dc.description.abstract | The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE)1 programme of
the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO2 maintains a global
network of National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODC) and Associate Data Units
(ADU) responsible for the collection, quality control, archive, and online publication of
many millions of ocean and marine observations which are made available to Member
States. In addition, it coordinates a network of marine information (library) managers.
The IODE Committee has long held the view that there is a need for a quality
management framework to ensure that NODCs and ADUs are established and operate
according to defined principles, including adherence to agreed standards and the
requirements of the IOC Data Policy and Terms of Use (2023). This will ensure NODCs
and ADUs are able to provide data of known quality to meet the requirements of a broad
community of users.
The Twenty-second Session of the IODE Committee (IODE-XXII, 2013) adopted
Recommendation IODE-XXII.18 to establish the IODE Quality Management Framework.
The IODE Quality Management Framework (IODE-QMF) provides overall strategy, advice
and guidance for NODCs and ADUs to design and implement quality management
systems (QMS) for the successful delivery of ocean and marine data, products and
services. The IODE encourages NODCs and ADUs to implement a QMS and to
demonstrate they are in conformity with ISO 9001, the international standard for quality
management. Formal ISO 9001 certification is not mandatory however NODCs/ADUs
must be able to demonstrate that an effective quality management system has been
implemented.
The main objectives of the IODE-QMF are:
• Promote accreditation of NODCs and ADUs according to agreed criteria;
• Provide assistance to NODCs and ADUs to establish organizational quality
management systems;
• Initiate and review existing standards and Manuals and Guides with respect to
the inclusion of quality management procedures and practices; and
• Provide regular feedback to the IODE Committee.
This document outlines the IODE-QMF that will address the implementation of quality
management systems to ensure NODCs and ADUs can demonstrate their capabilities to
provide data and services in compliance with established standards and responsibilities
that will lead to accreditation. | en_US |
