Provides guidance on the application of quality management principles and practices, as described in the ISO 9000 family of Standards, and the process for achievement of quality in project management. It is applicable to projects of varying complexity, small or large. It is not intended as a guide to project management itself but, if considered in conjunction with AS/NZS ISO 9001, it supplements the guidance given in AS/NZS ISO 9000.4. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 10006:1997.

These guidelines use project management processes to serve as a framework to discuss their application.This International Standard is applicable to projects of varying complexity, small or large, of short or long duration, in different environments, and irrespective of the kind of project product (including hardware, software, processed material, service or combinations thereof). This may necessitate some tailoring of the guidance to suit a particular project. This International Standard is not a guide to project management itself.
