both ISO work on the basis of Documented information to controlled and maintain. term “object” is new. The introduction of the term “object” to mean anything conceivable or perceivable and its use in various definitions (quality, design and development,innovation, review, traceability) seems to suggest that the new ISO 9001 standard

1) Older version had eight clauses where new version have ten clauses

2) New version emphasis on determining the context of the organisation and internal & external issues.   

In older version there is no such requirement

3) New version does not state about Management           representative which is there in the older version of ISO 

New version emphasis on Leadership and management commitment.

4) Risk based thinking is the core of new version where in older version  has no such approach.

Both old and new standards cover essentially the same topics. However, there are some important differences. Some of these are below.

Structure of the standard

1. ISO 90012008 had five main sections (4 to 8) and ISO 90012015 now has seven (4 to 10).

Context of the organization

ISO 90012015  needs to understand organization's external environment, its culture, its values, its performance, and its interested parties before developing  QMS. So that QMS will need to be able to manage all of these influences.

Documented information

The new ISO 90012015 standard has eliminated the long standing distinction between documents and records. Now they are both referred to as “documented information”.

According to ISO's definition, the term documented information refers to information that must be controlled and maintained. So,whenever ISO 90012015 uses the term documented information it implicitly expects you to control and maintain that information and its supporting medium.

Risk-based thinking

Risk-based thinking is now an essential part of the new  standard, it does not actually expect you to implement a formal risk management process nor does it expect you to document your risk-based approach.

Objects, outputs, products, and services

The definition of the term “object” is new. The introduction of the term “object” to mean anything conceivable or perceivable and its use in various definitions (quality, design and development,innovation, review, traceability) seems to suggest that the new ISO 9001 standard can be applied to any object whatsoever. In theory at least, this greatly expands its scope.

What ISO 90002005 used to call a “product” the new standard now calls an “output”. The two definitions are the same. Since the term “output” was not defined in 2005, this shift in terminology suggests that the process approach is now even more central to the new standard.

And to further complicate things, the old definition of “product” has now been split into three separate definitions for the terms output,product, and service. “Output” is the general concept since both“products” and “services” are now thought of as “outputs”.
