CAN/CSA-ISO 9000-2-94

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO 9000-2:1993. 1 Scope This part of ISO 9000 gives guidance to enable its users to have improved consistency, precision, clarity and understanding when applying the requirements of the quality systems standards ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003. This part of ISO 9000 is phrased in terms of guidance to the supplier in order to reflect the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003. However, this part of ISO 9000 does not add to, or otherwise change, the requirements of ISo 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003. In a case of conflicting interpretation of ISo 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 on the one hand, and ISO 9000-2 on the other, the interpretation of the text in ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 takes precedence. This part of ISO 9000 is equally applicable to both manufacturing and service industries seeking to implement quality assurance into organizations. In particular, this part of ISO 9000 gives guidance for the following users: a) suppliers and purchasers involved directly in contractual applications of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003; b) sub-contractors who provide to the supplier raw materials, intermediate processing, equipment, services, etc., and who are affected by the application of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003. c) auditors who need to assess and communicate the adequacy of implementation of the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 in a specific situation. The field of application of this part of ISO 9000 corresponds to the field of application of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003.
