ISO 9001:2008 Transition Kit

Every five to seven years the ISO committee revises the ISO 9001 standard. The current version is ISO 9001:2008 which was released November, 2008. All ISO 9001 certified organizations must upgrade their certification within 24 months which requires updates to your current quality management system. The ISO 9001:2008 Transition Kit from 9000World simplifies this process by laying out step-by-step changes you need to make to your documentation.

This 2008 release is technically an amendment rather than a revision to the standard which means that its scope is limited to clarification of requirements and better alignment with ISO 14001 and other related standards. However, these clarifications may reveal certain changes in your quality manual, internal audit, procedures and other documentation that will be needed in order to successfully pass the ISO 9001:2008 audit from your registrar. The ISO 9001:2008 Transition Kit helps you quickly and efficiently make the changes that will be needed.

All changes in the ISO 9001:2008 standard are clearly identified to help you quickly learn what's new.

Determine changes you may need to make to your ISO 9001:2008 quality manual.

Ensure that your organization fully meets the ISO 9001:2008 requirements through the use of a comprehensive Internal Audit Checklist newly updated to meet the new standard.

These worksheets break down the ISO 9001:2008 requirements into questions, based on processes and requirements that should be established, and help you identify the key responsibilities that should be assigned.

A Free Consultant Help Line staffed by experienced ISO consultants is also available if you need some advice for the best way to upgrade your quality system to meet ISO 9001:2008 requirements or just for some confirmation that you're on the right path.
