EVENT DETAILS
ISO 9001-2015: Don’t Be Late in 2018
The deadline for certification to the ISO 9001-2015 standard is one year away, but it may be approaching faster than you think. With the prospect of registrars being spread thin, it could be a challenge to bring your QMS up to standard, generate sufficient objective evidence, perform an internal audit and management review, and schedule the registrar for the Phase 1 and Phase 2 audits. Depending upon the availability of your internal resources, their competence, and the complexity of your QMS, this could take between four to eight months. To help with this, we will provide some insight into the ISO 9001-2015 standard and some basic tools to help fill the gaps between it and its predecessor. If you are currently underway, this may help you identify any potential issues you may encounter with an upcoming registration audit.
