The revised and adopted module ISO 9001 2000 makes the quality system management requirements extremely clear. The review of Tables 1 and 2, under the heading Correspondence between ISO 9001 (1994) and ISO 9001 2000, reveals that the same processes are specified in both standards, even though they have different names and subheadings. The quality system requirements in ISO 9001 2000 are comprehensively grouped under clause 7 with additional emphasis on customer satisfaction and internal communication. Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this international standard are not acceptable unless these exclusions are limited to the requirements within clause 7. Such exclusions do not affect the organization s ability or responsibility to provide products that fulfill customer and applicable regulatory requirements.

Another approach is to use a carefully selected standard platinum alloy for which the constants in Eqs. (6) and (8) are well known. In the mid-1980s, the International Electrotechnical Commission (lEC) recommended that ITS-90 be based on the Callendar-van Dusen interpolation formula and proposed constants for a Ft resistor with = 100 O A = 3.90802 X 10 5=-5.802 X 10 C =-4.27350 X 10 (or a = 0.00385, 8 = 1.50701, /3 = 0.111). The platinum wire used in platinum resistance thermometers that conform to this proposed standard is a platinum alloy containing small amounts of several different elements (mostly noble metals) adjusted so as to achieve the required a = 0.00385 K . This alloy is now widely used in Europe and by some American manufacturers of resistance thermometers note, however, that other American firms use a wire for which a = 0.00392 K . In spite of the fact that this lEC proposal was not adopted, the Callendar-van Dusen constants given above are a guide to appropriate values, which can always be checked by calibration. 

Industrial resistance thermometers are also the subject of a number of national and international standards, which describe both cahbration constants and classes of accuracy and interchangeabihty. lEC pubhcation 751 was revised in 1976 to conform to ITS-90, and national standards will be revised to conform to this document. lEC 751 uses the fixed-poiat values of ITS-90 with the simpler algorithm of IPTS-48 ... 

The International ISO 9000 1994 series of standards has been established and is based on the British Standard 5750 1987 series, European Standard EN 29000 1987 series, and International Standard ISO 9000 1987 series. The third edition of ISO 9001 cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9000 1994) together with ISO 9002 1994 and ISO 9003 1994. It constitutes a revision of these documents. Those organizations that have used ISO 9002 1994 and ISO 9003 1994 in the past may use this revised international standard by excluding certain requirements in accordance with Clause 1.2 of ISO 9001 2000. It should be noted that where the exclusives in sub-clause 1.2 of ISO/EDIS 9001 2000 are exceeded, conformity to ISO/EDIS 9001 2000 shall not be cleared. All requirements of the revised standard are generic and are applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size, and products offered. If any requirements of this international standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an organization, its products can be considered for exclusion. 

The company has established and maintained the following documented quality system as a means of ensuring that the product/services conform to specified requirements of this international standard. 

The internal audits at planned intervals determine whether the quality management system conforms to the planned arrangements of the requirements of this international standard and to the quality management system requirements established by the organization, and are effectively implemented and maintained. 

Every analytical laboratory should have its own reference materials for internal quality assurance, and such materials should conform to the same standards of appropriateness, homogeneity and long term stability as are required for certified reference materials (see section "preparation of reference materials). In practice, however, most analytical laboratories do not use their own "in-house" reference materials for internal quality assurance but rather rely on internationally available reference materials. In the opinion of the present author, this is undesirable since much larger amounts are required for internal quality assurance than for externai quality assurance, and thereby the available stocks of expensively prepared certified reference materials will be consumed much too quickly. 

We also expect our business partners -paper mills, printers, packaging manufacturers, etc. - to commit themselves to using materials and production processes that do not harm the environment. The paper in this book is made from low- or no-chlorine pulp and is acid free, in conformance with international standards for paper permanency. 

An important property of chain molecules is that a major contribution to the standard entropy is conformational in nature, i.e. is due to hindered internal rotations around single bonds. This property is most relevant to cyclisation phenomena, since a significant change of conformational entropy is expected to take place upon cyclisation. Pitzer (1940) has estimated that the entropy contribution on one C—C internal rotor amounts to 4.43 e.u, A slightly different estimate, namely, 4.52 e.u. has been reported by Person and Pimentel (1953). Thus, it appears that nearly one-half of the constant CH2 increment of 9.3 e.u. arises from the conformational contribution of the additional C—C internal rotor.

The best known international quality management standard seems to be the so-called DIN EN ISO 9001 ff. standard. ISO standards are agreements developed by technical committees. Since the members of these committees come from many countries, ISO standards tend to have very broad support. Conformance to that is said to guarantee that a company provides quality services and products. This standard was amended in 2000, so the current standard is called DIN EN ISO 9000 2000. 

In spite of the universal character of the Vickers hardness tester, all three methods are used equivalently, as required. An example is a portable, battery-fed device with interchangeable Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell indenters resting on a piezoelectric crystal plate manufactured by Engineering and Scientific Equipment Ltd. (Fig. 4.3.10, Table 4.3.4). With this outfit, measurements can be carried out conforming to techniques recommended by, national and international standards (BS, ASTM, DIN, AFNOR). 

Since 1998, all medical devices marketed in Europe (EEA) must bear the CE mark, which signifies conformity to the essential requirements of the MDD. The MDD harmonized the European requirements along with device certification and the inspection procedures for manufacturers to ensure the highest degree of safety and product quality of the medical devices throughout the EC. Most important was the requirement for a full quality assurance system (Annex II of the MDD, 93/42/EEC), which included design controls for new medical device products. This was in line with the ISO 9000 series of standards established for quality systems by the International Organization for Standardization. 

This analytical dilemma and the non-conformity of test results obtained for complex, heterogeneous measurands stimulated a movement towards standardization implemented by various international organizations such as the IFCC (Table 6). All these efforts tried to follow metrologically established rules according to the International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology (VIM) [38] and ISO-CEN standards (Table 7)...
