ISO is stands for International Organization for Standardization
that is a worldwide organization that specializes in promoting of standards in
businesses developments. An ISO Certificate
is a non-governmental entity that bridges the gap between the public and
private sectors of a countries economy.

ISO is a
voluntary organization whose members are recognized authorities on standards,
each one representing one country. Members meet annually at a general assembly
to discuss ISO's strategic objectives. The organization is coordinated by a
Central Secretariat based in different countries.
The ISO certificate
has several features that characterize the development process and nature of
its standards. Some of these features have been enumerated below:
1.
Democratic:
Every member of the ISO is entitled to
participate in the developmental procedure of all standards that are considered
important by the member for the economy of its country. Regardless of the
strength or size of that country's economy, every member of the ISO has a vote.
Thus, every country has an equal footing in terms of being able to influence
the practical content of ISO's individual standards as well as the course of
ISO's efforts at a strategic level
2.
Voluntary:
ISO resembles a non-governmental
organization in that it has no lawful authority to impose its standard. It does
not legislate or regulate. However, nations may decide to accept these
standards - mostly those concerning health, environment, or safety - either as
policies or use them for providing a technical basis to the legislation.
3.
Consensus:
These standards have been developed
after obtaining international consensus from experts in every field. Like
technology, consensus also continues to evolve and hence, this standard takes
both into consideration - the evolving interests and evolving technology by
taking a periodic evaluation of all its standard every five years in order to
plan whether they must be updated, withdrawn, or maintained.
4.
Market-driven:
ISO develops only those standards that
have some market requirement. Thus, most work is performed under the
surveillance of professionals from the technical, business, and industrial
sectors which require standards, and which are subsequently going to put them
into practice.
5.
Globally Relevant:
These standards can be considered
technical agreements that offer a framework for technology that is compatible
all over the world. Thus, they have been specifically planned to be useful
everywhere i.e. be globally applicable.
An ISO Certificate
standard does not measure the standard of a product - it does, however, measure
the ability of a company to implement the various business management systems
to a recognized standard within your company.
