Garrett - now made in China?

It's basically just a boatload of paperwork. ISO does *not* dictate tolerances or anything like that...all it means is that you have documented standards and controls in place that attempt to meet those standards.

As always, what you don't measure tends to have corners cut. The companies that outsource overseas have to measure *everything*. If they don't then the Chinese/Mexicans/etc are going to cut those corners to obtain more profit.
