IS YOUR BUSINESS READY FOR THE MANDATORY REVISED ISO STANDARD?

IF NOT, GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE!

      For the first time in 15 years, the ISO 9001 Standard has significantly been revised!

Revised ISO Standards Workshop -- October 13, 2014, Fargo ND

ISO 9001 is Quality Management System that many businesses use as the foundation upon which they add their unique industry requirements. Many firms in North Dakota are already ISO Certified, and many more will need to become certified as their customers request it from them.

ISO 9001 is subject to periodic review (every 5 years). The upcoming revision is significant, and all current and new ISO Certified companies, in all industries, will need to move to this new standard.  The 2015 revision of ISO 9001 represents a major shift in both format and content. The Dakota MEP will be hosting a workshop for those currently registered to the ISO 9001 standard and those interested in perusing registration in the future.

Topics covered in the workshop will be:

• The 15 most significant changes in the new revisionand what you need to consider as your organization begins the process of transitioning to its requirements
