ISO

ISO stands for International Organization and Standardization. It is a non-governmental organization that sets standards for products and services worldwide. The main goal of ISO is to ensure that products and services are safe, reliable, and consistent for the customers. In addition, ISO also facilitates uniformity in international trade. There are over 21,000 standards that have been set by ISO. Some of the most popular standards include ISO 9000 for quality management systems and ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. Businesses can achieve certification for any of these standards, or for multiple standards at once.
