Revision of BS ISO/IEC 90003:2014: Software engineering - Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001:2008 to computer software
This Standard provides guidance for organizations in the application of ISO 9001:2008 to the acquisition, supply, development, operation, and maintenance of computer software.
The application of BS ISO/IEC 90003:2014 is appropriate to software that is:
- Part of a commercial contract with another organization, 9001
- A product available for a market sector,
- Used to support the processes of an organization,
- Embedded in a hardware product, or
- Related to software services.
Some organizations may be involved in all the above activities; others may specialize in one area. Where the scope of an organization’s activities includes areas other than computer software development, the relationship between the computer software elements of that organization’s quality management system and the remaining aspects should be clearly documented within the quality management system as a whole.
BS ISO/IEC 90003:2014 identifies the issues that should be addressed and is independent of the technology, life cycle models, development processes, sequence of activities and organizational structure used by an organization. Additional guidance and frequent references to the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 software engineering standards are provided to assist in the application of ISO 9001:2008, in particular ISO/IEC 12207:2008.
