The document provides information about ISO 9000 quality management standards. It defines quality as "the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements." It then discusses what ISO is, the history and purpose of ISO, the ISO 9000 standards, and the requirements and principles of the ISO 9000:2000 standard. Key points include that ISO aims to harmonize international standards, ISO 9000 was revised in 2000 to be process-based and follow the PDCA model, and the ISO 9000:2000 requirements focus on quality management systems, management responsibility, resource management, product realization, and measurement, analysis and improvement.

2. WHAT IS ISO
• ISO (pronounced aizo) is a Greek word
that means equal.
• It is a set of international standards
prepared by the International
Organisation for Standardization, a
voluntary body that has representation
from more than 100 countries and is
headquartered in Geneva

3. History of ISO
The International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) was formed in 1946 in
Geneva Switzerland. The ISO’s intention was to
promote the development of international
standards and related activities so as to foster the
increased trade of products and services between
countries. ISO was initially focused on the
increasing technological complexities in engineering
and defence industries where consequences of
failure were very high. Today the ISO 9000
standards have been mandated by many
governments and organizations around the world.
