TL 9000
TL 9000 requirements were developed by the QuEST forum (The Quality Excellence for Suppliers of Telecommunications Leadership), comprised of leaders in the telecommunications field. The QuEST forum used ISO 9001 as a baseline and incorporated the requirements of telecommunication industry standards and practices in developing the TL 9000 requirements. The development of sector-specific requirements for hardware, software and services quality system and metrics requirements is an essential part of TL 9000.

Drive continuous improvement.
-
Enhance customer/supplier relationships in telecommunication industry.
-
Protect the integrity and use of telecommunication products and services.
