Justin,  ISO 9000 is a a type of standard which companies can seek to bring 
their corporations in line with and supposedly its a good thing to have. I 
attached an article from a website from which you can buy the standards. If 
you need more info let me know. see ya later y'all Ian      ISO9.com and ANSI 
Establish Reselling Agreement for the ISO 9000:2000 Standards  New York, NY 
and Oakland, CA, December 11, 2000 - ISO9.com and the American National 
Standards Institute (ANSI) have announced an agreement regarding U.S. 
distribution of the ISO 9000 series of quality management system standards, 
including the soon to be published ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9004:2000 standards. 
ISO9.com sells electronic versions of the Standards on the Internet at 
http://store.iso9.com << File: http://store.iso9.com/ >> . The new version of 
ISO 9000 will be available on December 15.  "Distribution of the ISO 9000 
standards is an important step for our organization," said Glenn Kohner, 
Founder and CTO of ISO9.com. "Customers on the Internet expect instant 
delivery of information. Users on our site are learning about Internet ISO 
9000. It's only natural that they would want access to the actual Standards." 
 There are two ways to procure the ISO 9000 standards from ISO9.com. The 
Standards, which a company is required to own to be in compliance, will be 
offered both independently and bundled with the ISO9.com application. With 
the integrated version, companies will be able to view the Standard alongside 
their QMS, in a seamless format.   "ISO9.com is one of ANSI's more unique 
value added resellers in that it has actually integrated the ISO 9001:2000 
standard into its application," commented Bob Feghali, ANSI vice president of 
business development and chief information officer. "We are committed to fast 
action in the delivery of the new ISO 9000 revisions; partnering with 
ISO9.com will greatly assist ANSI in our ability to insure a widespread 
distribution of the complete ISO 9000 family of standards."  Sergio Mazza,
