Why Should Organization Consult ISO 9000:2015 Standard?
=============
ISO 9000:2015, Quality management systems - Fundamentals and vocabulary is an standard that was developed by ISO/TC 176.
ISO 9000:2015 standard describes the fundamental concepts and principles of quality management. It also provides the terms (and their associated definitions) that are applicable to all the quality management and quality management system standards developed by the ISO technical committee ISO/TC 176.
It is essential that users of ISO 9001 have an understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles given in ISO 9000 before seeking to apply ISO 9001:2015 QMS standard.
In addition, users need to be aware that there are many words and terms used in ISO 9001 which may seem familiar in your day-to-day language, but which have a very specific technical meaning in the standard; these have been formally defined in Clause 3 of ISO 9000:2015 standard.
Further, there are several words and terms used in ISO 9001 for which a formal definition has not been created, but for which a specific dictionary definition has been applied. A Glossary of these terms has been created to assist users.
The fundamental concepts and principles of quality management are universally applicable to the following:
- Organizations seeking sustained success through the implementation of a quality management system;
- Customers seeking confidence in an organization's ability to consistently provide products and services conforming to their requirements;
- Organizations seeking confidence in their supply chain that their product and service requirements will be met;
- Organizations and interested parties seeking to improve communication through a common understanding of the vocabulary used in quality management;
- Organizations performing conformity assessments against the requirements of ISO 9001;
- Providers of training, assessment or advice in quality management;
- Developers of related standards.
Hence, the organizations implementing ISO 9001:2015 QMS standard must consult and refer to ISO 9000:2015 standard alongwith ISO 9001:2015 QMS standard so as to understand the right meaning and intention of the standard requirements.
