What is the difference between ISO 9000 standards and IS/ISO 9000 standards?
There is no difference. They are exactly the same. BIS has adopted the above mentioned ISO 9000 standards and these are numbered as IS/ISO 9000:2000; IS/ISO 9001:2000; IS/ISO 9004:2000; and IS/ISO 19011:2002. These standards published by BIS are exact replica of ISO 9000 standards. BIS also provides certification against IS/ISO 9001:2000 under its Management Systems Certification activity.
