The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and ISO have published a joint communiqué to require organizations to “consider” climate change in the context of risks and opportunities relevant to the management system.

Although this is pursuant to the London Declaration, which has goals for decarbonization and limitations on climate change, the amendments fortunately don’t require any commitment to achieve a “climate agenda” by 2050.

Unnecesary burden placed on the companies

“The organization shall determine whether climate change is a relevant issue.” how the companies are going to do this? climate change is a highly political and controversial issue. With over 30+ years in quality, I have seen sadly how ISO-9000 has drifted away from the true core of Quality System, the major blunder: making the quality manual optional!. I have made many audits to suppliers in China, and I do not need to read Chinese to understand it, however, without a quality manual, how I am suppose to judge their quality system. ISO suppose to come from the Greek word "isos" equal. Guess what? this is not longer the case, now it means "optional".
