I believe that “issue” is related with clause 4.1 of ISO 9001:2015. Several organizations use SWOT analysis as a way of determining relevant internal and external issues. Using the SWOT analysis implies determining issues with a positive connotation (opportunities and strengths) and determining issues with a negative connotation (threats and weaknesses)

The following material will provide you information about internal and externa l issues:
