6. Standards Activities Method for Improving Implementation of ISO 9000 Through Technical Standards • The ISO 9000 process at GSFC is based on two types of documents. PG’S are executed inside the directorate primarily at the Branch level. - GPG --Goddard Procedures and Guidelines (higher level document) - PG --Procedures and Guidelines (lower level document) • The PG's for code 500 (AETD) are used as documents which define our Quality process.

7. Standards Activities • The PG’s listed are required to be updated every 4 to 5 years. The standards are constantly beingupdated. • The standards were registered in SUNS and all updates will be sent to the PG owners as the updates are available. • A look at the impact of the new tech standard was performed. The first pass was by George Alcorn. If it was believed that improvement in the PG’s (improving reliability, cost, operational performance ect), without over riding the negatives could be obtained, then work to change the PG’s with the assistance of PG owners was performed. • The improvement (update) of technical standards when incorporated in PG’s can yield procedural and process improvements.

8. Standards Activities • Status of GPS Testing Standard • The ITAR review is continuing. • Further review by other NASA centers and GSFC GPS experts continue. • The next release will be early October. • There will be no future funding required.
