The link between ISO9000, BS5750 and other quality assurance standards
ISO9000 started life as BS5750 a British standard, which was first published in 1979
(BSI, 1990). In the first decade of operation some 10,000 firms in the United Kingdom
registered against BS5750 for all or part of their operation.
Since BS5750 was first produced it has attracted substantial interest in many other
countries. As a result the International Organisation for Standards published the ISO9000
series of five standards in 1987 (ISO, 1987). The ISO9000 series was adopted by the
British Standards Institute without deviation in 1987 (BSI, 1987). Therefore BS5750 and
ISO9000 are now synonymous (BSI Quality Assurance, 1991). ISO9000 is also identical
to the European Standard EN29000 and the Australian Standard AS3900.
