DR 96048

Proposes 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 phased approach and gives guidance on internal auditing of a phased quality system. Proposed as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard.
