ISO standards are a set of guidelines and criteria developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to ensure quality, safety, efficiency, and consistency in products, services, and processes across industries. These standards cover a wide range of areas, including manufacturing, technology, healthcare, food safety, environmental management, and more.
ISO certification provides external validation of an organization's commitment to quality, safety, environmental management, or other aspects covered by the ISO standard. It can enhance the organization's reputation, credibility, and competitiveness in the marketplace by demonstrating its adherence to internationally recognized standards. However, it's important to note that ISO certification is voluntary and not a legal requirement in most cases, although it may be required by certain customers or regulatory authorities.
