1 The ISO
9000 World Survey for 2000 reported 11,067 registrations specific to
the Information Technology Sector; this means the estimate
in the above table is most probably accurate when considering that many
software organizations are grouped under other sectors like the aerospace
sector, communication sector, etc.
Note: For forecast calculation regarding ISO 9000 - Software
Specific, refer to the article Software Process
Improvement in Canada and Quality
Digest's ISO 9000 database.
Note: ISO 15504 (SPICE) is still in trials; hence, is
excluded in the above quickview. As of April 1999, there were
over 240 expressions of interest to participate in the Phase 3 trials:
38% in USA, 33% in Europe and South Africa, 15% in Canada and Latin America,
14% in Asia Pacific.
