How will the new standard affect my organization and its current quality management system?
It is not the intent to change the structure of your current system; however, the revised standards will include some new requirements. If the current quality management system is successfully implemented, satisfies the needs and objectives of the organization, and reflects the way the organization works, there should be no need for complete re-writing of documentation. Some adjustments will have to be made to incorporate the new requirements and a mapping of requirements from your system to the standard is recommended.
