The successful ISO Handbook on Statistics, Statistical methods for quality control, sets off for a new lease of life with its fifth editionNineteenth-century British Prime Minister Disraeli once said it in a fit of pique: "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.' However; in his favour; it has to be admitted he had not seen the ISO Standards Handbook, Statistical methods for quality control. The International Standards contained in this handbook set out the practical methodology which a user requires in order to be able to process and interpret, statistically, testing and inspection results whenever goods are assessed from a sample.This standards handbook, grouping all the 37 ISO International Standards at present existing, has now come out in its fifth edition-proof, if such were needed, that there is a sustained interest in the subject and that ISO standards in the field are being used and applied. This now edition contains over a dozen new standards that have been developed since the last edition.
