Tag, Jerry I assumed that since the context of the article was about Software Process Control ( he went on about CMM etc ) that what he probably meant was the ISO SPICE effort : http://www-sqi.cit.gu.edu.au/spice/welcome.html rather than ISO 9001 per se ( 9001 being the ISO standard on Software Engineering, 9000 being general Quality Provisions). AS 3567 is the Australian equivalent anyway for Oz lurkers. That's why I just referred to 'the ISO standard' in my reply. Tot Struiks
