ISO 9001
ISO 9001 gives customers and suppliers a single set of guidelines that is accepted worldwide and that can be followed to achieve a definable level of quality. The third-party certification confirms that a company's systems for accepting orders, reviewing customers' specifications, manufacturing and testing products, and delivering those products to its customers are quality controlled and should produce consistent results.
A supplier's ability to conform to the ISO 9001 standard is assessed via the standard's Quality System Requirements- a set of twenty clauses, each designed to address a specific portion of a quality system: management responsibility; quality system; contract review; design control; document control; purchasing; purchaser-supplied product; product identification and traceability; process control; inspection and testing; inspection measuring and test equipment; inspection and test status; control of non-conforming product; corrective action; handling, storage, packaging and delivery; quality records; internal quality audits; training; servicing; and statistical techniques.
Micron's ISO 9001 certificate, number 510006.000, was renewed February 1, 2003, and is valid until February 1, 2009. The scope of the conformity assessment includes Micron's semiconductor business, including the design, manufacturing, electrical and environmental testing, and marketing of semiconductor memory components; the Systems Integration group's operation, including the design, manufacturing and electrical testing of memory modules; and the International Sales offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Taiwan.
