Abstract
This year, four major, high-impact standards are at some stage of being reviewed and revised. They are: ISO 9001—Quality management systems—requirements; ISO 9000—Quality management systems— fundamentals and vocabulary; ISO 19011—Guidelines for auditing management systems; and ISO 14001—Environmental management systems—requirements with guidance for use. Each standard follows a structured process of review and development. Experts weighed in on where things stand on each respective standard revision process.
