| ISO 9001:2015 was designed to include many ambiguous/vague requirements because the responsible committee ([[https://www.iso.org/committee/53896.html|ISO TC176/SC2]]) was convinced that in order for the standard to be accepted by a large international user base, it must recognize //cultural relativism//. Cultural relativism is the idea that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be judged against the criteria of another.

| Consequently, interpretation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 changes when crossing cultural boundaries. Or, stated another way, interpretation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 could be "//country dependent//". | Consequently, interpretation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 changes when crossing cultural boundaries. And since culture is most often rooted in socio-political beliefs, economy, laws, regulations, etc., interpretation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 are often "//nation dependent//". |
