ISO (International Organization for Standardization) compliance refers to the adherence of an organization to the standards set by the ISO to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency in their processes, products, and services. ISO has developed a wide range of standards in various areas such as quality management, environmental management, occupational health and safety management, information security management, and many more.
ISO compliance is voluntary, but many organizations choose to adopt ISO standards to improve their operations, gain a competitive edge, and demonstrate their commitment to quality and safety to their customers and stakeholders. ISO certification is a formal recognition of an organization’s compliance with ISO standards and is issued by a third-party certification body.
Maintaining ISO compliance involves establishing and implementing a management system that meets the requirements of the relevant ISO standard, monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of the system, and continuously improving it. This may involve regular audits and reviews to ensure that the system is working effectively and identifying opportunities for improvement.
