Obviously the different accreditation "clubs" are pressuring us into
compliance with their wishes. This should be opposed. Who is to say one
accreditation system is better than the other? If we ignore their requests
rather than jump to comply we would be better off. What is so wrong about
using our ISO 9000 or NARTE ? How many accreditation clubs do we have to
join?
