Quality ISO 9000:1994
The ISO 9000:1994 series of standards have now been replaced by the ISO 9000:2000 series. The IAF deadline for transfer of certified organizations to the new standard is Diciembre 2003, however IRCA recognizes that some organizations will continue using standards based on the 1994 specifications and to support such organizations, we intend to maintain the QMS (1994) certificación de auditores program to meet demand.
The IRCA QMS 1994 program supports the third party certification of ISO 9001:2000 based quality management systems. We certify different categories of auditors - those employed by certification body/registrars, consultants and internal auditors - as well as developing and promoting good auditor training and auditing best practice.
Benefits to organizations
- Confidence that IRCA certified auditors have the appropriate training and skills
Benefits to certification bodies
- Re-assurance that IRCA auditors are competent to audit organizations' quality management systems for certification to ISO 9000:1994 and that IRCA auditors are committed to continuing professional development
Benefits to auditors

Our QMS 1994 program is based on these standards:

- ISO 9002:1994 Quality Systems - model for quality assurance in development production, installation and servicing
