Annex B of ISO/DIS 9001:2015 describes the seven quality management principles upon which quality
management system standards are based.
Each principle has a Statement that describes the principle, followed by the Rationale for why
organizations should address the principle.
Note: The old quality management principles are shown in Italics and the changes are described.
QMP 1 Customer Focus
Statement
The primary focus of quality management is to meet customer requirements and to strive to exceed
customer expectations.
Rationale
Sustained success is achieved when an organization attracts and retains the confidence of customers
and other interested parties on whom it depends. 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 sustained success of an organization.
QMP1 Customer Focus
Organizations depend on their customers and therefore should understand current and future customer
needs, should meet customer requirements and strive to exceed customer expectations.
Change: The revised principle continues to focus on meeting customer requirements and striving to
exceed customer expectations. It adds that you need to look at every customer interaction for
opportunities to create more customer value. It also adds that sustained success is achieved when you
gain customer confidence.
QMP 2 Leadership
Statement
Leaders at all levels establish unity of purpose and direction and create conditions in which people are
engaged in achieving the quality objectives of the organization.
Rationale
Creation of unity of purpose, direction and engagement enable an organization to align its strategies,
policies, processes and resources to achieve its objectives.
