Overview: The article mentions that latest revision of the up-and-coming telecommunications standard makes a clear connection with ISO 9001:2000. In February 2001, an overwhelming majority approved the revised editions of the TL 9000 Quality Management System Requirements Handbook Release 3.0 and the TL 9000 Quality Management System Measurements Handbook Release 3.0. The new revisions make the telecommunications industry the first to complete the alignment of its sector-specific quality management system requirements with ISO 9001:2000. In fact, because TL 9000 will require a shorter transition period than ISO 9001:2000, the approval of the new TL 9000 editions ensures that ISO 9001:2000 registrations will be given a boost during the remainder of 2001. To migrate from ISO 9001:2000 to TL 9000 Requirements Release 3.0, conform to all TL 9000 additional requirements and measurements within the scope of registration. Thus, with only a few telecom companies having registered to Release 2.5, keeping the transition period short will prevent other service providers and suppliers from delaying their QMS upgrades to ISO 9001:2000 and will streamline the acceptance and widespread use of Release 3.0.
