ISO 9000:2005
– Fundamentals and vocabulary
ISO 9000:2005 only introduces clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2008 and some changes intended to improve consistency with ISO 14001:2004. There are no new requirements.
ISO 9000:2005 Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary
makes no changes to the basic principles of quality management
stated in ISO 9000:2005.
For example: both ISO 9000:2005 and ISO 9001:2008 define a procedure as a specified
way to carry out a task which does not necessarily have to be documented
and that generating documentation should not be an end in itself.
ISO 9001:2008 - What's New?
ISO 9001:2008 is essentially a tidying-up exercise to ensure
consistency within ISO Standards. 15
definitions and explanatory notes have been added or expanded to align ISO 9000
with more recent ISO Standards:
ISO 9001:2008 adds “business environment” to the list of factors that influence the design and implementation of a quality management system. The other changes to this text are minor revisions to the other factors, as well as, the use of a bulleted list. The design and implementation of an organization's quality management system is influenced by - its business environment, changes in that environment, or risks associated with that environment, - its varying needs, - its particular objectives, - the products it provides provided, - the processes it employs employed, and - its the size and organizational structure of the organization. Later in section 0.1, ISO 9001:2008 changes "regulatory" to "statutory and regulatory” and clarifies that the customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements are those applicable to the product. This International Standard can be used by internal and external parties, including certification bodies, to assess the organization's ability to meet customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements applicable to the product, and the organization's own requirements.

What Do I Need To Do?

real impact on your quality system.
If your documentation refers to any ISO 9000:2005 or ISO 9001:2008 terminology you should revise as necessary on ensure consistency with
the new 2008 terminology.
