    - The 20 requirements/clauses of ISO 9001 are as follows:

    Clause No ---- Tile of requirement
    4.1 ---- Management responsibility
    4.2 ---- Quality System
    4.3 ---- Contract Review
    4.4 ---- Design Control
    4.5 ---- Document and Control
    4.6 ---- Purchasing
    4.7 ---- Control of Customer supplied product
    4.8 ---- Product Identification and traceability
    4.9 ---- Process Control
    4.10 ---- Inspection and Testing
    4.11 ---- Control of Inspection, Measuring and Test equipment
    4.12 ---- Inspection and Test status
    4.13 ---- Control of Non-Conforming products
    4.14 ---- Corrective and preventive action
    4.15 ---- Handling, Storage, Packing, Preservation and Delivery
    4.16 ---- Control of Quality Records
    4.17 ---- International Quality Audits
    4.18 ---- Training
    4.19 ---- Servicing
    4.20 ---- Statistical Techniques

    - According to the certification of ISO 9001, 9002 or 9003 the 20 separate clauses are fairly easy to relate to organisations.

    - Most are directly related to the purchasing Quality Management and some are less applicable than others to the organisation.
