ISO 9001 is a compliance standard.

ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems. ISO 9000 is maintained by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization and is administered by accreditation and certification bodies. For a manufacturer, some of the requirements in ISO 9001 (which is one of the standards in the ISO 9000 family) would include:

a set of procedures that cover all key processes in the business;
monitoring manufacturing processes to ensure they are producing quality product;
keeping proper records;
checking outgoing product for defects, with appropriate corrective action where necessary; and
regularly reviewing individual processes and the quality system itself for effectiveness.
A company or organization that has been independently audited and certified to be in conformance with ISO 9001 may publicly state that it is "ISO 9001 certified" or "ISO 9001 registered." Certification to an ISO 9000 standard does not guarantee the compliance (and therefore the quality) of end products and services; rather, it certifies that consistent business processes are being applied.

Although the standards originated in manufacturing, they are now employed across a wide range of other types of organizations. A "product", in ISO vocabulary, can mean a physical object, or services, or software. In fact, according to ISO in 2004, "service sectors now account by far for the highest number of ISO 9001:2000 certificates - about 31% of the total" - source: the ISO Survey 2004

ISO-International Standards Organization.

Is a organization the puts together these standards of operation, sort of...there are guides for all different types of businesses.

If they are ISO 9001 certified, they comply with the standards of the organization, and have passed an audit.

ISO 9001 basically requires a Quality System that ensures products and services meet the quality definitions that the company says they meet.

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 9001 : 2008 ‘Quality management
systems — Requirements’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was
adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Quality Management
Sectional Committee and approval of the Management and Systems Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1988 and subsequently revised in 1994 and 2000. This third
revision of the standard was necessitated because of the publication of the revised version of ISO
9001 in the year 2008.
