The results of the ISO Technical Committee Internal Ballot on options for the future of ISO 9001 have been made available.
The ballot has returned the following voting results:
Option a): 36
Option b): 25
Abstention: 17
The results of voting indicate a simple majority of P-members in favour of option a) “Start a revision
with the scope aligned to the draft design specification”.
The next steps are:
1. establish a new WG group for the revision of ISO 9001 and appoint a Convenor/project leader. A
call for nominations for the Convenor/project leader role will be initiated on the ISO balloting portal in
the next few days.
2. circulate the draft design specification to SC 2 members for comments. The received comments
will be passed on to a new WG for the revision of ISO 9001 for discussion at its first meeting.
Further information will be available from SABS Standards SABS/ISO/TC176 as the process develops.
