It is emphasized that the requirements specified in this standard are complementary (not alternative)
to contractual and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Should there be a conflict
between the requirements of this standard and applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, the
latter shall take precedence.
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements, and
b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including
processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
NOTE 1 In this International Standard, the term “product” only applies to
a) product intended for, or required by, a customer,
b) any intended output resulting from the product realization processes.
NOTE 2 Statutory and regulatory requirements can be expressed as legal requirements.
1.2 Application
All requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to all
organizations, regardless of type, size and product provided.
Where any requirement(s) of this International Standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an
organization and its product, this can be considered for exclusion.
Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this International Standard are not acceptable unless
these exclusions are limited to requirements within Clause 7, and such exclusions do not affect the
organization\'s ability, or responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements.
