Yeah I have been involved in companies that went for ISO certification. ISO
is the greatest splash of hog wash ever inflicted on American companies by
the Europeans.
It is much akin to the military expression, "The incompetent leading the
unwilling to do the unnecessary". The only ones profiting from ISO are the
ISO certification agencies.

Another rip off of American business is the long lived Underwriter's
Laboratories. I was involved with various certifications on my last job,
especially FCC type acceptance of RF products. I got a price package once
for UL. Unfrigginbelieveable! You pay for the UL testing and then you
commit to have inspectors visit the manufacturing premises at periodic
intervals for retesting. Kind size rip if ever there was one!. Not far
behind are the test houses that test products leading to FCC Type Acceptance
Certification.

I'll see your ISO and raise you Sarbanes-Oxley... My little thirty man
department has just finished a man-year of work for that little fiasco and
we're in an English IT department of a French company!
