Overview: A number of industry experts are saying that some companies will be unable or unwilling to transition to the ISO 9001:2000 standards. Many say that is not bad news, in fact it will likely weed out thousands of companies who probably bought into ISO 9000 just for contractual purposes. This article includes companies presently registered to ISO 9002 or 9003 who elected not to include their design activities in the scope of the third-part registration, and those who view new requirements on customer satisfaction, continual improvement and management commitment as a burden. Although it is likely that some existing certifications will not be upgraded, it is also likely that the service sector will increase their move towards ISO 9000 because it is now easier for them to understand and appreciate its relevance to their work.
