TS ISO 10006

TS ISO 10006 is a guideline standard for quality management in projects. It addresses how a quality management approach can be organised in project work, where the effort is temporary, goal-driven and cross-functional. In this context, quality is not limited to the final deliverable; it also concerns planning, monitoring, decision-making and the control of change throughout the project lifecycle.

What project quality management means

In general technical practice, project quality management helps ensure that both the project outputs and the processes used to create them meet expectations. It is closely related to clarifying requirements, defining responsibilities, reviewing progress and detecting nonconformities early. When quality is handled alongside time, cost and scope objectives, project outcomes tend to be more coherent and better controlled.

What this standard focuses on

• Provides guidance for establishing quality management systems in projects.
• Addresses the preparation, review, acceptance and revision of the project quality approach.
• Treats quality management as a discipline applied throughout the project life cycle.
• Builds on the conceptual framework associated with TS EN ISO 9000 and TS EN ISO 9004.
• This record was withdrawn in 2018, but it can still serve as a reference for understanding project quality management concepts.

The standard supports a common quality language between project teams, suppliers and stakeholders. As a result, documentation, control and continual improvement can be handled more systematically in project settings; however, it is not a product standard that defines a specific sector, product type or mandatory test method.
