Now THIS is a good suggestion!  My organization is already ISO 9000 and
ISO 14000 certified (and has been for 4 years), and as I said in my
prior e-mail, my records/document control program is--and has been-ISO
15489 "compliant" for 3 years.  Senior Management will simply not spend
any more money or resources to document our ISO 15489 compatibility if
there is no other benefit than that which we already have and can
already do (i.e., the ability to stand up, wave an ISO 15489 flag, and
proclaim ourselves to be in compliance with no one to validate that
claim).  We can't use it to benchmark or develop our program, since we
are already there.  Using 15489 in conjunction with 9000, however, might
be a selling point. I'll give it a try.

If you are a ISO 9000 certified organisation you may be able to persuade
your certifying body to accept that ISO 15489 will be part of the
documentation you follow. They should then be able to make some comments
on the fullness of the implementation.
