QPS 8.4-01 Control of External Providers Is Now Updated for ISO 9001:2026

By -

QPS 8.4-01 Control of External Providers has just been rewritten for ISO 9001:2026 — genuinely updated against the new standard, not just relabeled from the 2015 edition.

What changed — and why

  • Covers provider requirements, tenders, and quantitative evaluation and ranking, aligned with ISO 9001:2026 clause 8.4.
  • Environmental-impact criteria now built into the supplier scorecard, so your approved-supplier ranking weighs climate impact alongside price, quality and delivery.
  • New criterion for whether the external provider itself holds ISO 9001:2026-certified QMS — folded straight into the weighted scoring table.

Table 2 from the Provider Evaluation Methodology — note the new 'ISO 9001:2026 certified QMS' scoring criterion.

What's inside

  • Format: MS Word (fully editable)
  • Price: $34.00

Includes:

  • Annex 1: Provider Evaluation Methodology (with worked example scorecard)
  • Approved supplier register
  • Purchasing specification template

'The organization shall retain documented information that: a) describes the nonconformity; b) describes the actions taken; c) describes the concessions obtained; d) identifies the authority deciding the action in respect of the nonconformity.' ISO 9001:2015 cl.8.7.2 Q: Does the requirement 8.7.2 of ISO 9001:2015 mean that EVERY Nonconforming output must be recorded?  Even if it is just corrected (as allowed)?  This could become a rather overloaded list of Nonconforming outputs.   A: Yes - EVERY Nonconforming output must be recorded , at least for two reasons. 1.
