Presque tous les hébergeurs web offrent maintenant un plan illimité, espace, bande, domaines … tout est infini. Mais comment est-ce possible ? Il y a surement une arnaque (y’en a toujours une) ! surtout avec le nombre croissant de ces hébergeurs et avec leurs compagnes de marketing agressives tout devient compliqué.

Deux ans pas très calmes avec mon ex-hébergeur hostmonster que je viens de laisser tomber m’ont aidé à voir plus clair. Alors commeçons par le commencement : hostmonster a bloqué mon site plusieurs fois pour avoir « causé des problèmes de performance à leurs serveurs », et pourtant … je payais un plan « Unlimited » ! L’arnaque L’astuce se situe dans le fameux TOS (terms of service). En y cherchant, on y trouve des clauses qui définissent la signification de « Unlimited », et devinez quoi, ce n’est pas la définition du dictionnaire ! En somme, ils disent que les ressources doivent être utilisées de manière rationnelle, ils font souvent usage du terme « normal use », C’est subjectif diriez vous ? Oui et c’est justement ce qui leur donne une large marge de manœuvre : ils peuvent ajuster le niveau « de normalité » à leur guise et stopper tous les comptes qui menacent la « normalité » des serveurs.

Ceci dit, j’ai rassemblé ici quelques quelques conseils et astuces, qui – j’espère – vous permettront d’avoir une meilleure expérience que la mienne !

1. Si vous voulez avoir votre propre site et si vous débutez optez pour un hébergement gratuit, ceci vous donnera une bonne expérience des technologies et programmes existant sans dépenser un frank.
2. Si vous avez un peu d’expérience et peu d’argent (vous devez en avoir un peu quand même) optez pour un plan illimité, le rapport qualité prix est bon, il faut cependant savoir que votre serveur hébergera en plus de votre site quelques 1500 à 2000 autres sites (le mien sur hostmonster faisait 2011 sites !), c’est ce que l’on appelle le « shared hosting ». Ne rêvez pas de ressources illimitées comme ils disent et sachez que si l’un parmi les 2K sites fait le malin, l’ensemble en paie les frais car vous partagez tous la même machine et la même IP, mais ne vous alarmez pas trop, car justement, les hébergeurs tiennent les commandes et punissent tous les bad boys.
3. Si vous êtes un professionnel du web, vous allez opter pour un VPS ou un serveur dédié, mais ceci vous le savez déjà et je me demande d’ailleurs ce que vous foutez encore ici !
4. Ne jamais enregistrer vos noms de domaines chez votre hébergeur car le jour ou votre compte sera bloqué, le management de tous vos domaines le sera aussi. Ils seront en quelque sorte pris « en otage » le temps que vous vous soumettiez aux ordres.
5. Avant d’opter pour un package « illimité », demandez et comparer les détails, tous les packages « illimités » se ressemblent mais sont différents, faites des check-lists, vérifiez les versions de php, de MySql, la possibilité de faire des cron jobs, ftp, l’accès SSH …
6. N’hésitez pas à chatter avec eux pour voir leur degré de sérieux, vérifiez qu’il ne s’agit pas de robots (chat bots) qui vous guident dans une conversation pour vous donner ensuite un lien ou un numéro de téléphone. Posez toutes les questions possibles, c’est leur job de vous répondre. Mon hébergeur actuel veut me facturer $20 par an pour l’accès SSH et je l’ai découvert après coup car je n’ai pas posé la question avant, pourtant, d’autres hébergeurs offrent SSH gratuitement !
7. Un hébergeur sérieux devrait aussi avoir un forum public ou les clients peuvent exposer leurs problèmes et échanger leurs expériences. Pas de forum veut dire pas de ressources humaines nécessaires pour le faire tourner ou bien trop de problèmes pour être exposés en public.
8. Optez pour ceux qui offrent « cPanel » comme outil de gestion. Ce dernier c’est le standard dans l’industrie. Il permet la gestion très confortable des sites et regroupe toutes les taches possibles en un seul et unique endroit. Certains hébergeurs offrent une Démo de leur panneau de contrôle, essayez-le, c’est aussi important que les autres critères. Une minorité offrent des solutions maison, mais ce n’est presque toujours pas aussi réussi que cPanel. En plus, si un jour vous changez, vous ne serez pas perdus.
9. Les informations personnelles que vous donnez doivent être correctes : les hébergeurs on une responsabilité juridique et donc l’obligation de vérifier avec qui ils traitent. Ils vous laisseront payer, puis vous demanderont des preuves d’identité et à défaut, vous diront bye sans vous rembourser car vous auriez enfreint une clause du TOS sur lequel vous vous êtes engagés.
10. Ne vous fiez pas trop aux informations que vous trouvez dans les sites du genre « top 10 hosting review » ou « best hosting companies » ils sont presque tous des représentants commerciaux des boites d’hébergement et leurs analyses sont presque tout le temps baisées. Vous allez même trouver dans ces sites des témoignages d’utilisateurs « heureux et satisfaits », détrompez vous et vérifiez que les liens sur lesquels vous allez cliquer ne sont pas des « affiliate links » car si oui, tout l’article est bidon. Pour l’information, ces sites sont partout car l’hébergement (surtout le shared hosting) est très lucratif, il suffit d’imaginer 2000 sites sur un serveur (qui coute dans les $5000), l’abonnement est à $50 minimum par an, je vous laisse faire le calcul ! et puis pour voir les commissions, allez sur n’importe quel site d’hébergeur et cherchez le lien « Affiliates » et vous verrez par vous-mêmes.
11. Ne donnez pas trop d’importance aux bonus du genre « Crédits Google AdWords, Yahoo, Miva ou M$… ». S’il est vrai que vous aller bénéficier de $50 de crédits pour publier des annonces et faire connaitre votre site, l’ouverture même d’un compte est souvent payante et vous devez en général donner votre numéro de carte de crédit. Donc, personnellement je ne considère pas ça comme un gros atout dans l’offre d’un hébergeur.

Finalement, quand vous décidez de foncer essayez ceci : Allez remplir les formulaires mais annulez au dernier moment et sans compléter vos information financières, validez puis fermez le navigateur. Un bon nombre d’hébergeurs essaient de rattraper les ventes ratées et soit vous sortent un pop-up avec une proposition de 50% de remise soit un « Responsable » de chez eux vous contacte par mail pour vous faire la même offre. Essayez aussi de chercher dans le web, des « coupons de réduction », ces coupons permettent aussi de faire de grosses économies.

Fring est un petit programme gratuit (mais pas open-source) pour mobiles (Symbian et iPhone) et qui permet de se connecter à une panoplie de services online et réseaux sociaux tels que Twitter,  Facebook, MSN, Skype, Gmail, Orkut … Ses éditeurs viennent même d’ajouter Last.fm aux services offerts.

J’utilise Fring depuis plus d’une année notamment car c’était le premier programme pour symbian a implémenter correctement un client Skype. Je viens de faire une découverte fort intéressante. J’ai pensé utile de la partager : Fring est ‘Made in Israël‘ ou du moins et pour être objectif, les serveurs Fring sont en Israël.

Les partisans de la théorie du complot diront que c’est le prix du ‘ballouchi’, Fring a accès à toutes nos informations personnelles et confidentielles (ce qui est d’ailleurs vrai), Israël nous espionne, etc. Je dirai simplement que c’est bon à savoir. Après, si vous décidez de partager les cochonneries Facebook avec les gars de Fring c’est vos ognons !

L’éternel va tout basculer pour déplacer l’écoulement de la sableuse balistique. Je vais donner un coup de pied dur. Vous devez l’attraper sans vous servir de votre équipier Zoulou, antique et justifié pour la libération …

Ceci aura pour effet un enseignement, mais tout que vous apprendrez indiquera que le temps est éternel. L’éternel ira alors à la ville témoin par des coups-de-pied bas aux visages élémentaires, donnant naissance à des oscillations qui pourraient apporter la nouvelle technologie : le « K », le « L », le « F » et l’ologie. La force du descendant produira sa mutilation en contemplant le temps obtenu et en constatant que partout, le temps est éternel. Éternel, c’est ici que nous allons, es-tu prêt ?

Etant à court d’inspiration depuis quelque temps, cet article est tiré du frigo depuis mon ancien blog (the nine tailed demon fox).

Non ce n’est pas du « Nostradamus », c’est le texte de « 3A.M. Eternal », un vieux tube de KLF (1991) passé par la traduction automatique Google (J’adore faire ça !) et « remanié » un peu pour donner un semblant de cohérence ; du coup, les bons vieux « here we go » et « are you ready » deviennent des messages mystiques du genre : « C’est ici que nous allons, es-tu prêt ? ».

Morale de l’histoire : Avant d’acheter le prochain Umberto Eco il vaut mieux être a la page coté underground, sinon on risque fort de se faire ***.

Allez, tous pour la « sableuse balistique », et, vive la KLFologie !

The new ISO9001:2008 is not bringing big change compared to the 2000 edition. Changes will be discussed in an upcoming post but meanwhile, i thought useful to publish the official interpretation made by TC176 of all confusing clauses of the 2000′ edition collected all over the last 8 years. (between parenthesis are the TC176 identification numbers of each interpretation):

• Clause 1.2 (N850r):
  Q: Does the standard require an organization that purchases a complete design, then manufactures a product to the design and sells it under its own brand name, to include “design” as one of the processes needed for the Quality Management System?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 2 (N649r):
  Q: Do only terms and definitions of ISO 9000:2000 constitute provisions of ISO 9001:2000 through the reference in the text of Clause 2 of ISO 9001:2000?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 4.1 a) (N753):
  Q: Does the expression “needed for the QMS” in Clause 4.1 a) require the organization to identify the QMS processes related to product realization only?
  A: No, The processes needed for the QMS include those related to product realization as well as the other processes related to the implementation of the QMS, as per the NOTE in clause 4.1.

• Clause 4.2.1 (N778):
  Q: include “a quality manual” (item b) and “documented procedures required by this International Standard” (item c). Is it in compliance with the standard to include the “documented procedures required by the standard” in the quality manual instead of having two separate sets of documents?
  Background: Some advisors recommend that organizations which are implementing their quality management system develop one manual, in addition to all the six documented procedures, because of clause 4.2.1.Yet clause 4.2.2 says: “The organization shall establish and maintain a quality manual that INCLUDES:
  b) documented procedures established for the quality management system or reference to them”.
  A: Yes.

• Clauses 4.2.2 c) and 4.1 b) (N718):
  Q: Does Clause 4.2.2 c), require that the manual include a description of the processes, in addition to a “description of the interaction between the processes of the QMS ”?
  Attention is also drawn to the connection between Clause 4.2.2 c) and Clause 4.1 b), where the organization is required to “determine the sequence and interaction” of the processes. On this problem of interpretation there is a divergence of opinion between an organization and a Certification Body.
  A: No.

• Clause 4.2.3 a) (N638r):
  Q: Does documented purchasing information that is part of the quality management system, have to be approved according to 4.2.3 a)?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 4.2.3 a) (N641r):
  Q: Do documented inspection and test procedures that are part of the quality management system, have to be approved according to 4.2.3 a)?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 4.2.3 a) (N774):
  Q: Does sub-clause 4.2.3 a) require that documents required for the QMS be reviewed as well as approved prior to issue?
  A: No, Clause 4.2.3 a) is applicable to new documents which are being developed. Some degree of checking, examination or assessment by the person or persons approving is inherent in “approval for adequacy”. There is no requirement for an additional “review” (as defined in ISO 9000:2000 clause 3.8.7).

• Clause 5.4.1 (N765):
  Q: Does Clause 5.4.1 of ISO 9001:2000 consider quality objectives defined by “YES/NO” criteria to be measurable?
  Background: Several companies that we audit have established some (but not all) of their quality objectives based on “YES/NO” criteria. Example “Achieve product certification for “xxxxxxx” product by November 2002”; or “Develop a new product to meet the requirements of the “YYYYY” market by March 2003”. In order to provide a consistent and technically accurate audit, we would like to know if these are considered to be “measurable objectives”.
  A: Yes.

• Clause 5.4.2 (N708v):
  Q: Is it a requirement of Clause 5.4.2 to have a document that describes the objectives, timeframe, action and responsibilities? (Note: The description of this document is not the same as the definition of “Quality Plan” in ISO 9000:2000, paragraph 3.7.5)
  Background: Some users interpret Clause 5.4.2 of the standard to require a document (quality plan) that describes the objectives and the responsibilities etc. This is in addition to the quality manual and procedures document already established to control the relevant processes.
  A: No

• Clause 5.5.1 (N871r):
  Q: Does Sub-clause 5.5.1, Responsibility and authority, address definition of responsibilities and authorities needed for an effective operation of the quality management system, not only for personnel involved in management of the system, such as the management representative and those who document, review and audit the system, but also for personnel involved in purchasing, production, development, testing, etc.?
  Background Scenario: The question came up because of the fact that Clause 7.3.1 c) requires that the responsibilities and authorities for design and development have to be determined, while similar clauses like 7.2, 7.4 and 7.5 do not have such an explicit requirement.
  A: Yes.

• Clause 5.5.2 (N752):
  Q: In our organization we have a management representative appointed by top management, who works for the company in a managerial capacity. He is not a permanent member of staff, but works full-time on a contract basis. Is it allowable under the standard, for such a person to act as the organization’s management representative?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 5.6.3 b) (N757):
  Q: Outputs from the management review shall include decisions and actions on the “”improvement of product related to customer requirements”". If an improvement consists in the realization of a new product, does it respond to this specific requirement? (This clause is the only place where the improvement deals with the “”product”". In all other places the improvement concerns the “”effectiveness of the QMS”". But it’s not clear if the sentence “”improvement of product related to customer requirements”" intends to limit the improvement only to the products where the requirements have been already established (e.g. contractually). A clarification on this point will help users and auditors in understanding the extent of application of this requirement.)
  A: Yes, The realization of a new product to improve an old one could be one of the results of the management review (Clause 5.6.3 b).

• Clause 6.2.2 (N825r):
  Q: Does Clause 6.2.2 e) require the organization to maintain records to demonstrate “the evaluation of the effectiveness of actions taken” to address competence needs, according to Clause 6.2.2 c)?
  A: No, It is up to the organization to decide what records should be maintained.

• Clause 6.3 (N640r):
  Q: Does Clause 6.3 require records of the maintenance of infrastructures?
  A: No.

• Clause 7.1 (N716r):
  Q: Does the use of the word “form” in the last sentence of this clause, mean that the output of the planning process must be documented?
  Background: There has been some confusion due to the word “form” being interpreted as meaning “document used to record data”.
  A: No, The word “form” means usual/suitable format.

• Clause 7.2.1 (N743):
  Q: In some countries, in order to perform professional work, a law requires that a professional be a member of the appropriate Order and that the Order prescribes its own rules. Some of the rules have an impact on the product. Are these rules of the professional Order to be considered requirements related to the product?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 7.2.1 a) (N647r):
  Q: Does the word “specify” or “specified” quoted in various clauses require documentation? Clauses 7.2.1 a) and b), 7.3.3 d), 7.3.6 and others.
  A: No, A relevant example to support the answer is in the definition of procedure (ISO 9000:2000, 3.4.5), “specified way to carry out an activity or process (3.4.1)”, with “Note 1 Procedures can be documented or not”.

• Clause 7.2.1 a) (N851r):
  Q: Are the contractual delivery dates of a product to be always considered as being part of the “requirements specified by the customer”, mentioned in sub-clause 7.2.1 a)?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 7.3 (N815r):
  Q: Does ISO 9001:2000 require Clause 7.3 to be applied to the design and development of the package necessary to preserve the conformity of the product during delivery?
  Background: This request for interpretation does not address the packaging process, but the package that is necessary to protect the product.
  A: Yes, The organization is, per sub-clause 7.5.5, responsible for preserving the conformity of the product. Preservation includes packaging. In cases where design and development of the package is necessary to preserve conformity, this has to be performed in accordance with Clause 7.3 of the standard.

• Clause 7.3.1 b) (N754):
  Q: Does Clause 7.3.1 b) allow the organization to decide on the need, appropriateness and extent of the review, verification and validation to be carried out at each design and development stage?
  A: Yes, Review, verification and validation at each stage of design and development shall be determined by the organization according to 7.3.1.b and shall be performed according to 7.3.4, 7.3.5 and 7.3.6.

• Clause 7.4 (N812r):
  Q: Do the requirements of Clause 7.4, Purchasing, also apply to products that are acquired without any payment being made?
  A: Yes.

• Clause 7.4 (N870r):
  Q: Does Clause 7.4 apply to the purchase of products not intended for the organization’s customer if these purchases have an effect on subsequent product realization or the final product?
  A: Yes, All purchased products must conform to their specified purchase requirements, but the type and extent of the control applied depends on the effect the purchased product has on the final product or product realization process.

• Clause 7.4.1 (N816r):
  Q: Does Clause 7.4.1 require that records of evaluations of suppliers and any necessary actions arising from these evaluations be maintained by all organizations, irrespective of their size?
  Background: In small companies where the owners are personally responsible for the purchasing of resources and know their individual suppliers, maintaining records of supplier assessments can be very bureaucratic.
  A: Yes.

• Clause 7.4.3 (N639r):
  Q: Does Clause 7.4.3 require records of the verification of purchased product?
  A: No.

• Clause 7.5.2 (N751):
  Q: Does the process of an organization, whose results can be verified by means of monitoring or measurement after their realization and prior to delivery to the customer, need to be validated in order to comply with the requirements of clause 7.5.2?
  Background: The organization provides transportation of orders (goods etc.) involving collection and dispatching services that can be monitored during their respective execution.
  A: No.

• Clause 7.5.2 (N776):
  Q: Does Clause 7.5.2, Validation of processes for production and service provision, require the validation of the equipment, locations and people involved?
  Background: The original query implied that the question arose in relation to a hospital)
  A: No, Clause 7.5.2 does not say what shall be excluded from or included in validation of the process. It is up to the organization to determine which of the arrangements from a) to e) are applicable (refer also to 7.1).

• Clause 7.5.2 (N777):
  Q: Does Clause 7.5.2, Validation of processes for production and service provision, require that any applicable statutory and regulatory requirements must be taken into account?
  Background: The original query implied that the question arose in relation to a hospital)
  A: Yes, Clause 7.5.2 makes no reference to statutory and regulatory requirements. However these statutory and regulatory requirements are general and must be taken into account wherever applicable to the intended product (see the Note in Clause 1.1).

• Clause 7.6 (N757):
  Q: Is it correct that Clause 7.6 requires only the measuring and monitoring devices utilized by persons responsible for release of the product to be calibrated or verified?
  Background: The Client understands that all of the workers need to have all measuring devices calibrated or verified. The contract just requires compliance with ISO 9001:2000 in this case.
  A: No, Clause 7.6 requires calibration or verification of measuring equipment “where necessary to ensure valid results”. It could be more than measuring equipment for product
  release only (i.e.: verification of purchased products; in process inspection, etc.) but does not necessarily mean all measuring equipment. When the organization determines the monitoring and measuring required (as defined e.g. in clauses 4.1 a); 4.1 e); 7.1 c) and the first paragraph of 7.6), it shall decide which of them require calibration or verification of the measuring equipment because of the requirement of “valid results”.

• Clause 7.6 a) (N805r):
  Q: Clause 7.6 a) states: “Where necessary to ensure valid results, measuring equipment shall a) be calibrated or verified at specified intervals, or prior to use, against measurement standards traceable to international or national measurement standards; where no such standards exist, the basis used for calibration or verification shall be recorded.” Can the word “OR” in the phrase “be calibrated or verified at specified intervals….” be interpreted as meaning that these two activities are always mutually exclusive?
  Background: According to the concept of metrological confirmation established in ISO 10012:2003 (e.g. Figure 2 Metrological confirmation process for measuring equipment) for carrying out verification activities, it is indispensable to define the measuring equipment metrological requirements, and the latter are compared against the results of calibration activities.
  A: No, Calibration and verification can both be applicable depending on the situation.

• Clause 8.2.1 (N804r):
  Q: In the situation described in the background information, does the standard require an organization to consider also the end user as a customer for monitoring satisfaction?
  Background: An organization designs and manufactures a product to its own specifications and sells it to end users through a distribution chain. It is not technically modified between the organization and the end user. The end user can identify the organization through the use of a brand name or a trademark. The organization has contracts with distributors, which in turn sell to stores where end users buy the product.
  A: Yes.

• Clause 8.2.2 (N780):
  Q: In clause 8.2.2 it is stated that: “An audit programme shall be planned, taking into consideration the status and importance of the processes and areas to be audited, …”.
  Is it a requirement of this clause that the criteria to determine the status and the importance of the processes and areas to be audited have to be documented?
  Background: There is divergence with the auditor regarding a requirement for documentation of “status and importance criteria” despite the fact that evidence was provided that the planning of the audit programme has taken the status and importance of the processes and areas to be audited into consideration.
  A: No.

• Clause 8.3 (N698.1r):
  Q: When an organization detects, after delivery or after use has started, a product which does not conform to one of the “requirements specified by the customer” (Clause 7.2.1 a)), does the standard require that the organization inform the customer of the nonconforming product?
  A: No, The last paragraph of Clause 8.3 specifies that it is the organization’s responsibility to take appropriate action regarding the nonconforming product.

• Clause 8.3 (N698.2r):
  Q: When an organization detects, after delivery or after use has started, a product which does not conform to one of the “statutory and regulatory requirements related to the product” (Clause 7.2.1 c)), does the standard require that the organization inform the competent authority of the nonconforming product?
  A: No, The last paragraph of Clause 8.3 specifies that it is the organization’s responsibility to take appropriate action regarding nonconforming product.

• Clause 8.3 (N742):
  Q: A product is at the final stage of realization and a nonconformity is found on a product related requirement which had been specified by the customer (ISO 9001:2000 7.2.1 a)). The organization believes that the best solution is to accept and deliver the product as is, i.e. with a nonconforming characteristic. The customer has not issued instructions on the reporting of nonconformities. Does Clause 8.3 require a concession by the customer for the use, release or acceptance as is of the product?
  A: Yes, Clause 8.3 identifies three different ways to deal with nonconforming products. Clauses 8.3 a) and c) do not apply in this case. Clause 8.3 b) specifies that the use, release or acceptance shall be authorized. In this case authorization involves a concession by the customer. Furthermore, Clause 5.2 requires that customer requirements are determined and are met.

• Clause 8.5.1 (N717):
  Q: Does the continual improvement of the QMS required by Clause 8.5.1 also cover the “improvement of the product related to customer requirements” required by Clause 5.6.3 b) to be included as an output of the management review?
  Background: Clause 5.6.3 mentions in bullet a), the improvement of the “effectiveness of the quality management system” and adds, in bullet b), the “improvement of the product related to customer requirements”. Clause 8.5.1 requires only the “improvement of the effectiveness of the quality management system”, with no mention to the “improvement of the product related to customer requirements”.
  A: No.

• Clause 8.5.3 a) (N853r):
  Q: Does sub-clause 8.5.3 a) require organizations to demonstrate, with objective evidence in the form of records, that they have undertaken actions to determine the existence of “potential nonconformities and their causes”?
  A: No.

2. Version 2008 of ISO 9001 is Public

Après avoir acheté cet appareil voilà 2 mois, j’ai décidé d’en partager mes trouvailles. Tout d’abord mon choix s’est porté sur le IXUS 85 IS car tout simplement c’est l’un des plus petits modèles Canon disponible sur le marche, pourquoi Canon ? Car je crois que c’est le constructeur qui a le plus de savoir faire en matière d’appareils photos numériques (là c’est un avis personnel).

Cet appareil est compact, élégant (aluminium mat) et d’une finition impeccable, son flash est tout à fait honnête, la qualité des photos prises à la lumière naturelle est tellement impressionnante qu’on a tendance à ne plus vouloir utiliser le flash. Il est aussi pourvu de plusieurs gadgets : correction yeux rouges, stabilisateur d’images (quoi pas d’une grande utilité pour un appareil à zoom optique de 3x). L’IXUS 85 IS convient très bien au grand public, les professionnels de la photo n’apprécieront pas l’absence du format RAW ni des réglages manuels avancés (focus, exposition …), il offre cependant une dizaine de modes préprogrammés et un mode semi manuel qui à mon avis sont suffisant pour l’usage de Monsieur tout le monde. Le démarrage et l’extinction de l’appareil prennent moins d’une seconde et le temps qu’il prend entre deux images successives est d’environ deux secondes, ce qui est impressionnant comparé à d’autres appareils de la même gamme. Le rendu des couleurs est exceptionnel même quand le paysage est saturé, cependant et quand il y a un fort éclairage et un gros contraste, les zones sombres sont privilégiés par rapport aux zones claires qui perdent de leurs détails. La lentille présente aussi un petit défaut : la zone centrale de l’image est plus nette que les contours, j’ai aussi noté une légère distorsion dans les images à grand angle. Mais tout ceci ne diminue en rien de la qualité de ce petit bijou dont je ne m’en sépare plus et dont voici quelques photos prises avec.

After 8 years ISO 9001 new version finally came out, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IAF (International Accreditation Forum) have agreed on an implementation plan to ISO 9001:2008, the latest version of the world’s most widely used standard for quality management systems (QMS). The details of the plan are given in the joint communiqué by the two organizations below.

Implementation of accredited certification to ISO 9001:2008

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IAF (International Accreditation Forum) have agreed an implementation plan to ensure a smooth migration of accredited certification to ISO 9001:2008, after consultation with international groupings representing quality system or auditor certification bodies, and industry users of ISO 9001 certification services.

ISO 9001:2008 does not contain any new requirements

They have recognized that ISO 9001:2008 introduces no new requirements. ISO 9001:2008 only introduces clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 based on eight years of experience of implementing the standard world wide with about one million certificates issued in 170 countries to date. It also introduces changes intended to improve consistency with ISO14001:2004
The agreed implementation plan in relation to accredited certification is therefore the following: Accredited certification to the ISO 9001:2008 shall not be granted until the publication of ISO 9001:2008 as an International Standard (Done on the 15th of November 2008). Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 and/or national equivalents shall only be issued after official publication of ISO 9001:2008 and after a routine surveillance or re-certification audit against ISO 9001:2008.

Validity of certifications to ISO 9001:2000

One year after publication of ISO 9001:2008 all accredited certifications issued (new certifications or recertifications) shall be to ISO 9001:2008. Twenty four months after publication by ISO of ISO 9001:2008, any existing certification issued to ISO 9001:2000 shall not be valid.

2. ISO9001:2000 Official Interpretation

I have been asked this question tens of times: What are the documents (procedures and records) aside the quality manual that ISO 9001:2000 requires and considers as mandatory? Well, the standard requires 6 procedures and 21 records. Depending on your system, the implementation of some of the records might be not applicable, (exclusions are here a typical example: for instance, if you are excluding Design from your scope, associated records will no longer be mandatory).
