Emphasis on Risk – ISO 9001:2008 vs ISO 9001:2015

Did you know that the key words “risk” and “risk-based thinking” appear nearly 25 times more frequently in ISO 9001:2015 than in the ISO 9001:2008 standard? This shift in thinking does not replace the standard’s process-oriented approach, but enhances it.
