standards have been released in 2000.

Standardization”
ISO Core Standards
ISO 9000:2000 Series, 1994 family of standards

have been reduced to 4 core standards:
• ISO 9000:2005 - Fundamentals and Vocabulary

• ISO 9001:2000 – Requirements
• ISO 9004:2000 – Guidelines for performance
improvements
• ISO 19011:2002 – Guidelines for Auditing Quality and/ or
Environmental Management Systems Auditing

9001:2000 to computer software.
Process
The ISO standards are structured around the
Process Approach concept. Two of the eight quality
management principles are key to understanding
this principle:

company resources and activities to optimize how
the organization performs.

Determine sequence and interaction of processes
and manage them as a total system. Processes
must meet customer requirements.

nonconforming product to the customer.

the products or services for their intended purpose at customer place

expect the Observation to be addressed in
some manner - such as through the
