6.0 SUMMARISED COMPARISON OF KEY ENHANCEMENTS BETWEEN ISO 9001:1994 / ISO 9001:2000

A comparison between ISO 9001:1994 and ISO 9001:2000 related to key enhancements is given in chapter 6.3 The Comparison Guidance Matrix has been developed to assist the user identify in identifying the scope of revisions to ISO 9001:2000. It is important to note that thise comparison matrix is not done a "word byfor word" ", it comparison of requirements and only contains a summary of salient issues relevant to ISO 9001:2000 in consideration of current ISO 9001:1994 requirements.

It is strongly recommended that the user obtain a copy of latest draft of ISO 9001:2000 from their respective ISO member body.

6.1 REQUIREMENTS CORRELATION TABLE BETWEEN ISO 9001:2000 AND
ISO 9001:1994

In the following table, the numbers in brackets show briefly how the quality system requirements of ISO 9001:1994 fit into the new ISO 9001:2000, clauses 5 to 8.

It should be noted that although some clauses in ISO 9001:2000 have the same title as in ISO 9001:1994, the contents may not be exactly the same and the requirements may have been enhanced.

 6.2 PERMISSIBLE EXCLUSIONS

Currently an organization is able to seek certification against either ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994 dependent on the scope of their business operations.

The publication of ISO 9001:2000 will result in ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994 becoming obsolete, and will require all organizations to upgrade their certification to ISO 9001:2000.

However, it is recognized that owing to:

the nature of an organization's product;

customer requirements;

applicable regulatory requirements;

not all the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 may be appropriate to every organization.

Therefore ISO 9001:2000 will permit organizations to exclude compliance with specific quality management system requirements that neither affect their ability, nor absolve them from their responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements, yet still allow those organizations to claim conformity to the standard.

Permissible exclusions will be restricted to clause 7 Product realization of ISO 9001:2000 and will not apply to any other clauses of the standard.

It is recommended that users discuss any intention to exclude certain clauses of ISO 9001:2000 with their selected Certification/Registration Body (see annex A, item 5).
