ISO 9001:2015
ISO 9001:2015 is the most recent version of the ISO 9001 Standard. It was officially published and released on September 15, 2015, and includes major revisions and minor clarifications of requirements that improve the standard’s consistency. Most of the revised requirements are still applicable to all organizations regardless of size, type and product. ISO 9001:2015 still drives continual and consistent development of product to meet and enhance customer satisfaction by conforming to quality standards. ISO 9001:2015 certification also still allows an organization that does not perform design and development to receive certification body exclusion if they are pursuing ISO 9000 certification.
