"That does in practice tie things down fairly tightly."
Not really. ISO 9000 is also a procedure driven standard. A company can be
ISO certified but if they don't follow those procedures all the time, QA/QC
suffers as well as their products.
I once represented a company that was ISO 9001 certified and had at least 10
"Six Sigma Black Belts" under their employment. Their products were
horrible and never improved. We eventually severed ties with them.
Also, as a side note, a companies products that are "U.L.", "CSA", or
"Factory Mutual" listed doesn't necessarily mean they're quality products
either.

Essentially it means document what you do and do what
you document. It
has little if anything to do with quality."
Of course that is true, and that is the nature of the
standard. But traceability includes the type,
specification and supplier of the component parts of
the cable (and their suppliers). So, for example, the
polyethylene used for the inner jacket is forced to
have a particular chemical formulation. That does in
practice tie things down fairly tightly.
