IASG Interpretations Detail QS-9000 Phase-Out Process

The IASG has issued two new QS-9000 Interpretations that become effective July 1, 2002, and are not so much new Interpretations of the requirements as supplemental information regarding how QS-9000:1998 is to be conformed with today and in the years leading up to its phase-out in 2006. In addition, the SQRTF has developed a document that clarifies the Subcontractor Development implications surrounding 4.6.2.1 of QS-9000:1998 and Interpretation C9. This report examines the new Interpretations issued by the IASG and the SQRTF document. A supplement to the June 2002 issue provides a reprint of the complete IASG Interpretations.
