Incorrectア
IEEE802.3-LAN is correct, but the target fields of ISO9001 and ISO14001 are swapped. ISO9001 is quality management and ISO14001 is environmental management, so ア, which assigns these two the other way around, is wrong.
- イ
正解 The correct answer is “イ”. Checking the target field of each of the three standards gives the following. IEEE802.3 is a LAN standard developed by the 802 committee of the IEEE (the U.S. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and it defines the specifications of what is known as Ethernet. ISO9001 is the set of quality management system requirements defined by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization); it specifies a framework for continually improving the quality of products and services. ISO14001 is likewise a set of environmental management system requirements defined by ISO; it specifies a framework for continually reducing the environmental load caused by business activities. The correct combination is therefore “LAN / quality management / environmental management”, and the only row in the table with this arrangement is “イ”.
Incorrectウ
All three correspondences are wrong. IEEE802.3 is a LAN standard, not environmental management; ISO9001 is quality management, not LAN; and ISO14001 is environmental management, not quality management. Besides, assigning a management system to IEEE802.3, which is a communications technology standard, does not hold up in the first place.
Incorrectエ
Only ISO9001-quality management is correct; treating IEEE802.3 as environmental management and ISO14001 as LAN is wrong. The LAN standard is IEEE802.3, not ISO14001, and the environmental management standard is ISO14001, not IEEE802.3.
- IEEE802.3 is IEEE's LAN standard (Ethernet). The IEEE802 series is in charge of LAN/MAN standardization; remember that 802.3 is wired LAN and 802.11 is wireless LAN.
- For ISO management system standards, memorize the target field by number: ISO9001 = quality management system, ISO14001 = environmental management system (and also ISO/IEC27001 = information security management system).
- Also distinguish the scope of each standards body. IEEE covers technical standards in the electrical, electronic, and communications fields, while ISO handles international industrial standards and management system standards.
