Editing ISO 9000

'''ISO 9000''' are [[ISO standard]]s for [[work description]].  They are not for making the work more humane (see [[SA 8000]] for that), only predictable.  They are now merged at the [[auditing]] level with [[ISO 14000]] standards, so that [[natural capital]] comes ''before [[social capital]]'' in audit schemes.

'''Quality Management Systems''' are based on 9000, by law, in 80 countries. The year 2000 ISO 9000 family of standards consists of four primary standards supported by a number of technical reports.  The four primary standards are: 

ISO 9000: Quality Management Systems - Concepts and Vocabulary 

[[ISO 9001]]: Quality Management Systems - Requirements 

[[ISO 9004]]: Quality Management Systems - Guidelines 

[[ISO 19011]]: Guidelines for Auditing Quality Systems which merges [[ISO 10011]] with [[ISO 14011]] from the [[ISO 14000]] series.  This puts [[natural capital]] first and foremost in the auditing structure.  It is this which the [[trusted auditor]] will most likely have to deal with to audit [[styles of capital]] involved and affected in any [[production process]].
