ISO 9000 ISO 9000 is the registration and certification of a manufacturer’s quality system. It relates to generic system standards that enable a company through a mix of internal and external audits, to provide assurance that it has a quality control system. It is a certification of the production process only, and does not guarantee that a manufacturer produces a “quality” product or service. 13-7 Irwin/McGraw-Hill
