(ISO: Geneva) -- The latest edition of ISO 9001, the world’s most widely used quality management standard, is included on a newly launched CD collection of the generic standards in the ISO 9000 family from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The ISO standards collection, ISO 9000 Quality management, on CD, contains 18 standards (including one draft and two technical corrigendums).

The collection includes ISO 9001:2008, the latest edition of the standard that establishes the requirements for a quality management system and that can be used for certification by organizations that wish to have their conformity to the standard verified by an independent auditor. At the end of 2007, at least 951,486 certificates of conformity to the previous edition, ISO 9001:2000, had been issued in 175 countries and economies.

Also included on the CD is the Draft International Standard, ISO/DIS 9004—“Managing for the sustained success of an organization—A quality management approach.”
