The ISO 9000 standards can be applied to the design and development of software, just as they do to the manufacture of hard goods and the delivery of services. In such instances, these standards have to be appropriately interpreted because of the more complex nature of the software design, development, distribution and installation process. In 1987, the ISO 9000-3 guidelines were published by the ISO Technical Committee 17 (TC 176) to address these needs of the IT community. See ISO 9000.
