January 2007 - January 25 2015 For the latest in and about ISO 9001, ISO 14001, as well as other related standards, Visit the Elsmar Cove Forums. |
If you are new to ISO 9000 (specifically ISO 9001), you can find out everything you want to know about the ISO 9000 series of documents, including the evolution of the standard back to the 1960's (See this set of QMS (Quality Management Systems) Implementation Slides). Mainly what is dealt with in this section of the page from this point down is information that, as a 'beginner, you should take some time to browse through to get a feel for what ISO 9001 is and what it is about. Don't get confused by the 'old' version' and the 'new' version. Don't let the 'Process Approach' rants scare you. There really is little difference other than verbiage. So, as you peruse the 'old' stuff, you will gain an understanding of the principles ISO 9001 is built on. |
