Abstract: Organizations concerned that the ISO 9000:2008 amendment will present the difficulties encountered in transitioning to ISO 9000:2000 can rest easy. First of all, it is an amendment rather than a revision, and it offers an opportunity to improve the quality management system through better understanding. There will be no major text changes as with previous revisions, and because it is important for users to identify changes quickly, the standard offers Annex B, which outlines the text changes that have been made to specific clauses. The International Accreditation Forum has published a transition plan for ISO 9000:2008 to prevent registrars from issuing certificates without an audit to confirm that requirements have been met. A sidebar article explains the basic steps of making the transition.
