API Spec Q1


API Spec Q1 mirrors the ISO 9001 format.... but is more similar to AS 9000 and QS 9000 because it contains industry specific quality system requirements An API Spec Q1 audit goes above and beyond an ISO 9000 audit: Links quality system with product or service standards - this is what adds value and differentiates the program
