Just a note to editors of this article that consensus formed for Quality Objectives to be marged into this article. Thanks, —░] PaleoNeonate █ ⏎ ? ERROR ░ 04:14, 24 April 2017 (UTC) Resolved&#58; Was merged by, thanks! —░] PaleoNeonate █ ⏎ ? ERROR ░ 07:08, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

This article fails to make a distinction between ISO 9000 and the ISO 9000 family. The two are not the same. The title suggests it pertains to ISO 9000, but the introduction describes the ISO 9000 family. ISO 9000 is only one standard in the 9000 family which deals with the fundamentals and definitions. Thus, the title of the article needs to be changed to ISO 9000 Family, or the article needs to be limited to only ISO 9000.

Additionally, the ISO 9000 family now includes only 4, not 5, standards. ISO 9003 is now obsolete, and ISO 19011 was added. Currently, the 4 standards that make up the 9000 series are:

ISO 9000:2015: Quality Management Systems - Fundamentals and Vocabulary

ISO 9001:2015: Quality Management Systems - Requirements

ISO 9004:2018: Quality Management - Quality of an Organization - Guidance to Achieve Sustained Success

ISO 19011:2018: Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems

These four standards are listed and described in an ISO publication found at: https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/store/en/PUB100208.pdf, as well as on the AQS website. ISO 9002 is still current, but it was not identified as part of the family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.149.219 (talk) 21:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Background Citation?
In the background is this quote:

> and the U.K's "Def Stan 05-21 and 05-24. Large organizations which supplied government procurement agencies often had to comply with a variety of quality assurance requirements for each contract awarded which led the defence industry to adopt mutual recognition of NATO AQAP, MIL-Q and Def Stan standards. Eventually, ISO 9000 was adopted as a suitable option, instead of forcing contractors to adopt multiple - and often similar - requirements.

The double-quotes are missing from the end, so it's unclear where the citation ends. For the same reason, I can't fix it. In addition, both this and the previous citation don't cite their sources. 67.200.201.137 (talk) 19:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)


 * When searching google for the first sentence, all I find are copies of this article. If we can't find a source for the claims we may need to simply remove them.  — Paleo  Neonate  – 18:39, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Criticisms of ISO 9001 certification
This section fails to adopt a neutral tone and appears to be openly written as a rebuttal to criticisms. The most egregious example of this being the start of the paragraph "Incorrectly, John Seddon, states without reason that ISO 9001 promotes...". The references given in this paragraph are to the original criticisms, the rebuttals remain unsourced and apparently written by the editor.

I'm tagging this section with an unbalanced warning, apologies if that makes it a drive-by tagging, please undo if so. Neil Monteiro (talk) 21:40, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
