Introduction
This International Standard provides the fundamental concepts, principles and vocabulary for quality
management systems (QMS) and provides the foundation for other QMS standards. This International
Standard is intended to help the user to understand the fundamental concepts, principles and
vocabulary of quality management, in order to be able to effectively and efficiently implement a QMS
and realize value from other QMS standards.
This International Standard proposes a well-defined QMS, based on a framework that integrates
established fundamental concepts, principles, processes and resources related to quality, in order
to help organizations realize their objectives. It is applicable to all organizations, regardless of size,
complexity or business model. Its aim is to increase an organization’s awareness of its duties and
commitment in fulfilling the needs and expectations of its customers and interested parties, and in
achieving satisfaction with its products and services.
This International Standard contains seven quality management principles supporting the fundamental
concepts described in 2.2. In 2.3, for each quality management principle, there is a “statement”
describing each principle, a “rationale” explaining why the organization would address the principle,
“key benefits” that are attributed to the principles, and “possible actions” that an organization can take
in applying the principle.
This International Standard contains the terms and definitions that apply to all quality management
and QMS standards developed by ISO/TC 176, and other sector-specific QMS standards based on those
standards, at the time of publication. The terms and definitions are arranged in conceptual order, with
an alphabetical index provided at the end of the document. Annex A includes a set of diagrams of the
concept systems that form the concept ordering.
NOTE Guidance on some additional frequently-used words in the QMS standards developed by ISO/TC 176,
and which have an identified dictionary meaning, is provided in a glossary available at: http://www.iso.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9000:2015(E)
Quality management systems — Fundamentals and
vocabulary
1 Scope
This International Standard describes the fundamental concepts and principles of quality management
which are universally applicable to the following:
— organizations seeking sustained success through the implementation of a quality management system;
— customers seeking confidence in an organization’s ability to consistently provide products and
services conforming to their requirements;
— organizations seeking confidence in their supply chain that product and service requirements will
be met;
— organizations and interested parties seeking to improve communication through a common
understanding of the vocabulary used in quality management;
— organizations performing conformity assessments against the requirements of ISO 9001;
— providers of training, assessment or advice in quality management;
— developers of related standards.
This International Standard specifies the terms and definitions that apply to all quality management
and quality management system standards developed by ISO/TC 176.
2 Fundamental concepts and quality management principles
2.1 General
The quality management concepts and principles described in this International Standard give
the organization the capacity to meet challenges presented by an environment that is profoundly
different from recent decades. The context in which an organization works today is characterized by
accelerated change, globalization of markets and the emergence of knowledge as a principal resource.
The impact of quality extends beyond customer satisfaction: it can also have a direct impact on the
organization’s reputation.
Society has become better educated and more demanding, making interested parties increasingly
more influential. By providing fundamental concepts and principles to be used in the development of
a quality management system (QMS), this International Standard provides a way of thinking about the
organization more broadly.
All concepts, principles and their interrelationships should be seen as a whole and not in isolation of
each other. No individual concept or principle is more important than another. At any one time, finding
the right balance in application is critical.

2.2 Fundamental concepts
2.2.1 Quality
An organization focused on quality promotes a culture that results in the behaviour, attitudes, activities
and processes that deliver value through fulfilling the needs and expectations of customers and other
relevant interested parties.
The quality of an organization’s products and services is determined by the ability to satisfy customers
and the intended and unintended impact on relevant interested parties.
The quality of products and services includes not only their intended function and performance, but
also their perceived value and benefit to the customer.
2.2.2 Quality management system
A QMS comprises activities by which the organization identifies its objectives and determines the
processes and resources required to achieve desired results.
The QMS manages the interacting processes and resources required to provide value and realize results
for relevant interested parties.
The QMS enables top management to optimize the use of resources considering the long and short term
consequences of their decision.
A QMS provides the means to identify actions to address intended and unintended consequences in
providing products and services.
2.2.3 Context of an organization
Understanding the context of the organization is a process. This process determines factors which
influence the organization’s purpose, objectives and sustainability. It considers internal factors such as
values, culture, knowledge and performance of the organization. It also considers external factors such
as legal, technological, competitive, market, cultural, social and economic environments.
Examples of the ways in which an organization’s purpose can be expressed include its vision, mission,
policies and objectives.
2.2.4 Interested parties
The concept of interested parties extends beyond a focus solely on the customer. It is important to
consider all relevant interested parties.
Part of the process for understanding the context of the organization is to identify its interested parties.
The relevant interested parties are those that provide significant risk to organizational sustainability if
their needs and expectations are not met. Organizations define what results are necessary to deliver to
those relevant interested parties to reduce that risk.
Organizations attract, capture and retain the support of the relevant interested parties they depend
upon for their success.
2.2.5 Support
2.2.5.1 General
Top management support of the QMS and engagement of people enables:
— provision of adequate human and other resources;
— monitoring processes and results;
2 © ISO 2015 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 9000:2015
ISO 9000:2015(E)

— determining and evaluating of risks and opportunities;
— implementing appropriate actions.
Responsible acquisition, deployment, maintenance, enhancement and disposal of resources support the
organization in achieving its objectives.
2.2.5.2 People
People are essential resources within the organization. The performance of the organization is
dependent upon how people behave within the system in which they work.
Within an organization, people become engaged and aligned through a common understanding of the
quality policy and the organization’s desired results.
2.2.5.3 Competence
A QMS is most effective when all employees understand and apply the skills, training, education and
experience needed to perform their roles and responsibilities. It is the responsibility of top management
to provide opportunities for people to develop these necessary competencies.
2.2.5.4 Awareness
Awareness is attained when people understand their responsibilities and how their actions contribute
to the achievement of the organization’s objectives.
2.2.5.5 Communication
Planned and effective internal (i.e. throughout the organization) and external (i.e. with relevant
interested parties) communication enhances people’s engagement and increased understanding of:
— the context of the organization;
— the needs and expectations of customers and other relevant interested parties;
— the QMS.
2.3 Quality management principles
2.3.1 Customer focus
2.3.1.1 Statement
The primary focus of quality management is to meet customer requirements and to strive to exceed
customer expectations.
2.3.1.2 Rationale
Sustained success is achieved when an organization attracts and retains the confidence of customers
and other relevant interested parties. Every aspect of customer interaction provides an opportunity to
create more value for the customer. Understanding current and future needs of customers and other
interested parties contributes to the sustained success of the organization.
2.3.1.3 Key benefits
Some potential key benefits are:
— increased customer value;

2.3.2 Leadership
2.3.2.1 Statement
Leaders at all levels establish unity of purpose and direction and create conditions in which people are
engaged in achieving the organization’s quality objectives.
2.3.2.2 Rationale
Creation of unity of purpose and the direction and engagement of people enable an organization to
align its strategies, policies, processes and resources to achieve its objectives.
2.3.2.3 Key benefits
Some potential key benefits are:
— increased effectiveness and efficiency in meeting the organization’s quality objectives;
— better coordination of the organization’s processes;

39 Foreword
40 ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
41 (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
42 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
43 established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
44 non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
45 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
46 International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
47 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
48 adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
49 International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
50 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
51 rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

56 Introduction
57 This International Standard provides the fundamentals and terminology of quality management systems. It is
58 the foundation of other ISO quality management system standards and serves as the normative reference for
59 many of them. It will help the user to understand the principles, systems model and terminology of quality
60 management in order to more effectively and efficiently implement a quality management system and realize
61 value from other ISO quality management system standards.
62 This management standard for quality makes the case for a well-defined quality management system based
63 on a framework that integrates established quality fundamental concepts, principles, processes and resources
64 to help organizations realize their goals Its aim is to make top management aware of their duties and
65 commitment in achieving their customers and stakeholders needs, expectations and satisfaction with their
66 products and services.
67 The terms and definitions are arranged in conceptual order according to ISO/IEC Directives. Annex A
68 provides information on how this works, including the set of diagrams of the concept systems that form the
69 concept ordering. An alphabetical list is provided at the end of the document to aid location of entries.

70 Quality management systems — Fundamentals and vocabulary
71 1 Scope
72 This International Standard describes the fundamental concepts, principles and vocabulary of quality
73 management, and defines related terms, which are universally applicable to the following:
74  organizations seeking sustained success through the implementation of quality and other management
75 systems;
76  customers seeking confidence in organization’s ability to provide satisfactory products;
77  organizations seeking confidence in their supply chain that their product requirements will be met;
78  those interested parties seeking to improve communication through a common understanding of the
79 terminology used in quality management;
80  organizations performing conformity assessments against the requirements of ISO 9001;
81  those providing training in quality management;
82  developers of related standards.
83 2 Quality management principles and fundamental concepts
84 2.1 General
85 The quality management concepts and principles described in this standard give management the capacity to
86 meet challenges presented by an environment that is profoundly different from that of just a few decades ago.
st
87 The context in which the 21 century organisation works is characterised by accelerated change, globalisation
88 of markets, limited resources, and the emergence of knowledge as a principal resource. Society has become
89 better educated and more demanding, making interested parties increasingly more powerful. This clause
90 provides a way of thinking about the organisation more broadly, by providing fundamental concepts and
91 principles to be used in the development of a Quality Management System.
92 2.2 Fundamental concepts
93 2.2.1 Quality
94 Quality focused organizations embrace a culture that inspires and drives behaviour, attitude, actions and
95 processes in order to deliver value through fulfilling the requirements of interested parties.
96 The quality of an organization’s products and services is determined by not only the ability to satisfy a
97 particular customer but also the intended and unintended impact on other interested parties.
98 The quality of products and services include not only their intended function, but also their perceived value
99 and benefit to the customer.
100 2.2.2 Quality management system
101 Quality management systems manage the interacting processes, sub-systems, procedures, and resources
102 required to:
103  provide value to all relevant interested parties, and
104  realize the outputs, outcomes, or results of the whole organization
105 Anticipating the impact of outcomes is essential in managing performance.
106 Quality management systems provide a means of managing the cost of quality. Awareness of these costs
107 enables organizations to take action in order to optimise utilization of resources.

ISO/DIS 9000
108 2.2.3 Interested parties
109 Organizations learn from relevant interested parties to develop their purpose and thereby define what outputs,
110 outcomes, or results they need to deliver to those interested parties and to society in general.
111 Organizations attract, capture and retain the support of organizations and individuals they depend upon for
112 their success.
113 2.2.4 Context of an organization
114 An adaptable, open and agile organization understands its context through examination of internal and
115 external issues impacting its purpose and sustainability. In addition to financial performance, organizations
116 may take environmental and social responsibility into account. An organization’s purpose is expressed
117 through statements such as an organization’s Vision and mission, policies, and improvement objectives.
118 2.2.5 Management Support
119 Active engagement and management support for the quality management system enables:
120  the provision of adequate human and other resources,
121  monitoring processes and outcomes,
122  identifying risks and opportunities, and
123  taking appropriate and robust actions.
124 Responsible acquisition, deployment, maintenance and disposal of resources satisfy the organization’s
125 objectives.
126 People are one of the most important resources of the organization. The performance of the organization is
127 dependent upon how people behave within the system in which they work. A quality management system is
128 more effective when management and individuals understand and develop the competence needed to
129 perform their roles and responsibilities.
130 2.2.5.1 Awareness
131 People within an organization should be aligned through a common understanding of the organization’s
132 desired outcomes and how they are driven by the quality policy. Awareness is evident when individuals
133 understand how their role contributes to the achievement of an organization’s objectives.
134 2.2.5.2 Communication
135 Effective communication throughout the organization and relevant interested parties enhances involvement
136 through better understanding of:
137  the management system and its performance, and
138  organizational values, objectives and strategies.
139 2.3 Quality management principles
140 2.3.1 General
141 The following seven quality management principles are derived from the fundamental concepts described in
142 Sub-clause 2.1 as principles of action.

340 interested parties;
341  Encourage and recognize improvements and achievements by suppliers and partners.
342
343 2.4 Development of fundamentals into a QMS
344 2.4.1 QMS model
345 Organisations share the characteristics of humans as a living and learning social organism.
346 2.4.1.1 System
347 Humans use their senses to identify, engage with, understand, and adapt to their environment in order to
348 conduct their every-day activities and achieve fulfilment. Organisations also seek to understand their
349 environment and identify those whose needs and expectations that must be satisfied to achieve the
350 organisation’s objective of sustained success. Although appearing the same and often comprising similar
351 sub-systems and processes, every organisation, like every human being, is unique.
