The importance of quality interpreting in legal and healthcare settings can never be stressed enough, when any mistake – no matter how small – can compromise the delivery of justice or put someone’s health at risk.

Tras un largo proceso de revisión por parte del Comité Técnico 176 de ISO, el 23 de septiembre de 2015 fue finalmente publicada la nueva y esperada versión de la norma ISO 9001, el modelo de sistemas de gestión más popular y con mayor número de certificados en todo el mundo. Vistos los cambios que aporta esta nueva edición —cambios en la estructura, en el enfoque, en los requisitos, en los términos y conceptos—, el proceso de transición no será una tarea fácil para las personas responsables de la implementación y mantenimiento del sistema, por lo que el principal objetivo de este libro es hacer una descripción sencilla de los cambios y novedades que aporta la nueva versión de la norma de forma que el proceso de transición sea lo más eficaz y menos traumático posible. Este libro es una guía útil tanto para aquellas empresas que aborden la implementación de la norma por primera vez como aquellas que ya estén certificadas. Para ello, se incluyen como anexos la correlación entre los puntos de la antigua versión 2008 y la nueva versión 2015 así como un listado en el que se especifican los nuevos documentos y registros obligatorios, que facilita la optimización del sistema documental.
