There's more to 5.5.1 than just the first line.
The second line demands independence for those doing work that involves quality (of the product).
For that we are looking to ensure that QC/QA doesn't report to Sales (for example), at least not without appropriate justification/controls. It can obviously get tricky in very small companies.
