Abstract
With the increasing use of ISO 9000, claims have surfaced that the process of certification is being carried out in different ways among the countries of Europe. This situation is already leading to a system of trade barriers as the ISO 9000 certificates, and certification bodies, from some countries are being thought of as being better or worse than others. Explains how an attempt is being made to reconcile these differences, and compares it with other possible strategies.
