International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

The non-governmental International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, is responsible for creating and disseminating international standards across a broad spectrum of fields and industries.

The ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems, which is widely utilized by businesses worldwide to raise the caliber of their goods and services, is credited to ISO. In addition, ISO creates standards for a variety of industries, including information security, food safety, occupational health and safety, and environmental management.

Many businesses implement ISO to streamline processes, show their dedication to quality and other areas, and improve their standing with clients, partners, and other stakeholders.
