2. INTRODUCTION TO ISO
• It is an independent, non-governmental, international organization that develops
and publishes a wide range of proprietary, industrial, and commercial standards.
• Founded in 1947, it comprises representatives from various national standards
organizations of over 175 countries among 195 countries.
• Its mission is to promote the development and implementation of international
standards that ensure quality, safety, efficiency, and sustainability in various
industries.
• ISO does not produce products or certify companies directly. Instead, it provides
the framework for standards that various certifying bodies then use.
• The ISO plays an important role in facilitating world trade by providing common
standards among different countries. These standards are intended to ensure that
products and services are safe, reliable, and of good quality.
• The ISO plays an important role in facilitating world trade by providing
common standards among different countries.
• ISO standards cover all fields, from healthcare to technology to
manufacturing to security to the environment
3. Structure and organisation.
• 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 the
strategic objectives of ISO. The organization is coordinated by a
central secretariat based in Geneva.
• A council with a rotating membership of 20 member bodies
provides guidance and governance, including setting the annual
budget of the central secretariat.
• The technical management board is responsible for more than
250 technical committees who develop the ISO standards.
• there is only one member per country.
• 6 permanent member of ISO.
• Members of ISO meet annually at a General Assembly to discuss
the strategic objectives of the organization
4. Objective of ISO
• Following are the objectives of ISO.
– Quality management: Improve the quality of products and services, enhance customer
satisfaction, and streamline business processes (e.g., ISO 9001).
– Environmental management: Minimize environmental impact, reduce waste, and promote
sustainability (e.g., ISO 14001).
– Information security: Protect sensitive information and mitigate cyber security risks (e.g., ISO
27001).
– Occupational health and safety: Create a safe and healthy work environment for employees
(e.g., ISO 45001).
• Overall, ISO standards aim to achieve consistency, quality, and safety across
different industries and regions, ultimately benefiting businesses, consumers, and
society as a whole.
• ISO develops and publishes standards for a vast range of products, materials, and
processes. Currently, the organization has over 24,362 standards, which are
included in the ISO Standards catalog, which is broken down into various segments,
such as healthcare technology, railway engineering, jewelry, clothing, metallurgy,
weapons, paint, civil engineering, agriculture, and aircraft.
• The ISO plays an important role in facilitating world trade by providing common
standards among different countries
5. History of ISO
• The organization that is known today as ISO began in 1926 as
the International Federation of the National Standardizing
Associations (ISA), which primarily focused on mechanical engineering.
The ISA was suspended in 1942 during World War II but, after the war, the
ISA was approached by the recently-formed United Nations Standards
Coordinating Committee (UNSCC) with a proposal to form a new global
standards body.
• In October 1946, ISA and UNSCC delegates from 25 countries met in
London and agreed to join forces to create the International Organization
for Standardization. The organization officially began operations on 23
February 1947.
• ISO Standards were originally known as ISO Recommendations (ISO/R),
e.g., "ISO 1" was issued in 1951 as "ISO/R 1
• 1951: The first ISO standard, ISO/R 1, was published, setting a standard
reference temperature for industrial length measurements..
7. Key takeaways:
• ISO was born from the need for international
collaboration and standardization after World
War II.
• It has grown steadily, expanding its scope and
impact on various industries and aspects of
global trade and commerce.
• With its commitment to quality, safety, and
sustainability, ISO continues to play a vital role
in shaping our world today.
8. ISO council
• The ISO Council is the governing body of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO), a non-governmental organization that develops and
publishes international standards. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the
smooth functioning and strategic direction of ISO, and its decisions impact
the development and implementation of standards that affect various
industries and activities globally. Composition:
• The ISO Council comprises representatives from 20 elected member bodies
of ISO, each representing a different country.
• It includes six permanent members:
– France
– Germany
– India
