ISO 9001 is the world's best-known standard, with more than a million companies certified. Now the grande dame of management systems is being revised. The SNV organised an information event on 8 March to provide more details. With around 150 participants, demand was high. Thomas Krähenmann, head of the Quality Management & Quality Assurance Standards Committee, talked about the next planned steps and explained why active participation in the revision is worthwhile. Changes to the ISO 14001 environmental management standard were also discussed and explained by René Wasmer, head of the Environment & Sustainability Standards Committee.
The revision of ISO 9001:2015 began in December 2023 with the establishment of an ISO working group. This is now made up of around 150 people. These include country representatives from almost all standards organizations – so-called member bodies. The working group is led by experts from the USA, Latin America and Namibia. The working group meets regularly, usually virtually, to discuss, comment on, edit and vote on proposed changes.
At Swiss level, the INB/NK 140 Quality Management & Quality Assurance standards committee, chaired by Thomas Krähenmann, is tasked with receiving comments and opinions on the revision and passing them on to the ISO working group. This ensures that the interests of the Swiss economy and society are included in the revision process. The committee is always on the lookout for new members.
