Relations between ISO90001: 2000 and relevant Standards(2002,Sep.3w)

If you want to understand ISO9001: 2000 well, it will be helpful to refer to relevant Standards such as QS9000(ISO/TS16949)and ISO140001:1996.

  1. QS9000(ISO/TS16949)
    QS9000(ISO/TS16949)has made based on ISO9001:2000 and has about additional "shalls" to 136 shalls of ISO9001: 2000 to satisfy requirements by car production sector.
    Therefore additional "shalls" means they have no requirements in ISO9001:2000.
    As an example, in 7.5.3 clause of ISO9001: 2000, it requires that where appropriate, the organization shall identify the product by suitable means throughout product realization, but instead QS9000 requires in an additional "shall" that " where appropriate" shall not apply.
    This means ISO9001: 2000 has more flexibility allowed in the clause than QS9000.

  2. ISO14001: 200x
    ISO14001:1996 is under review by TC207 by 2005. An interim report says that there will be the definition of " record". The definition will be that information on results achieved or providing evidence of activities performed.
    But ISO9000: 2000 has the definition of record that document stating results achieved or providing evidence of activities performed.
    Therefore, the coordination will be done between TC176 and 207.
    But I prefer to use the word of information rather than document, because the definition in ISO9000: 2000 has contradiction described in the following chart.
