Transitioning from ISO 9001-1994 to -2000
Transitioning from ISO 9001-1994 to -2000
(OP)
There is a body of opinion where I work that our quality operating procedures can be made ISO 9001-2000 compliant by simply adding the newly introduced elements to our existing procedures from our ISO 9001-1994 compliant manual. This runs against what I have seen and heard, would anyone care to weigh in on this?

We were going to renumber everything. My contention is that the elements that remain from -1994 have been changed substantially enough that our existing operating procedures will no longer be in conformance with the standard. I can't see where just pasting in the elements in -2000 that did not exist in the -1994 standard will bring our quality operating procedures into compliance.

New 4.1--> requirements of old 4.2.1
New 4.2--> requirements of old 4.2.1,4.2.2,4.5,4.16
New 5.1--> requirements of old 4.1.1
New 5.2--> requiremetns of old 4.3.2
New 5.3--> requirements of old 4.1.1
New 5.4--> requirements of old 4.1.1, 4.2.3
New 5.5--> requiremetns of old 4.1.2.1, 4.1.2.3
New 5.6--> requirements of old 4.1.3
Etc, etc. Your company will still need to conduct a gap analysis, but I think you will find that you probably can use much of what you have in your existing QMS.
