ISO 9000 parameters are being measured and controlled to ensure quality. Furthermore, when unique technical solutions are involved in the creation of a new part, ISO does not validate the robustness of the technical solution which is a key part of advanced quality planning. It is not unheard of for an ISO-certified plant to display poor quality performance due to poor process selection and/or poor technical solutions. ISO 9000 The ISO 9000 family of quality management systems standards is designed to help organizations ensure that they meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements related to
Symbols and conventions used in welding documentation Symbols and conventions used in welding documentation The symbols and conventions used in welding documentation are specified in national and international standards such as ISO 2553 "Welded, brazed and soldered joints -- Symbolic representation on drawings" and ISO 4063 "Welding and allied processes -- Nomenclature of processes and reference numbers". The US standard symbols are outlined by the American National Standards Institute and the American Welding Society and are noted as "ANSI/AWS".
