TL 9000 is a telecommunications standard published by the Quality Excellence for Suppliers of Telecommunications (QuEST) Forum—a consortium of international telecommunications service providers and suppliers. The QuEST Forum is a unique partnership of suppliers and service providers whose mission is to foster continued improvements to the quality and reliability of telecommunications service. The Forum is committed to developing and maintaining a common set of quality system requirements for the telecommunications industry worldwide, including reportable performance-based measurements that allow organizations to see how they are performing relative to other companies in their industry.

TL 9000 includes all of the requirements of ISO 9001, with industry-specific requirements for hardware, software, services, and measurements. The goal of these added requirements is continual improvement in the telecommunications industry, resulting in potential cost savings for suppliers and service providers, and improved service to end users of telecommunications services. TL 9000 is published in two volumes: TL 9000 Requirements Handbook and TL 9000 Measurements Handbook.

TL 9000 is a common set of requirements and measurements for the telecommunications industry. The emphasis of the standard is on continual improvement and two-way customer communication. Service providers and some large providers are making TL 9000 registration mandatory. STAT-A-MATRIX experts who helped develop the Tl 9000 standard are available to provide training and consulting to assist your organization in complying with the newest releases of the TL 9000 handbooks before time runs out.
