ANSI is offering a free copy of the Draft International Standard (DIS) version of ISO 9001:2015 to those willing to submit comments on the standard. Just send a request to standards@asq.org, and they will not only send you the proper commenting form with instructions, but also a free copy of the ISO DIS 9001:2015 standard itself.
For those of you stupid enough to pay for it, like I did, you can download just the instructions and commenting form here, and save yourself the wait:
ISO 9001:2015 DIS Comments Instruction (PDF)
ISO 9001:2015 DIS Comments Form (DOC)
I won’t upload a copy of the free DIS, since ISO is so sensitive about those things, even if the free copy that ANSI is sending to everyone on the planet is clearly watermarked with a “single user license” note on the bottom. Whatever.
Deadline for comments is July 15, 2014, so get cracking if you want to give TC 176 enough time to ignore “process” your comments accordingly.
