ASUS has ISO accreditation?

[Guest]

I thought an ISO accreditation meant that a company is conforming to certain quality standards. So if the quality does not match the certificate, how did asus get its accreditation ? Did they pay for it ? or can u get them in cereal packets ?

Read the fine print of their ISO certification... It is for anti-polution standards NOT for manufacturing.

Without standards for revisions (and Asus flat out refuses to publish revision information), part number standards, production standards or QC standards Asus will never make ISO 9001 or 9002 certification requirements.

While I love Asus engineering skills, I'm really beginning to despise the fact that if I order two motherboards two days apart, I might not get the same product. This is where ISO certification comes in. Under ISO 9001/9002 you would always get the exact same product every time. Or, they have to would change the part number to identify the fact that SOMETHING in the box had changed.

If you look for QUALITY in manufacturing, look for the ISO 9001/9002 Certification. It goes to prove that the OEM is following a PUBLISHED set of standards and that they have done their homework regarding internal procedures and have a documented paper trail for product evolution.
