Now you have a good understanding of the evolution of ISO 9001.

I wish I was joking.

Then there was one iteration in which the focus shifted from detecting problems to preventing them. Fine.

But then it went off the rails, to where the only thing you can now get certified on is the QM *system*, so you get audited on the quality of the system to ensure quality. Nuts.
