Editing ISO 9000 family (section)

==Industry-specific interpretations==
The ISO 9001 standard is generic; its parts must be carefully interpreted to make sense within a particular organization. [[Software development process|Developing software]] is not like making [[cheese]] or offering [[counseling]] services, yet the ISO 9001 guidelines, because they are business management guidelines, can be applied to each of these. That being said there is no requirement to cite scientific or industrial guidelines/textbooks/journals. Diverse organizations—police departments (United States), professional [[soccer]] teams (Mexico), and city councils (UK)—have successfully implemented ISO 9001 systems.

Over time, various industry sectors have wanted to standardize their interpretations of the guidelines within their own marketplace. This is partly to ensure that their versions of ISO 9000 have their specific requirements, but also to try and ensure that more appropriately trained and experienced auditors are sent to assess them and even certify according to that interpretation.
* The '''[[TickIT]]''' guidelines are an interpretation of ISO 9000 produced by the UK Board of Trade to suit the processes of the information technology industry, especially software development.
* '''[[AS9000]]''' is the Aerospace Basic Quality System Standard, an interpretation developed by major aerospace manufacturers. Those major manufacturers include [[AlliedSignal]], [[Allison Engine]], [[Boeing]], [[General Electric Aircraft Engines]], [[Lockheed-Martin]], [[McDonnell Douglas]], [[Northrop Grumman]], [[Pratt & Whitney]], [[Rockwell-Collins]], [[Sikorsky Aircraft]], and [[Sundstrand Corporation|Sundstrand]]. The current version is AS9100D.
* '''PS 9000''' * '''QS 9000''' is an interpretation agreed upon by major automotive manufacturers (GM, Ford, Chrysler). It includes techniques such as [[failure mode and effects analysis|FMEA]] and [[Advanced Product Quality Planning|APQP]]. QS 9000 is now replaced by ISO/TS 16949.
* '''[[ISO/TS 16949]]:2009''' is an interpretation agreed upon by major automotive manufacturers (American and European manufacturers); the latest version is based on ISO 9001:2008. The emphasis on a process approach is stronger than in ISO 9001:2008. ISO/TS 16949:2009 contains the full text of ISO 9001:2008 and automotive industry-specific requirements. After the new edition of ISO 9001:2015 the ISO/TS 16949:2009 was also completely revised and reissued by IATF (International Automotive Task Force). IATF 16949:2016 is now a stand-alone standard that doesn't include the ISO 9001:2015 requirements but still refers to them and works as an additional automotive-specific requirement to ISO 9001.
* '''[[TL 9000]]''' is the Telecom Quality Management and Measurement System Standard, an interpretation developed by the telecom consortium, [http://www.questforum.org QuEST Forum]. In 1998 QuEST Forum developed the TL 9000 Quality Management System to meet the supply chain quality requirements of the worldwide telecommunications industry. The TL 9000 standard is made up of two handbooks: the QMS Requirements Handbook, and the QMS Measurement Handbook. The current versions of the Requirements and Measurements Handbooks are 6.0. Unlike ISO 9001 or other sector-specific standards, TL 9000 includes standardized product and process measurements that must be reported into a central repository, which allows organizations to benchmark their performance in key process areas against peer organizations. TL 9000 R6.0 contains the full text of ISO 9001:2015.
* '''[[ISO 13485]]:2016''' is the medical industry's equivalent of ISO 9001. ISO 13485:2016 is a stand-alone standard. Because ISO 13485 is relevant to medical device manufacturers (unlike ISO 9001, which is applicable to any industry), and because of the differences between the two standards relating to continual improvement, compliance with ISO 13485 does not necessarily mean compliance with ISO 9001 (and vice versa).
* '''[[ISO/IEC 90003]]:2014''' provides guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 to computer software.
* '''[[ISO/TS 29001]]''' is quality management system requirements for the design, development, production, installation, and service of products for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. It is equivalent to API Spec Q1 without the Monogram annex.
*[https://www.iso.org/standard/72808.html '''ISO 18091'''] is the guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 in local government.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.iso.org/standard/72808.html | title=Iso 18091:2019 | date=26 March 2019 }}</ref>
*[https://www.iso.org/standard/75288.html '''ISO/TS 54001'''] is the Quality management system with particular requirements for the application of ISO 9001:2015 for electoral organizations at all levels of government.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.iso.org/standard/75288.html | title=Iso/Ts 54001:2019 | date=11 June 2019 }}</ref>
*[https://www.iso.org/standard/66912.html ISO 17025:2017] is the Quality Management System applicable only to Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
