ISO 7779 is concerned with acoustics, measurement of airborne noise emitted by information technology and telecommunications equipment. ISO 9001: 2000 sets out the requirements for a company's quality management systems. These standards range from manufacturing to services including design and development, production, installation and servicing. ISO 9001: 2000 standards have replaced the 1994 ISO 9000 standards. ISO 13485 is concerned with medical devices, quality management systems and requirements for regulatory purposes. ISO 14000 is primarily concerned with "environmental management." This means what the organization does to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and continually to improve its environmental performance. ISO 17025 outlines the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. ISO 17020 outlines the general requirements for the competence of inspector or inspection bodies. | ||
| ISO 9001 | ISO 9001 sets out the requirements for a company's quality management systems. These standards range from manufacturing to services including design and development, production, installation and servicing. ISO 9001:2008 is the latest quality management system standard, which supersedes the earlier ISO 9001: 2004 and 1994 ISO 9000 standards. | ||
| ISO 13485/8 | ISO 13485/8 outlines the general requirements for quality management systems for medical device suppliers and related services. ISO 13485/8 provides requirements for design, development, production, installation and servicing of medical devices. | ||
| ISO 14001 | ISO 14001 provides an internationally recognized framework for environmental management, measurement, evaluation and auditing. ISO 14001 does not prescribe environmental performance targets, but provides organizations with the tools to assess and control the impact of their activities, products or services on the environment. The term "ISO 14000" refers to a family of standards: ISO 14000:1996, ISO 14001:1996, and ISO 14004:1996. ISO 14000:1996 contains vocabulary and definitions. ISO 14001:1996 contains the actual requirements with which an organization needs to comply in order to become certified. ISO 14004:1996 contains guidelines for the development and implementation of environmental management systems and principles. | ||
| ISO/TS 16949:2002 | ISO/TS 16949:2002 is an ISO Technical Specification that aligns existing American (QS-9000), German (VDA6.1), French (EAQF) and Italian (AVSQ) automotive quality systems standards for the global automotive industry. | ||
| ISO 17025 | ISO 17025 outlines the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. | ||
| OHSAS 18001 | OHSAS 18001 is the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment System standard developed by a number of countries to address health and safety issues. OHSAS 18001 is loosely based on the ISO 14001:1996 Environmental Management System standard, although OHSAS 18001 is not an ISO standard. | ||
| RC 14001 | The American Chemistry Council (ACC) established the RC 14001 as a Technical Specification for Responsible Care Programs or management systems for both environmental and health and safety. The RC 14000 specification incorporates all ISO 14001 Standard requirements. Community outreach, and distribution. Key aspects of RC 14000 compliant systems include community outreach and distribution. | ||
| RoHS | Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl, and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006. | ||
| SA 8000 | SA8000, an international standard for assessing the social accountability of companies, outlines audit requirements to evaluate workplace conditions. The workplace conditions are inspected for child labor, forced labor, health and safety, freedom of association, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, compensation and management’s responsibility to maintain and improve working conditions. SA8000 is not an ISO-series standard. UL is not accredited to perform certification assessments to SA8000; non-certification assessments to the requirements of SA8000 may be performed though CITS. | ||
| TL 9000 | TL 9000 provides quality system requirements for telecommunications hardware, software and services providers. The QuEST forum (The Quality Excellence for Suppliers of Telecommunications Leadership) originally developed the TL 9000 requirements using ISO 9000 as a baseline. | ||

| Semiconductors / IC Packages | Semiconductor, microelectronics and IC package testing includes testing at the wafer, die or packaged IC level. Semiconductor and IC package testing suppliers often provide wafer sort and packaging services in addition to component evaluation. In the packaging process, fabricated wafers are cut into dies and then "packaged" in a lead frame or other system, which protects the chip and allows interconnection to the electronic circuit on the PCB, module or product. Wafer sort is wafer level testing where the individual dies are tested for defects and then marked before the packaging process. Defective dies are rejected, which avoids unnecessary packaging costs. After the packaging and interconnect is complete, the packaged device may be put through additional functional or burn-in testing often using automated test equipment (ATE). | ||
| Valves / Pumps | Suppliers test valves or pumps. | ||
| Specialty / Other | Other unlisted industry applications. | ||
