Compared to the 2000 revision, ISO 9001:2008 represents fine-tuning, rather than a thorough overhaul. It introduces clarifications to the requirements existing in ISO 9001:2000, based on user experience over the last eight years, and changes that are intended to improve further compatibility with the ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental management systems.
Although there are no new requirements, the standard has changed in subtle yet important ways. Key benefits of the new ISO 9001:2008 standards include:
- Better clarity of existing requirements
- Increased compatibility with ISO 14001
- Better consistency with ISO 9000 family of standards
- Improved translation
