The difference: "Made in an ISO 9000 Factory." This isn't just hype, as
anyone who his been involved in the pain of an ISO 9000, now 9001,
certification or the equivalent can attest. It involves closing the
loop between design, manufacture, and customer wishes and complaints.
It's kinda like quality control on steroids, since the loop involves
improvements in both manufacture and design. Generally ISO 9000 extends
to plant conditions and worker attitudes as well.
ISO means a lot of paperwork, much of it unnecessary. In some companies it
helps, but it is not all that it is touted to be. You can make crap, and
you can assure it is crap because you have the paperwork to back it up.
To comply with ISO standards I had to buy an expensive 24" scale with a
certificate of somethingorother to verify the accuracy. Makes a nice
straightedge, but has never been used to measure anything, but I have to
have it. .
