TL 9000 Background TL 9000 is a quality management standard designed by the QuEST Forum in 1998 to enhance quality management practices across the telecommunications section. It defines a set of performance-based measurements to evaluate the results of QMS implementation. QBS Quality Business Solutions Inc. 3
TL 9000 Background QuEST Forum is a collaboration of information and communication technologies (ICT) service providers and suppliers across the world who are dedicated to improving operational and supply chain quality and performance. It provides benchmarking data to participating companies against a set of defined measurements. QBS Quality Business Solutions Inc. 4
Fitting into the ISO 9001 Framework. ISO 9001 is intended to be compatible with other internationally recognized standards: Currently aligned with ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, QuEST Form has made the commitment to keep pace with the ISO 9001 Standard. QBS Quality Business Solutions Inc. 5
Scope of ISO 9001 The ISO 9001 standard specifies requirements for a Quality Management system where an organization needs: To demonstrate ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
