Overview: One of the main problems with the 1994 version of ISO was that it left the door open to confusion between ends and means, and could therefore lead to an unwanted degree of variability in understanding the minimum requirement threshold. The 1994 version was criticized among other things for putting too much stress on documentation and records and not enough on ultimate purpose. To counteract this, the new standard places far more emphasis on processes and results. Therefore, one of the first issues that a company must now address is to identify the processes needed for the quality management system clause 4.1, ISO 9001:2000).
