Not knowing that much about it, but, I always considered ISO9000 as a
virus.

Those at the top of the 'food chain' decide that can only buy from
approved suppliers and those suppliers in turn pass the same requirements
to their suppliers and so on.

Is there anything in ISO9000 which requires your suppliers to have ISO9000?
or makes life easier when they have ISO9000? or is it just *** heads
writing the processes which require it and so their ISO9000 approvals
depend on it?
