Hi all,
I came across a strange event last year.
Our site in France was preparing for the ISO 9001:2008 certification.
To support the site they had make use of a ISO person who helped them with their compliance towards ISO 9001.
Due to some changes in the quality control registration systems used (we wanted to synchronise the registration systems over both sites to be able to report in the same way) we came in discussion with this ISO person.
Apart from the content of the discussion, this ISO person at a certain point claimed that the interpretation of the ISO 9001 standard is different between countries (in this case NL and FR).
I found this statement very strange since I thought the ISO standards were to standardize and that the interpretation would certainly not be country dependend.
What do you think? Is there any logical explanation why an ISO person would make such a statement?
Thanks!
