來自ISO官方網(wǎng)站2005年10月17日消息，ISO 9000族標準的新版本已經(jīng)出版，該版本定義了質量管理體系的術語并描述了它的基礎。

ISO 9000:2005《質量管理體系 基礎和術語》中質量管理體系(QMS)基礎的描述無變化, 與2000出版的前一個版本一樣。但是考慮到ISO 9000族標準增加了許多新文件，并且ISO 9000族標準是按照術語排列的，所以增加和擴展了一些定義和注釋。舉例如下：技術專家，要求，能力，合同，審核員，審核組，審核計劃和審計范圍。

負責ISO 9000族標準的是ISO/TC 176/SC1質量管理和質量保證技術委員會概念和術語分委會，該分委會主席Youssef El Gamal解釋說：“出臺新版標準的主要原因是為不同管理體系標準中使用關鍵字提供唯一的明確的定義, 尤其是ISO 9001:2000《質量管理體系 要求》和ISO 19011:2002《質量和(或)環(huán)境管理體系審核指南》�！�

修訂的ISO 9000族標準也考慮到ISO和IEC（國際電工委員會）兼容的可靠性。

為了反映這些變化，ISO 9000族標準的2005版本中增加了許多圖表。

ISO 9000:2005對ISO 9000族標準的所有使用者都非常有用，尤其是以下人員：

·         供方、顧客和專家，為他們對提供質量管理術語的常規(guī)解釋；

·         評定質量管理體系的人或按照ISO 9001:2000進行審核的人，如認證機構的內(nèi)審員、外審員和專家；

·         質量管理體系的顧問和培訓教員。

ISO 9000:2005《質量管理體系 基礎和術語》售價118瑞士法郎，各國ISO成員單位 (見通訊錄) 和ISO中央秘書處(見下)有售。該標準由ISO/TC 176/SC1質量管理和質量保證技術委員會概念和術語分委會制訂。

17 October 2005

ISO has published a new edition of the standard in the ISO 9000 family that defines the vocabulary and describes the fundamentals of quality management systems.

ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary, introduces no changes to the descriptions of the fundamentals of quality management systems (QMS), as presented in the previous edition published in 2000. However, some definitions have been added and explanatory notes expanded or added to take account of more recent documents in the ISO 9000 family and to align ISO 9000 with these. Examples include the following: technical expert, requirement, competence, contract, auditor, audit team, audit plan and audit scope.

Youssef El Gamal, Chair of Subcommittee 1, Concepts and terminology, of ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance, which is responsible for ISO 9000, explained: “The primary reason for this new edition is to provide a single unambiguous meaning of key words used in various management systems standards, in particular, ISO 9001:2000, Quality management systems – Requirements and ISO 19011:2002, Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing.”

The revised ISO 9000 also takes account of joint work by ISO and the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) on dependability.

To reflect these changes, a number of the diagrams appearing in ISO 9000 have been enhanced for the 2005 version.

ISO 9000:2005 will be useful for all users of standards in the ISO 9000 family, in particular for the following:

· suppliers, customers and regulators in providing them with a common understanding of the terminology of quality management,

·  people who assess QMS, or audit them for conformity to ISO 9001:2000 – such as internal auditors, external auditors of certification bodies, and regulators, and

·  providers of consultancy or training on QMS.

ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary, costs 118 Swiss francs and is available from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details) and from ISO Central Secretariat (see below). It was developed by Subcommittee 1, Concepts and terminology, of ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance.
