*ISO 9001 certification and ISO 9000 certification are terms are often interchanged. In truth, a company can only be certified under ISO 9001. References to the standard like 9000 ISO (and related functions such as ISO 9000 training and procedures) typically refers to that entire series of ISO standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 9004, etc rather than a specific ISO implementation such as ISO 9001:2008.
