ISO9001:2008 update part 4 (clause 5)

For this part 4, I will elaborate on changes for clause 5 Management Responsibility.

Clause 5.5.2 Management representative
This revised ISO9001:22008 contains Clarification that this must be a member of the organization’s own management .

This is just to strengthen and emphasise that the Management Representative must one of the Company's management team.
In some group of companies, the Management Representative could be from HQ. So the numerous companies within the group could be sharing one Management Representative.

This standard emphasises that the Management Representative must be from the same company, not from a sister company, not from the parent company.
