LRQA ISO Standards Updates: Making Sense of the Timelines
With the current revisions to the ISO Standards well underway, there are now clearly defined timelines currently in place relative to the revision of some the world’s leading management system standards. Given the complexity of the task and the numerous stakeholders involved, these dates are a testament to the commitment and focus of the various technical and working group committee members from around the world.
An International Standard is the result of an agreement between the member bodies of ISO. It may be used as such, or may be implemented through incorporation in national standards of different countries. International Standards are developed by ISO technical committees and subcommittees by a clearly defined process and all International Standards are reviewed at least every five years by all the ISO member bodies.
LRQA is involved in the major technical and working group committees managing the revision of these leading management system standards and Mike James, Managing Director of LRQA is also Chairman of the Independent International Organisation for Certification. Whilst the dates set out below are confirmed, there is the possibility that these may change due to external circumstances.
