Since it was introduced a decade ago, ISO 9000 has taken off at a tremendous rate, being absorbed, adapted, and adopted by companies around the world with overwhelming success. With an upswing in registration, as well as an increase in the number of organizations beginning systems implementation, it continues to gain momentum--and shows no signs of slowing down. Now completely revised and expanded, ISO 9000 brings you up to speed on the latest developments affecting this important quality standard, providing an in-depth look at its language, processes, systems, technology, and requirements.

An internationally accepted standard for accessing markets, ensuring quality products, and building trust among trade partners, ISO 9000 enables companies to establish quality systems and develop internal self-discipline, as well as maintain product integrity and satisfy customer needs.
