In 2020, TC176/SC2 (the committee responsible for revising the standard) conducted a user survey to find out what should be changed in the standard.
Based on the survey response, it was decided to leave ISO 9001:2015 unchanged.
Typically the standard gets revised every 6 to 8 years. This was quite a surprise that the standard is not getting revised this time. See here the history of revisions.
- ISO 9001:1987 (first issue)
- ISO 9001:1994 (after 7 years)
- ISO 9001:2000 (after 6 years)
- ISO 9001:2008 (after 8 years)
- ISO 9001:2015 (after 7 years)
Based on the history, there is a good chance that we might not see the next revision of the standard until the year 2030.

August 2023 Updates:
Based on the last ISO TC 176 SC2 ballot, there was a majority members in the favor of revising the document, based on the draft design specification.
This is a change from the earlier decision of not to revise the standard. This means the newer version of ISO 9001 would come sooner than 2030 predicted earlier.
ISO 9001:2026
The complete process of developing a new standard took around 3 years for ISO 9001:2015. This means we can expect the next version of ISO to be ISO 9001:2026.
