Dropping ISO 9000 certification
Dropping ISO 9000 certification
(OP)
I have heard that a significant number of organizations hve been dropping ISO 9000 certification. Does anyone have a feel for the negative cost value ramifications either way?





RE: Dropping ISO 9000 certification
From what I know, the ISO 9000:1994 requirements expire Dec 15th, 2003. After that, a company has to be certified ISO 9000:2000.
As for the "negative cost value", I think any company that wants to do business in EU will have a hard time getting their foot in the door without ISO certification.

If they were at all concerned about product quality and customer satisfaction, there would be negligible cost impact to certification, due to the fact that one would already be doing what one needs to get certified.
