Changes to Clauses 0.1 Introduction A complete re-write of the bit on “risk-based thinking“; ISO appears to have taken my advice and stopped pretending RBT was part of the process approach. This section frustratingly continues the nearly-criminal insistence that RBT = preventive action. Anyone who has worked five minutes in a real QMS knows this is untrue. The new paragraph also conflates risks and opportunities; a new paragraph tries to explain “ opportunities,” but it’s still called “risk-based thinking,” so it implies that opportunities are some form of risk. Keep this in mind because it comes up again later in Annex A. Despite inventing “opportunity-based thinking” this time around, it’s worth noting that no one added this to clause 0.1. So one and doesn’t know what the other is doing. Thankfully, the user’s “Bill of Rights” remains untouched. This is the paragraph that starts with “it is not the intent of this document...” and it is an invaluable tool for users who are harassed by uninformed auditors. 0.2 Quality Management PRinciples No changes. 0.3 Quality Management Principles No changes from ISO 9001:2015. 0.4 Process Approach Moves text around. Risk-based thinking is no longer presented as a subset of the process approach. In fact, it’s kicked out of clause zero entirely. But the text just a page before it, in 0.1, insists risk-based thinking is a part of the process approach. So, the edits to 0.4 should have triggered corresponding edits to 0.1, but did not. The two sections contradict each other. Once again, nobody is editing this thing. 1.0 Scope No changes. 2.0 Normative references No changes; still only references ISO 9000.
