Hi:
I am new to having lab responsibilities in my organization. As such, I am
getting an immersion in ISO9000, QS9000 and Lab accreditation. I am looking
for a brief
history of the evolution of ISO9000 to QS9000 and AS9000 (are there any
others lurking out there?), as well as the connection between the Quality
Systems and
accreditation such as ISO Guide 25 (A2LA) and ?????? (NADCAP). Can you
comments on these topics?
If you have received QS9000 accreditation, does that mean you also have
ISO9000?
My understanding is that only GM now requires the A2LA accreditation. Is
there a move for the other Auto OEM's to require it? What about other
industries
(Business Equipment, Appliances, Electrical........?)
What's happening with issues such as self certification to QS9000, AS9000 -
domestically and globally?
Any input you can provide will be most appreciated.
Regards
Cathy Ruiz
