Established in 1987, ISO 9000 is an
international set of five related standards for qualification of
global quality assurance and quality control standards. Adherence
is accomplished through an application process for ISO 9000
certification in company standards for inspecting production
processes, updating records, maintaining equipment, training
employees and handling customer relations. The governing
international consortium is recognized worldwide.

The International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) published the ISO 9000 series of quality
management and quality assurance standards in 1987 as a means to
rationalize the many various national approaches to the subject of
product quality. The ISO 9000 series has been widely recognized as
an aid in developing manufacturing and service organizations'
quality management as an additional assurance to product
purchasers that the products and services they buy will
consistently meet quality objectives.

A worldwide standard for QA (Quality
Assurance) procedures, similar to the U.S. Department of Defense's
"corrective action" program of many years ago. It does not
regulate or assure product quality, it just assures that quality
assurance and reporting procedures are formalized, in place, and
meet ISO 9000 standards. A company can still produce trash, as
long as procedures are followed.
