Introduction
The Standard ISO 9001:2015 prepared by the International Organization for Standardization (International Standardization Organization or ISO), determines the requirements for a Quality Management System, which can be used for internal application by organizations, regardless of whether the product and/or service is provided by a public organization or private company, regardless of its branch, for certification or for contractual purposes.
The International Organization for Standardization is an independent, non-governmental body that currently brings together more than one million companies and organizations in more than 170 member countries around the world. This organization was created after World War II after delegates from 25 countries met in England to coordinate and unify world standards in February 1947.
Depending on the country, the same standard may be called "ISO 9001" in a different way, adding the name of the organization that represents it within the country: UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2015 (Spain), IRAM-ISO 9001:2015 (Argentina), NTC-ISO 9001:2015 (Colombia), etc., accompanied by the year of the last update of the standard.
• - ISO 9001, contains the requirements of the management model;
• - ISO 9004, contains the old ISO 9001, and also expands each of the points with more explanations and cases, and invites implementers to go beyond the requirements with new ideas, which aims at system efficiency;
• - ISO 19011, in its new version 2015: details the requirements for conducting audits of a management system, including audit principles, management of an audit program and performance of management system audits, as well as guidance on assessing the competence of people participating in the audit process. This applies to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and IATF 16949 standards, among many others.
