CA "Oversight Group" to Focus on QMS Transition Concerns

An "Oversight Group" first proposed at an IAF meeting in Kyoto in November 2001 met in mid-May 2002 to develop a better understanding of the factors contributing to the erosion in creditability of ISO 9000 and in the acceptance of ISO 9001:2000. However, even in Kyoto it became clear that the concerns were not with the creditability of ISO 9001:2000 itself, but of the registration process. Information is provided on the meeting, and facts are briefly detailed about the state of management system registration based on reports received and discussions had with a range of sources at AQC and elsewhere.
