Description / Abstract:
General
This International Standard provides guidance for organizations
in the application of ISO 9001:2000 to the acquisition, supply,
development, operation and maintenance of computer software and
related support services. It does not add to or otherwise change
the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
Annex A (informative) provides a table pointing to additional
guidance in the implementation of ISO 9001:2000 available in
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 and ISO/TC 176 standards.
The guidelines provided in this International Standard are not
intended to be used as assessment criteria in quality management
system registration/certification.
Application
The application of this International Standard is appropriate to
software that is
- part of a commercial contract with another organization,
- a product available for a market sector,
- used to support the processes of an organization,
- embedded in a hardware product, or
- related to software services.
Some organizations may be involved in all of the above
activities; others may specialize in one area. Whatever the
situation, the organization's quality management system should
cover all aspects (software related and nonsoftware related) of the
business.
