ViaSyst involvement in the ISO standardization work – Upcoming ISO 9000 meeting in the Azores

Dr Didier Blanc, founder and director of ViaSyst is intensively involved since 2001 as international expert in the ISO management system standardization work. It started with ISO 22000 in 2001, and then continued by initiating and drafting the first working draft of ISO 22003 in 2004, joining the ISO 9001 committee in 2007 and the CASCO for ISO 17021 in 2011.

This means that the core business of ViaSyst (i.e. managing a dematerialized audit reporting platform for management systems certification) is tightly linked to this in-depth knowledge and expertise of major certification standards – also, until 2014, as director of an accredited management systems CB.

The next ISO meeting to which ViaSyst will participate is the ISO TC 176 (technical committee in charge of the ISO 9000 family) in the Azores, from 19th to 23rd November 2018.

The major standard managed within this ISO TC is of course ISO 9001, which latest revision has been published 2015, 3 years ago. This means, it is now time to think and brainstorm about “Concept to be integrated in the future ISO 9001”

An ad hoc task force has been appointed on that for the upcoming meeting. Didier Blanc is part of those international experts, anticipating 5 to 8 years ahead of the next changes or improvements.

We will report on the outcome of these major works within the ViaSyst newsletter over December. So, don’t miss to follow our newsletter if you are concerned by these matters
