organization. In addition to the three core standards, ISO 10011, the auditing standard will be consolidated with the ISO 14010, ISO 14011 and ISO 14012 environmental auditing standards.
