“Being newly introduced to ISO 9000 and given the task to create a conforming quality system at the same time, I found that Randall's Practical Guide to ISO 9000 turned what would have been an impossible task, for me, into a extraordinary learning experience.

For this I praise Richard Randall and his guidance and recommend his book to all who are even slightly interested in ISO.”
