Implementing 2015 revision by using old documents

I've a doubt in case we go to get a certification in 2016, if we could ask today for a ISO 9001:2008 ones or we must go to require the new standard ISO 9001:2015. We are a brand inside a company that have got the 2008 std, and we will use some of their processes, like HR and some others. So in my understanding we must achieve the same standard they have got, otherwise we have to implement our own processes with the 2015 std, am I right ?

Answer:

You might implement any version of the standard you want and use existing documents from your company. The only difference is that you need to revise those documents to make sure they are aligned with the requirements of the new version. I assume that you will be using procedures for document and record control, HR, internal audit, corrective actions, etc. All these documents should be revised and slightly changed just to meet requirements of the new standard but it will save you a lot of time since the changes are minor in these areas.
