3. What application opportunities are there?

3.1 Building a foundation for management system(s)

Beyond ISO 9001, will organizations with integrated management systems (IMS) benefit from this new structure?

Of course, yes! The harmonized structure of the standards will make it easier to read and articulate the various management standards, knowing that similar requirements appearing in these standards (e.g.: management review or internal audits) are formulated in a homogeneous way, underlining the coherence of the management systems.

This simplifies the reading of common requirements, and helps users in their day-to-day implementation.
