This part of ANSI/ISO/ASQC 49000 gives guidance
on the application of the 1994 versions of ANSI/ISO/
ASQC Q9001, ANSI/ISO/ASQC 49002 and ANSI/
ISO/ASQC 49003.
It does not add to, or otherwise change, the requirements
of ANSI/ISO/ASQC 4900 1, ANSI/ISO/ASQC
Q9002 or ANSI/ISO/ASQC 49003. In case of conflicting
interpretations of ANSI/ISO/ASQC 49001,
ANSYISO/ASQC 49002 or ANSVISO/ASQC 49003 on
the one hand, and ANSI/ISO/ASQC 49000-2 on the
other, the interpretation of the text in ANSI/ISO/ASQC
4900 1, ANSI/ISO/ASQC Q9002 or ANSI/ISO/ASQC
49003 takes precedence. The use of “should’ in this part
of the ANSI/ISO/ASQCQ 9OOO does not weaken ther equirements
expressed as “shall” in ANSI/ISO/ASQC Q9001,
ANSVISO/ASQC 49002 or ANSI/ISO/ASQC Q9003.
This part of ANSI/ISO/ASQC Q9000 gives guidance
for the following users:
a) suppliers involved in applications of ANSI/ISO/
ASQC Q9001, ANSI/ISO/ASQC 49002 or ANSI/
ISO/ASQC Q9003;
b) customers and third parties.
