If a chosen supplier was weak on the controls of their measurement equipment (calibration), and hence QC/inspection results, that specific requirement would be invoked in the contract. The ISO 9001 requirements could be tailored to meet specific contractual situations, depending on the complexity of product, business type (design responsibility, manufacture only, distribution, servicing etc.) and risk to the procurer. This helped reduce the need for subcontract supplier quality development by establishing basic requirements for a supplier to assure product quality. In the early days, the ISO 9001 (90) requirements were intended to be used by procuring organizations, such as contractors and design activities, as the basis of contractual arrangements with their suppliers. The global adoption of ISO 9001 may be attributable to a number of factors. Eventually, industries adopted ISO 9000 instead of forcing contractors to adopt multiple-and often similar-requirements. Large organizations that supplied government procurement agencies often had to comply with a variety of quality assurance requirements for each contract awarded, which led the defense industry to adopt mutual recognition of NATO AQAP, MIL-Q, and Def Stan standards. However, its history can be traced back some twenty years before that, to the publication of government procurement standards, such as the United States Department of Defense MIL-Q-9858 standard in 1959, and the UK's Def Stan 05-21 and 05–24. It was based on the BS 5750 series of standards from BSI that were proposed to ISO in 1979. ISO 9000 was first published in 1987 by ISO ( International Organization for Standardization).
