To help with the transition, we’ve compiled a matrix showing the ISO 9001:2008 clauses compared to the ISO 9001:2015 clauses.
It’s very important to remember that there is no requirement for your quality manual, policies, or procedures to use the same numbering system (or any numbering system) as ISO 9001:2015. Therefore, if you do use a system that has the same numbers as ISO 9001:2008 you are not required to update your quality manual. However, in the interest of clarity and to avoid confusion, it might be helpful to do so.
