The 9001:2008 standard have been developed from the Quality Management Plans and the chart below shows how the changes between 1994 and 2000 move the standard closer to the requirements of the QMPs. Quality under ISO: 9000 will not give company the more of the best product producer. But what it will give to the company is a more consistent product and a system of operation that is totally oriented to the customer's needs.
OHSAS 18001 is also compatible with the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system and ISO 14001:2004 environmental management system standards, in order to facilitate the integration of quality.
