What about ISO 9000?

Again there seems to be confusion about the ISO 9000 series of certifications. The ISO in essence is not a guarantee of good quality and is not given to an object but to a company. 

ISO9000 is , in lays terms, a system that removes anarchy from management or production, making sure that things are made always the same and with the same quality, which is not a mean feat. 

It does not guarantee that the products are good but with a constant in quality. If a manufacturer makes a good gizmo or widget, the ISO 9000 certificate guarantee that it will always be good. For the same token if someone makes a bad product the ISO will ensure that is always bad. A combination of ISO 9000 and laboratory certificates on a product is the surest way to ascertain that an object, an illuminator in this case, is good and will remain so.
