(IAF: Sydney, Australia) -- It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ISO 9001 standard from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) brought about a revolution in the field of quality assurance.

ISO 9001 in India

During my last trip to India, it seemed like any company that could afford a sign advertising ISO 9001 certification had one on display. Businesses such as tea shops, small gas stations, hotels, independent English-language schools, trinket stands, owner-operated auto rickshaws, etc., had signs advertising their 9001 registration. It was nice to know that QM systems are respected, but it was incredibly difficult to believe that any of these companies were actually registered, or at least registered by a legitimate company.
