Note 1 This column is not intended to specify where an organization must or should address the changed requirement, but just as an idea where many
organizations might best fit this into their current ISO 9001: 2008 based QMS. The new revision also does not require many documented procedures,
however many companies upgrading their QMSs to meet the requirements of ISO 9001: 2015 may choose to maintain many of their current procedures

Note 2 Sections 5.3, 6.3, and 8.5.6 are requirements that would be identified in a registrar surveillance audit where the system has degraded due to management
rep or other key personnel leaving the organization Something we have seen many times.
