TL 9000 certification defines quality system requirements for design, development, production, delivery, and service unique to the information and communication technologies industry. In addition, it specifies measurements for companies to help evaluate the effectiveness of quality implementation and improvement programs.

TL 9000 provides value and benefits across the total spectrum of disciplines, including buyers, suppliers, and service providers, by providing a consistent set of quality expectations that parallel rapid technology changes and customer expectations.
