ISO 9001 is part of the ISO 9000 series of international standards specifying compliance guidelines for a quality management system.
No, I don't understand what that means either. Even after reading those Wikipedia articles.
All I know is that a lot of businesses seem to want to be known as "ISO 9001 compliant", presumably because it carries some sort of l337 8izn355 5killz cachet that will make their clients choose them rather than their rivals. It seems to involve some sort of standards guidelines that are applied to an industrial process to make sure it's all clean and safe and produces products that actually do what they're supposed to do - which sounds like a good idea in principle. It also sounds like something that no company actually does.
Anyway, I'm not sure you can apply ISO 9000 series standards to a document, as opposed to an industrial process, but since when has logic ever stopped the US government from doing anything?
It sounds like I was closer to clever biting political satire with this strip than I'd hoped.
Yep. A guy who makes LEGO webcomics is also making your international photography standards. Be afraid.
