What does my organization need to do if it is registered to ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003:1994?
ISO 9001:2000 superseded ISO 9001, 2 and 3 as of December 15th, 2003, and registrations to the 1994 versions of ISO 9001, ISO 9002, and ISO 9003 are no longer valid. You will 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 quality management system (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.
