The ISO 9001 standard
ISO 9001 is the quality assurance standard that applies to software engineering. The standard contains 20 requirements that must be present for an effective quality assurance system. Because the ISO 9001 standard is applicable in all engineering disciplines, a special set of ISO guidelines have been developed to help interpret the standard for use in the software process.

The 20 requirements delineated by ISO9001 address the following topic.
1.   Management responsibility
2.   Quality system
3.   Contract review
4.   Design control
5.   Document and data control
6.   Purchasing
7.   Control of customer supplied product
8.   Product identification and tractability
9.   Process control
10.   Inspection and testing
11.   Control of inspection, measuring, and test equipment
12.   Inspection and test status
13.   Control of non confirming product
14.   Corrective and preventive action
15.   Handling, storage, packing, preservation, and delivery
16.   Control of quality records
17.   Internal quality audits
18.   Training
19.   Servicing
20.   Statistical techniques
In order for a software organization to become registered to ISO 9001, it must establish policies and procedure to address each of the requirement noted above and then be able to demonstrate that these policies and procedures are being followed
