Understanding ISO 9001:2015

The Evolution of ISO 9001 Standard

The ISO 9001 standard was first introduced in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It has gone through several revisions (1994, 2000, 2008, and 2015) to meet the growing needs of modern businesses. The 2015 version introduced risk-based thinking, improved process integration, and placed greater focus on leadership and customer satisfaction. With a new revision currently being drafted and expected in September 2026, ISO 9001 continues to adapt to emerging challenges and ensure its relevance in a rapidly changing business landscape.

Key Principles of ISO 9001:2015

The standard is built around seven core principles:

  1. Customer focus
  2. Leadership
  3. Engagement of people
  4. Process approach

  7. Relationship management

These principles ensure that every process within an organization contributes toward delivering consistent quality.
