The other sections in ISO 9001 support the Model.

The Process Model, as laid out in the new ISO 9001, is composed of four sections: Section 5: Management Responsibility Section 6: Resource Management Section 7: Product Realization and Section 8: Measurement, Analysis, Improvement. Instead of 20 elements, it is based on a Process Model that any effective enterprise can use whether it manufactures parts, processes chemicals or provides services. The quality model in ISO 9000:2000 is quite different. To register to ISO 9000:1994, as the saying goes, “Document what you do, do what you document and be prepared to prove it.” The primary purpose is to assure customers that the certified company produces products at a consistent level of quality. The standard was originally designed for application to manufacturing companies that produce widgets, although it can be, and has been, adapted to apply to processing companies and service organizations. ISO 9000:1994 defines quality around 20 key elements a company uses to effectively and consistently produce products and services it provides customers. ISO 9000:2000 and ISO 9000:1994 offer different models for quality. Do we have to register to the new standard? How long is our current certification good for? Why the change? What’s the difference between the old ISO and the new ISO? How will it change the way we run our business? Who will benefit from the new standard? Who will be hurt? Will it be more difficult to implement the new ISO than the old ISO? In view of the impact of this revision and the costs it will entail, organizations understandably have many questions and concerns. ISO 9004 provides guidance for implementation and fleshes out ISO 9001. ISO 9001, which is the heart of the new revision, states the requirements for the new system.

ISO 9000 deals with fundamentals and vocabulary. Like its predecessor, ISO 9000:2000 is really a series of three interrelated documents-each of which has a different function. Raw Materials, Chemicals, Polymers and Additives Handbook.
