The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has recently completed the second working draft (WD) of the revision of ISO 9002, marking a significant step in updating the standard. This revision is particularly important as it seeks to align ISO 9002 with contemporary quality management principles and practices already incorporated in ISO 9001, the globally recognised standard for quality management systems.
The second working draft reflects key changes in:
-
Requirement structuring – to facilitate easier implementation of the standard in line with ISO 9001.
-
Focus on risks and opportunities – enabling a more proactive approach to quality management.
-
Modernisation of terminology and definitions – ensuring consistency with the latest international practices.
For organisations and certification bodies such as ICS Sarajevo, monitoring these revisions is crucial. It allows timely preparation for adapting quality management systems and ensures continued compliance with international standards.
ICS Sarajevo closely follows all stages of ISO standard revisions and is ready to support its clients in adapting to and implementing the new requirements once the final version is publish
