Compared with ISO9001:2008, the new version of the standard has undergone significant changes. In order to cooperate with the changes of ISO standards and ensure the smooth transition of the new version of the standard, IAF officially released the "ISO9001:2015 Version Conversion Implementation Guide" in January 2015.

The "ISO9001:2015 Edition Conversion Implementation Guide" briefly introduces the main changes of the new version of the standard, and puts forward relevant suggestions and guidance for organizations, certification bodies and accreditation bodies to respond to the changes in the standard.

The ISO14001 version has entered the final stage

The ISO14001 environmental management system standard has now entered the final draft version of the international standard (FDIS version) stage with an astonishing 92% pass rate in this round of voting at the end of 2014, which is also the last step before the official version of the ISO standard.

ISO14001 has now entered the final version of the international standard (FDIS draft) stage. This marks a review of all feedback received by experts revising the standard at the Tokyo meeting on February 2-7, 2015. The results will form the final draft and be voted on. Once the vote is passed, the standard will be officially released. The release of the new version is expected by the end of 2015.

ISO/TS16949 will be revised to keep pace with ISO9001

The International Automotive Task Force or International Automotive Action Team (IATF) announced on its website a few days ago that it has established a working group of IATF member organizations "to develop a revised design specification for ISO/TS 16949, in line with ISO 9001:2015 architecture and requirements”.

This is undoubtedly great news for automakers and their supply chains. The current Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) of ISO 9001:2015 is expected to be published in the next few months, while its final standard is currently expected to be published this autumn.

Corporate social responsibility standard SA8000: 2014 new version has been officially released

According to the plan, every five years, the SAI organization will revise the SA8000 standard to ensure its continuity and applicability. On December 12, 2001, SAI released the first revision of the SA8000 standard, namely SA8000:2001. In May 2008, it released the new standard SA8000:2008, the currently applicable third-party certification standard for social responsibility. In July 2014, SAI officially promulgated the SA8000:2014 standard.

Although the 2014 version of the standard has been officially released, currently SA8000:2008 is still the only standard applicable to certification. From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, this year will be the transition period of the SA8000 standard, and organizations can choose to use the SA8000:2008 version for certification, or the SA8000:2014 version for certification. From January 1, 2016, the only acceptable social responsibility certification standard will be unified as SA8000:2014 version. This means that since 2016, all old (2008) standards must be converted to the new (2014) version, otherwise the certificate will face the risk of invalidation.
