32nd ANNUAL ISO 9000 & AUDITS WORLD CONFERENCE
The World’s Leading Conference on ISO 9000 & Audits
ABSTRACT

Climate Change & ISO 9001

Industry: All Industries

Keywords: Climate Change, ISO TC 176, International Accreditation Forum (IAF)

Level: Advanced


For the first time, an amendment is being issued for all management system standards. This amendment will include two changes in clause 4.1 Context of the organization and 4.2 Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties. ISO Central Secretariat, the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and ISO Technical Committee 176 will provide guidance on how this amendment will be deployed and requirements that are currently certified to transition to the new requirements. While these requirements are new to ISO 9001, many organizations implement or have practices in place that meet the intent of sustainment.

This networking session will be an open dialogue of how to meet the intent of the requirement within the practices currently in place in your organization. Discussion about what organizations need to do to demonstrate conformity to certification bodies will also be discussed.
