title: Meeting the international standard ISO 9002/BS5750.
abstract: In this paper we outline the rationale for applying British Standard BS5750 to a medical equipment management service and introduce some of the concepts of the standard as they apply to this field. We see this application as essential in today's legal and commercial environment and indicate the ways in which this work is being carried forward by the Medical Equipment Management Organisation into total quality management systems.
