The standards development process: user input is key to acceptance

Article Abstract:

The US Standards Group develops and maintains standards connected with management systems and related technologies. It focuses on statistics, quality, dependability and environment. When developing a standard, interested parties must first agree to begin the work. The standard is then drafted and released for comment. After revision, the proposed standard is issued, and a final draft international standard is published following a final round of voting. The most successful products of the US Standards Group have been the US versions of the ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 standards.
