Crosswalk: ISO 14971:2007 Vs. ISO 14971:2019

Here’s a crosswalk for recently revised international risk management standard ISO 14971 and its 2007 predecessor.

Below is a crosswalk for the clauses and subclauses in the previous version (2007) of international risk management standard ISO 14971 and the new 2019 edition. (Check out our related ISO 14971:2019 story for tips on bringing the retooled standard into quality systems, and more.)
