Many people are still confused regarding recent revision of international standard ISO 9001.
Many people believe that ISO 9000 : 2000 is now ISO 9000 : 2008 but this is not true. ISO 9000 is a generic term used for ISO 9000 series of standards. When ISO 9000 series was revised in year 2000 all the three standards (ISO 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 9004) were revised.
The certification is given only for ISO 9001 but it was acceptable to call ISO 9000: 2000 certified or ISO 9001: 2000 certified.
