INTRODUCTION

ISO is the abbreviation for International Organization for Standardization. Greek ISOS, which means "equal," is where the word ISO originates. In 1920, the International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations (ISO) was founded in Geneva, Switzerland (ISA). It was suspended in 1942 due to the Second World War, but when representatives from the ISA and UNSCC convened in London in October 1946, they decided to collaborate to create the new International Organization for Standardization. The brand-new organisation began operations in February 1947.

Because the entire name, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), would translate differently in different languages, the organization's abbreviated moniker was chosen. The ISO has developed into a federation of delegates representing more than 150 countries after having roughly 16,500 international standards issued. They routinely get together to discuss both modern and traditional management practises.

WHAT IS ISO CERTIFICATION?

The International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, offers the assurance that the good or service satisfies the standard's requirements and is of a high calibre. The effectiveness, safety, and quality of the goods and services offered by businesses can be referred to as standards.
