It will soon be necessary for U.S. operators to show evidence of meeting European quality standards in order to be competitive for business within the European Economic Community. The maintenance organization at Ethyl Corp.'s Houston plant has taken such steps with ISO 9000 certification. ISO 9000 is a series of quality management and assurance standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Established in 1987, ISO 9000 through 9004 provide an effective method for auditing and registering quality systems in a large variety of operations in many countries of the world. The certification of the aluminum alkyls manufacture is the ISO 9000 pilot project. After a general background discussion of the ISO 9000 quality systems, the efforts of the Houston plant's maintenance organization in obtaining ISO 9002 certification is discussed in this paper.
