The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 162 national standards bodies. Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant international standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges. ISO is not an acronym for the International Organization for Standardization, otherwise it would have been (IOS). It’s not a country’s code like BHR for Bahrain, although these abbreviations are defined in one of the ISO standards, 3166-1 to be exact. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. So whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO. Whether you are running an airline or digging an oil well, we have the expertise to get you that ISO badge that you need. The list below gives some guidance to what ISO certificate would be applicable to each industry.
