Saw the news today concerning INVN in reference to ISO 9000...I can speak to that since one of my primary responsibilities here at work is administration of the ISO program...it's a program that reviews the entire process of your company from start to finish and in essence puts you in a position of taking a second look at the way you do business...it's a very positive and extremely thorough continuous improvement process for a company to go through and makes a great "calling card" for doing business in the US and internationally...it's shows a strong commitment by management to improve their company...I don't suspect the press release will do much for the price of the stock but it speaks well of management...

InVision Technologies Achieves ISO 9001
Certification
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 1999--InVision Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:
INVN - news) today announced that it has achieved ISO 9001 certification through international
registrar British Standards Institution Inc. (BSI), the largest ISO registrar worldwide.
To achieve this milestone, InVision prepared, implemented, and trained personnel on more than
90 business processes during the past year. The company took a unique approach to compliance
by applying the 20 elements contained within the standard to all of its operations. This was done
to enhance the effectiveness of its overall business processes from top to bottom. The more
conventional approach is to include only those parts of the business directly affected by the
standard.
Sergio Magistri, InVision's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, ''This represents a
major accomplishment for InVision as we join the ranks of a number of elite U.S. firms
registered to the ISO 9001 standard. ISO 9001 registration is recognized in more than 190
countries worldwide as the benchmark for total business quality programs and BSI is
recognized worldwide as the leader in ISO 9000 registrations. This is also significant for our
customers because it demonstrates our on-going commitment to deliver high quality products
and excellent customer service in today's extremely competitive marketplace.''
InVision Technologies develops, manufactures, markets, and supports explosive detection
systems based on advanced computed tomography (CT) technology for civil aviation security.
Today, more than 180 FAA-certified CTX 5000(TM) series systems have been shipped
worldwide to provide the traveling public with the best security against terrorism available.
The company also develops, manufactures, markets, and supports CT-based systems for other
applications including drug detection. InVision's wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum Magnetics,
develops and commercializes patented and proprietary technologies, including key quadrupole
