FAQs -->What is ISO? ISO - who or what is it?ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. It aims to promote the development of standardisation and related activities throughout the world. This facilitates international exchange of goods and services, and helps develop cooperation in intellectual, scientific, technological and economic fields. The results of ISO technical work are published as International Standards. ISO 9001 is just one of many, many Standards. (In 1995, there were 15,649 Standards and standards-type documents.
The central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, coordinates a worldwide network of 157 national standards bodies, one in each country who is a member of ISO. ISO members are not delegates of national governments (unlike the United Nations). While many of the member bodies are part of the government structure of their country, or mandated by their government, other members are very definitely from the private sector. This puts ISO in a unique position, to be a bridge between various parties to find consensus on solutions that will meet what business requires, as well as the broader society needs of stakeholder groups such as consumers and users (that's you and me). See the ISO website for much useful information, including more details on ISO, and why standards are important. Back to Top |
