Monitoring and measuring resources

What was the rational behind TC 176 changing from Control of Monitoring and Measuring Devices to Monitoring and Measuring Resources?

It is obvious, that TC 176 made the change to the ISO 9001:2015 to include all components of Monitoring and Measuring to the Quality Management System.


‘Control of Monitoring and Measuring Resources’ process includes 4 sub processes:


• Creating data for monitoring and measuring;
• Control of Monitoring and Measuring Devices (ISO 9001:2008 requirements were relevant to this sub process only)
• Control of monitoring and measuring methodologies;
• Training of personnel who conducts monitoring and measuring.


This approach has been implemented in our quality system procedure QSP 7.1-02 Control of Monitoring and Measuring Resources.
