AS 4500-1997

Full Description

Sets out a three-phased approach to implementing an AS/NZS ISO 9000 quality system. The Clauses of AS/NZS ISO 9001 (and AS/NZS ISO 9002) are distributed across three modules. Phase I is achieved by implementing the Clauses contained in any one module; Phase II, the Clauses contained in any two modules. Phase III, achieved when all three modules are implemented, gives a complete AS/NZS ISO 9000 quality system. Contains advice on the risks associated with the phases approach and gives guidance on auditing of a phased quality system. See more
