The International Organisation for Standardization, (ISO), was formed in 1946 by 25 Civil Engineers. It aims at achieving consensus across Europe to have consistent specifications for any given subject matter.
These individuals may work together in joint commissions. This is reflected in some ISO standards. ISO/IEC refers, for instance to the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission joint committee.
How important is ISO today?
ISO has grown from its Civil Engineering roots. It has more than 30,000 standards. They cover everything from quality and food safety to information security and manufacturing standards. ISO provides the unique ability to order a Credit Card and use it at any reader in the UK or France.
Shipping containers are perhaps the most easily recognized symbol of standardization. It was not created by ISO. However, they adopted it in 1968 as their “Standard Box”. This standard gave vehicle manufacturers, shipbuilders, handling agents, and shipping agents one set of dimensions.
WHAT IS ISO Certification?
ISO Certification can be a seal of approval by an external body indicating that a company is compliant with one of the ISO Management Systems internationally recognized.
There are many reasons you might want to use a management software system. Your chances of success in tenders could be increased, internal efficiency can be improved, or you can simply show your potential customers that it is credible.
Each standard has its benefits. However, there are some common benefits. These include increased market potential and compliance with procurement tenders. Cost savings and efficiency improvements, better customer service, and satisfaction, as well as higher morale and motivation. You can show your customers you care by having a recognized management system.
