Gate-way to register with ISO-9000 Series:
ISO9000 Registration means the certification of a company's
Quality Management System (QMS) by third party through their procedure of
registration. Third party assessment bodies can be used to assess any required
standard. The parts of ISO 9000 Standard, which specify requirements against
which assessments can be made, are ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003. This is
generally done by having an accredited independent third party on site audit of
companies operations against the requirements of the appropriate standard. Upon
successful completion of this audit, the company will receive a registration
certificate that identifies the company's quality systems as being in
compliance with ISO 9001, 9002, 9003. The company will also listed in a
register maintained by the accredited third party registration organization.
The company can publicize the registration and use the third party registration
certification mark on advertising, letterheads and other publicity materials (but
not on products).
