Legal requirements in ISO/WD 9000-3:2000

[Sara]

Any idea where can I find more information
concerning the legal requirements and how should it be applied to the quality system? I have read the proposal for the revision of ISO 9000-3:1997 (21 July, 1999), but there is very little said about legal requirements.
