A well-designed quality management system (QMS) must address its risks and opportunities. These may arise from the organization’s significant aspects, compliance obligations or from other issues relating to the organization’s context.

An organization’s system although based on the common ISO 9001 standard may differ from others due to its risks and opportunities.
