Overview: At the July ISO Technical Committee, the Draft International Standards (DIS) of ISO 9000, 9001 and 9004 were approved, thus moving the documents to the FDIS (Final Draft Internal Standard) phase. This means that the three revised standards are now undergoing the final round of their revision process. The revision process demands many hours of work by quality professionals from around the world. While several modifications to the DIS have been made, most are title changes, clarifications, or other editorial changes. The result of these considerations gave way to a new format for the ISO 9001 standard that addresses the basics of a unified process approach by categorizing the organization's activities into five sections. These five sections emphasize the new process approach as follows: Quality management system, management responsibility, resource management, product realization, measurement, analysis, and improvement. Thus, careful planning and successful execution will be critical in achieving compliance to the new requirements as well as positioning the organization for continual improvement.
