ISO/TAG 12 makes recommendations

Article Abstract:

The Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization's technical advisory group 12 (ISO/TAG 12) has developed three recommendations, two of which are housekeeping-oriented, and one focusing on changing the group's name. The group consists of ISO 9000, which is the series of quality-management system standards and ISO 14000, the series of environmental-management system standards. The group aims to find ways on how to improve the two management-system standards and increase its efficiency for users.
