-NAZI Germany (1933-1945) had an economic policy called, "//Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz//," meaning "//Common good comes before self-interest//". This Socialist concept was so integral to NAZI society that it was inscribed around the edge of every NAZI Reichsmark coin.

 For ISO 9001:2015, and several other ISO management system standards, this was primarily accomplished through “ISO/IEC Directives – Part 1” (Annex SL) mandating standardized language to be used in ALL ISO management system standards. This was done under the pretext of promoting consistency in integrated management systems.
-After some joint ISO/IEC management system standards (e.g. ISO 17020, ISO/IEC 17025) refused to adopt the Annex SL format, the “ISO/IEC Directives – Part 1” was revised (2019-05) such that Annex SL was re-named Annex L and its scope expanded to include IEC standards (in effect, “strong-arming” them). From the perspective of the standards developers opposing “ISO/IEC Directives – Part 1”, perhaps ISO should modify their logo to more closely resemble the Federation logo seen in [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708438/|"Star Trek: The Original Series", season 2, episode 4 titled "Mirror, Mirror"]].

-An example of how ISO promotes communist and socialist ideologies can be found when reading ISO 9001:2015, sec. 4.2 “Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties”. And it accounts for the following definition being completely incongruent with businesses operating in a free society with a free-market economy (the “Example” having been added by TC 176).

+The IEC "revolt" was successful... and by 2022 ISO reverted to Annex SL in “ISO/IEC Directives – Part 1”. This removed the obligation for IEC to adhere to the annex. However, ISO then turned its attention to the revision of ISO 9001 where its membership voted to "retain" the 2015 version. Frustrated with this vote, ISO responded with a marketing campaign focused on convincing its members that there were compelling reasons to revise the standard. After having a second vote, the membership again voted to "retain" the 2015 version. In order to comply with their own rules (regarding a review of each standard every 5 years), ISO "re-confirmed" ISO 9001:2015 in 2021. With the next review scheduled to be completed by 2025, ISO immediately began to campaign for an "early" revision to ISO 9001. We shall see how that plays out.
+==== How ISO 9001 promotes Globalism ====
+The web page from which ISO provides [[https://www.iso.org/standard/62085.html|ISO 9001 for purchase]], includes the following immediately below the "General Information" section for the standard:

+The boxes at the bottom of the graphic above correspond with the following UN [[https://www.iso.org/sdgs.html|Sustainable Development Goals]]: \\
+- [[https://www.iso.org/sdg/SDG01.html|No Poverty]] (End poverty in all its forms everywhere) \\
+– [[https://www.iso.org/sdg/SDG09.html|Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure]] (Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation) \\
+– [[https://www.iso.org/sdg/SDG12.html|Responsible Consumption and Production]] (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) \\
+– [[https://www.iso.org/sdg/SDG14.html|Life Below Water]] (Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development)
+If you're unfamiliar with the language used by Globalists, the above goals all point toward a [[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/centrally-planned-economy.asp|Centrally Planned Economy]]... which is inconsistent with a free market economy.
+One example of how ISO promotes communist and socialist ideologies can be found when reading ISO 9001:2015, sec. 4.2 “Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties”. And it accounts for the following definition being completely incongruent with businesses operating in a free society with a free-market economy (the “Example” having been added by TC 176).

 Also, ISO 9001:2015, Annex A.3 states:
 <blockquote>“There is no requirement in this International Standard for the organization to consider interested parties where it has decided that those parties are not relevant to its quality management system. It is for the organization to decide if a particular requirement of a relevant interested party is relevant to its quality management system.”</blockquote>
+===== Which Country is "Really" Driving ISO 9001:2015 =====
+When looking at [[https://www.statista.com/statistics/1266494/iso-9001-certs-globally-by-country/|countries holding the largest number of ISO 9001:2015 certificates]], this answer becomes obvious...

-A departure from the Hu-Wen administration's approach to innovation and technology upgrading, the “Made in China 2025" initiative was launched in 2015; which coincided with the release of ISO 9001:2015. In many respects, the launch of this initiative reflected a response to the weakness of (1) Chinese manufacturing capabilities relative to global leaders, and (2) the lack of Chinese innovation. It was also a reaction to the realization that other low-cost (low skill) nations were entering the global market.
