International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards
ISO standards are globally recognized guidelines and best practices created by the International Organization for Standardization to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency across products, services, and systems. They help organizations consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements, improve processes, and facilitate international trade. Think of them as a common language or benchmark that promotes consistency and trust worldwide, whether for manufacturing, technology, environmental management, or other fields. Adopting ISO standards can enhance an organization's credibility, streamline operations, and support continuous improvement.
