Is ISO9000 and ISO9001 certification the same thing? What is the relationship between them? Do you think the name is wrong? There is no ISO9000 at all?
According to Baidu Encyclopedia:
ISO9001 certification is one of the core standards of quality management system included in ISO9000 standards. ISO9000 family standard is a concept put forward by international organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1994. It refers to the international standard formulated by ISO / TC176 (quality management and quality assurance technical committee of international organization for Standardization).
The above sentence shows that ISO9000 is the general name of a family, and ISO9001 certification is one of a series of standards. So the question comes again. What are the standards of ISO9000?
By understanding the following:
ISO9000 is a system and a quality management system. ISO9000 family is a family (Group) standard, which includes four core standards. There are four:
1. Iso9000:2005 quality management system -- basic principles and terms
2. ISO9001:2008 quality management system - Requirements
3. Iso9004:2009 quality management system performance improvement guide
4. Iso19011:2011 quality and environmental audit guidelines
There is another question, which of the four standards do we often use?
Through the search, the second item: "ISO9001:2008 quality management system - Requirements" is the basis standard for the audit of certification bodies, and also the standard that enterprises want to be certified need to meet. ISO9001 is the only certified standard in ISO9000 family. This is why many enterprises have to do ISO9001 certification. Therefore, I feel that the whole ISO9000 quality management system is relatively standardized, after all, it is an international standard formulated by the international organization for Standardization (ISO), recognized by 162 member states.
