Garrett - now made in China?

Can anyone explain what ISO standards actually mean, and if they vary from one country to another? I've looked up a few articles online and it just leads to more questions being raised.

My father said that china uses metric, and U.S. uses inches. Tolerances are tighter here in the u.s. versus china.
Thats all he remembers. I know the company i used to work for in burnsville switched from ISO 9000 to 9001 and there were more things to check on 1 part and the tolerances were a little tighter.

www.iso.org has more info than i can explain
