Per i più *puristi*:
ISO/IEC 29500:2008, Information technology – Office Open XML formats, 7 228 pages, can be purchased on a single CD-ROM for 342 Swiss francs from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details) and from ISO Central Secretariat through the ISO Store or by contacting the Marketing & Communication department (see right-hand column).
Ora attendiamo con ansia, oltre i lavori interni dei working group di ISO, di vedere nella prossima SP2 di Microsoft Office 2007 cambiamenti importanti fino ad allineare la versione 14 di office con IS 29500 e IS 26300. Il lavoro è ancora lungo ma iniziamo a vedere la luce ….. come diceva qualcuno: speriamo non sia la luce di un treno che ci viene contro!!

All companies exporting products or services to the European Union (EU) may someday be contractually required to have ISO certification to sell into the market. Even today, contractual requirements are finding their way into purchase orders for products manufactured in Japan, the United States and elsewhere. Currently, the requirement for ISO 9001 registration is clearly market-driven. Officials in the EU are considering mandatory regulatory requirements relative to registration. This is especially true in regulated industries, such as medical device manufacturing and telecommunications. For example, as of the summer of 1998, a business is not allowed to sell medical devices in the EU, unless a Notified Body certifies their quality management system and / or products.
