What does my organization need to do if it is currently registered to ISO 9002:1994 or ISO 9003:1994?
Now that ISO 9001:2000 is published, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 have become obsolete. You need to evaluate which specific requirements of ISO 9001:2000 are applicable to the nature of your business and the extent to which your present QMS meets those requirements. Provisions have been made to exclude non-applicable requirements within Section 7 of the standard through clause 1.2 Application . If, for example, the nature of your products does not require you to perform design activities or if your product is provided on the basis of established design, you will need to discuss and justify the exclusion of these requirements with your certification/registration body.
