Default GRP lifespan

Actually, the ISO9000 standard is more about documenting what you do
rather than the actual quality of the result. Here's a good, simple
link... http://praxiom.com/iso-9001


NO!

ISO 9001:2000 is less documentation than previous standards eg.
ISO9001:1994, BS5750. In fact you will often hear it quoted that 9001:2000
can be built around 6 procedures !.(If you read the standard you will only
find it says "Shall have a documented procedure 6 times) in escence you have
to define your processes(flow charts).

With all the standards you will have to keep documented records (drawings,
test results, training records..........) but even without the standards you
would have these.

9001:2000 was designed to reduce the document burden on companies (although
sometimes the auditors have the opposite effect, but this is not the fault
of the standard)
