The audit process iso 9001: 2015 Certification,  What,Normative of ISO 9000:2015  Anyway?

In a recent conversation about ISO 9000:2015 as a fundamental companion to ISO 9001:2015, my mind wandered back to friendly arguments in college about the meaning of life, trees falling in deep woods, and my roommate’s business-minded reply to the great poultry debate. It went something like this:

“Of course, there’s always the question about the chicken and the egg. Although it might be fun, I wouldn’t spend a lot of time arguing either side. Regardless of which came first, I’d prefer an interesting conversation regarding the value of each. You know, even if only singing the praises of their respective contributions to breakfast and dinner, at least they’re proven to be relevant in our daily lives.”

“At least they are relevant in our daily lives.” Yes, in the end it’s all about value and relevance. The ISO 9001 quality management system (QMS) standard is of greater value and relevance when the user incorporates ISO 9000—when the user has a true understanding of the terms and concepts in ISO 9000.

The same is true when the user incorporates ISO 9004, but that’s the subject of another article. But the Draft International Standard (DIS) version of ISO 9001:2015 goes further than relevance and value by stating in clause 2 that ISO 9000:2015 is its “normative reference.” But this is nothing new. Each revision of ISO 9001 has consistently cited ISO 9000 as normative.

So, what is a normative reference? I believe that most within the ISO user community simply don’t know the answer. The common misinterpretation is stated as, “Normative means that the standard writers used it when they developed the standard.” This was certainly true during the development of ISO 9001:2015, but is far from the definition of normative.  Nor is, “As a normative reference, ISO 9000:2015 helps the user understand the normal definitions of certain words and concepts.” Let’s award partial credit for this statement, but we’re still far from the full meaning of normative.

Definition

ISO/IEC Directives, Part two, Section 6.2.2, defines the inclusion of a normative reference as, “This conditional element shall give a list of the referenced documents… in such a way as to make them indispensable for the application of the document.” In other words, by citing ISO 9000:2015 as a normative reference, it is therefore considered as indispensable to the application of ISO 9001.

If you were to right-click on the word “indispensable” and scroll down to synonyms, the following words appear: “crucial,” “vital,” “essential,” “necessary,” “requisite,” “obligatory,” “central,” and “very important.” If all these are actually relevant, there must be value to including ISO 9000:2015 when developing or revising your ISO 9001:2015 QMS. This is especially true in light of changes in the 2015 revision of ISO 9001.

New terminology

There are numerous terms that are new to the language of ISO 9001:2015. “Context of the organization,” “documented information,” “interested parties,” “risk-based approach,” and the differences between terms such as “output,” “outcome,” and “result” are only a few. There are many more, and to not understand what these terms and phrases represent is an open invitation for confusion and unresolved discussions both within your company and during your second- and third-party audits. Neither is productive.
