Link to About Isom
In August 1991, when Saddam Hussein's army entered Kuwait, Isom had many contracts at the new King Fahd International Airport project in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. (See Isom's Track Record). Within a month the KFIA site became an American Airbase, with more than 10,000 troops, and Isom's biggest project ground to a halt.

Meeting iso 9001 standards

Although their clients had always considered Isom's work to be of the highest standard, without the ISO 9000 (At that time it was BS5750) quality assurance mark, it was difficult to develop their market to include some of the biggest users of high standard Technical Documentation. Isom decided to use the slack period to work towards ISO 9000 and had little difficulty in understanding the jargon of the standard. Within five months of starting Isom had achieved accreditation.

At that time, it seemed there were many rogue consultants making a living by supplying QA systems that were over large and complicated for the user. Isom decided their experience could help companies understand the requirements of ISO 9000 and decided to write their own guide to the Standard -Isom's Quality Handbook. This publication describes in simple English what is required to fulfill each clause of the standard, illustrated by examples from their own Quality System.
