Update your TL9000 R5.5 to TL9000 R6.0 by 15 September 2018 |
QuEST Forum has released the TL 9000:2016 (R6) standard. This standard has been updated based on the new ISO 9001:2015. The measurement handbook R5.0 is not changing right now, and the new standard will be effective from September 15, 2016. The organizations those are currently certified to the TL 9000, R5.5 will have time until September 15, 2018 to upgrade to the new standard. This is the same timeline for transition to the ISO 9001:2015.
To be consistent with the new ISO 9001:2015, TL 9000 R6.0 has also introduced conceptual changes like risk-based thinking, more emphasis on process approach, no mandatory procedures, no requirement for quality manual and management representatives. IGQ members also took this opportunity to simplify adders and notes based on the feedback received from the members.
TL 9000, R5.5 has 92 adders and 45 notes; the R 6.0 has 84 adders and 41 notes. Also, eight adders have been deleted from R5.5. Overall, practitioners should find reduced requirements and simplified language in TL9000:2016 (R6.0). QuEST Forum has also released the upgrade training module for the auditors.
