ISO

Examples of ISO in the following topics:

• Quality Inspections and Standards

  • They were the ISO 9000:1987 series of standards, comprising ISO 9001:1987, ISO 9002:1987, and ISO 9003:1987; which were applicable in different types of industries, based on the type of activity or process (designing, production, or service delivery).
  • The version in 1994 was called the ISO 9000:1994 series; consisting of the ISO 9001:1994, 9002:1994 and 9003:1994 versions.
  • The ISO 9002 and 9003 standards were integrated into one single certifiable standard: ISO 9001:2008.
  • The ISO 9004:2009 document gives guidelines for performance improvement over and above the basic standard (ISO 9001:2000).
  • One group describes processes (including ISO/IEC 12207 & ISO/IEC 15288), and another describes process assessment and improvement (ISO 15504).

• Quality awards and standards

  • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sponsors a certification process for organizations that seek to learn and adopt superior methods for quality practice (ISO 9000) and environmentally responsible products and methods of production (ISO 14000).
  • These certifications are increasingly used by organizations of all sizes to compete more effectively in a global marketplace due to the wide acceptance of ISO certification as a criterion for supplier selection.
  • ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 are described on the ISO web page at: http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm .
  • The ISO 9000 family addresses "quality management".
  • The ISO 14000 family addresses "environmental management".

• Melodic Keyboard-Style Voice-Leading

  • So ISO Octave 4 (middle C up to the B above it) uses lower case letters:
  • ISO Octave 6 takes two primes (c'), Octave 7 three primes (c'), etc.

• Photography: Recording an Image

  • ISO - The sensitivity of the film to light.
  • However in digital cameras, the ISO equivalency is controlled in the camera itself, as there is no real film being used.
  • A film with a rating of ISO 800, for example, will be eight times more sensitive to light than one of ISO 100.
  • A higher ISO is useful in low light environments.
  • However, increasing the ISO will affect the quality of the image: in film the images become grainy, and in digital the image becomes noisier, with more undesirable speckles.

• Using Trinket (Interactive Music Notation)

  • So ISO Octave 4 (middle C up to the B above it) uses lower case letters:
  • ISO Octave 6 takes two primes (c'), Octave 7 three primes (c'), etc.

• Pitches

  • We will follow the International Standards Organization (ISO) system for register designations.
  • Note that a complete designation contains both the pitch-class name (a letter name plus an optional sharp or flat) and the register (the ISO number indicating the octave in which the pitch is found).

• Total Quality Management (TQM)

  • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sponsors a certification process for organizations that seek to learn and adopt superior methods for quality practice (ISO 9000) and environmentally responsible products and methods of production (ISO 14000).
  • These certifications are increasingly used by organizations of all sizes to compete more effectively in a global marketplace due to the wide acceptance of ISO certification as a criterion for supplier selection.

• Environmental audits

  • Comparing audit results to industry standards (such as ISO 14001 standards and guidelines), and

• Scales and Scale Degrees

  • While ISO notation allows us to label a pitch in its specific register, it is often useful to know where that pitch fits within a given scale.
  • The illustration below shows a D-major scale and corresponding ISO notation, scale degrees, and solfège syllables.

• Isotopes
