来自ISO官方网站2005年10月17日消息，ISO 9000族标准的新版本已经出版，该版本定义了质量管理体系的术语并描述了它的基础。

ISO 9000:2005《质量管理体系 基础和术语》中质量管理体系(QMS)基础的描述无变化, 与2000出版的前一个版本一样。但是考虑到ISO 9000族标准增加了许多新文件，并且ISO 9000族标准是按照术语排列的，所以增加和扩展了一些定义和注释。举例如下：技术专家，要求，能力，合同，审核员，审核组，审核计划和审计范围。

负责ISO 9000族标准的是ISO/TC 176/SC1质量管理和质量保证技术委员会概念和术语分委会，该分委会主席Youssef El Gamal解释说：“出台新版标准的主要原因是为不同管理体系标准中使用关键字提供唯一的明确的定义, 尤其是ISO 9001:2000《质量管理体系 要求》和ISO 19011:2002《质量和(或)环境管理体系审核指南》。”

修订的ISO 9000族标准也考虑到ISO和IEC（国际电工委员会）兼容的可靠性。

为了反映这些变化，ISO 9000族标准的2005版本中增加了许多图表。

ISO 9000:2005对ISO 9000族标准的所有使用者都非常有用，尤其是以下人员：

·         供方、顾客和专家，为他们对提供质量管理术语的常规解释；

·         评定质量管理体系的人或按照ISO 9001:2000进行审核的人，如认证机构的内审员、外审员和专家；

·         质量管理体系的顾问和培训教员。

ISO 9000:2005《质量管理体系 基础和术语》售价118瑞士法郎，各国ISO成员单位 (见通讯录) 和ISO中央秘书处(见下)有售。该标准由ISO/TC 176/SC1质量管理和质量保证技术委员会概念和术语分委会制订。

17 October 2005

ISO has published a new edition of the standard in the ISO 9000 family that defines the vocabulary and describes the fundamentals of quality management systems.

ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary, introduces no changes to the descriptions of the fundamentals of quality management systems (QMS), as presented in the previous edition published in 2000. However, some definitions have been added and explanatory notes expanded or added to take account of more recent documents in the ISO 9000 family and to align ISO 9000 with these. Examples include the following: technical expert, requirement, competence, contract, auditor, audit team, audit plan and audit scope.

Youssef El Gamal, Chair of Subcommittee 1, Concepts and terminology, of ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance, which is responsible for ISO 9000, explained: “The primary reason for this new edition is to provide a single unambiguous meaning of key words used in various management systems standards, in particular, ISO 9001:2000, Quality management systems – Requirements and ISO 19011:2002, Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing.”

The revised ISO 9000 also takes account of joint work by ISO and the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) on dependability.

To reflect these changes, a number of the diagrams appearing in ISO 9000 have been enhanced for the 2005 version.

ISO 9000:2005 will be useful for all users of standards in the ISO 9000 family, in particular for the following:

· suppliers, customers and regulators in providing them with a common understanding of the terminology of quality management,

·  people who assess QMS, or audit them for conformity to ISO 9001:2000 – such as internal auditors, external auditors of certification bodies, and regulators, and

·  providers of consultancy or training on QMS.

ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary, costs 118 Swiss francs and is available from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details) and from ISO Central Secretariat (see below). It was developed by Subcommittee 1, Concepts and terminology, of ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance.
