ISO Documentation Definitions and Guidelines
Understanding the ISO documentation structure is vital in building compliant ISO management systems.
 
What is an ISO Clause- When referring to the elements of an ISO management system, there is no difference between an ISO clause and element. ISO requirements are related into eight sections (called ISO clauses), five of which contain mandatory requirements for a management system: general Quality Management System requirements (clause 4), Management Responsibility (clause 5), Resource Management (clause 6), Product Realization (clause 7), and Measurement, Analysis and Improvement (clause 8)
What is the ISO High-Level Structure- The High-Level Structure (HLS) is a set of 10 clauses that all ISO management system standards are required to use in the future. This is so that all management system standards will have the same look and feel, and will enable greater integration between systems of different disciplines. The High Level Structure is mentioned in Annex SL of the ISO directive where all the new changes for the standards.
