ISO stands for International Organization for Standardisation and is an independent international organisation responsible for developing and publishing standards in many different areas.
If a company is ISO certified, the company has a formal recognition that it meets the requirements of one of the standards for management systems.
All companies can get ISO certification, regardless of size. With ISO certification, a company has proof that it has undergone a thorough evaluation of its processes and procedures.
Benefits of ISO certification
An ISO certification is a seal of quality awarded by an independent, recognised certification body such as Bureau Veritas and DNV.
The certification shows customers, industry, suppliers and the public that the organisation meets the highest quality requirements and standards in business management. Although ISO certifications have different focuses, there are some general benefits:
| Improved quality and efficiency | |
| Compliance with laws and regulations | |
| Increased credibility with current and potential customers | |
| Access to new markets |
