JIm,
Ya see, ya got your ISO and TMBG and JTCG producing a harmonized structure. It's harmonized, see? Harmony is good.
And your ISO/IAF communique providing guidance for da MSS. Guidance, see? Guidance is good.
And the TC's and the mirror groups give input to da JTCG. Input, see? Input is good.
No jargon, clear as can be!![]()
I think I understand the difference between jargon and acronyms/abbreviations. My bad. I could have sworn this was a thread about 'ISO 9001:2015 Amendment 1 Published - Determination of Climate Change Relevance'.In an attempt to help you understand here is the definition of jargon from the Oxford Learners Dictionary:
words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group of people, and are difficult for others to understand medical/legal/computer, etc. jargon Try to avoid using too much technical jargon.
Here it is from an American English Dictionary:
words and expressions that are used in special or technical ways by particular groups of people, often making the language difficult to understand.
When you use terms that ordinary people are not familiar with you should expect poor understanding. Or you can simply ignore it because they are not important.
In a scene from Lord of the Rings, the trolls assemble to fight off the jargonista!JIm,

It's a good point, Bev. As mentioned earlier, there are issues with the sheer volume of information out there. I did the article on communications and I might have a go at the 'How do standards get developed? piece.Well I’m not seeing those committee names as jargon, but acronyms of entities in a structure that most Quality people don’t understand. This is part of the lack of transparency and accountability of the whole ISO thing. But many here also use inside baseball words like when people just quote section numbers and don’t state what the section says.
Seems like something a marketing department would write. At least they were compliant.Hey, I asked the magic question today during my annual surveillance and here's the piece.
XXX as part of YYYYY we have recognized the need to reduce impact on the environment and to regularly assess environmental strategies.
Extracted from the 2022 Environmental, Social, and Government Report (YYYYY) - “CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, and we all need to take part in addressing it. At YYYYY, we are doing so much innovative work to help protect the planet—from Puerto Rico to Australia, from the UK to Japan”
Apparently you did not get it. The moment an organization says “we are doing so much bla bla bla” the auditor has to IMMEDIATELY engage and ask what exactly are they doing and how that impacts the QMS. The auditor is now expected to follow those trails.Seems like something a marketing department would write. At least they were compliant.
I get it. Still sounds like something a marketing department writes. I can't see any QMS professional writing the documented statement in a way that brags about their CC work. I would be interested to know what came of the review of their innovative work.Apparently you did not get it.

Well, I'm not going to speak for all here, but I was a 3rd party certified Lead Auditor to ISO 14001 by the old RAB since 1999, I've been an Environmental professional for over 30 years and started to be so while working in California under their Environmental regulations, I've been a GHG verifier since about 2004 or 2005 for who I work for, I'm a certified RC14001 & RCMS Lead Auditor, and I've been doing 3rd party auditing for over 22 years..........I know a sheep from a goat and when I'm having smoke blown up my butt, and it doesn't matter who writes it a marketing department or Dr Seuss, the determination, statement, previous actions and planned actions were verified though not really mandated beyond the determination itself.I get it.

I assume they were already taking CC actions long before this was added to ISO?Well, I'm not going to speak for all here, but I was a 3rd party certified Lead Auditor to ISO 14001 by the old RAB since 1999, I've been an Environmental professional for over 30 years and started to be so while working in California under their Environmental regulations, I've been a GHG verifier since about 2004 or 2005 for who I work for, I'm a certified RC14001 & RCMS Lead Auditor, and I've been doing 3rd party auditing for over 22 years..........I know a sheep from a goat and when I'm having smoke blown up my butt, and it doesn't matter who writes it a marketing department or Dr Seuss, the determination, statement, previous actions and planned actions were verified though not really mandated beyond the determination itself.
