ISO Certification
INTRODUCTION
ISO is the symbol for International Organization for Standardization. The word ISO comes from the Greek word ISOS, which means “equal.” In Geneva, Switzerland, the International Federation of National Standardizing Associations (ISO) was established in 1920. (ISA). Due to the Second World War, it was stopped in 1942, but when delegates from the ISA and UNSCC met in London in October 1946, they decided to unite to form the new International Organization for Standardization. In February 1947, the brand-new organization began operations.
The organization’s abbreviated moniker was adopted because the full name, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), would translate differently in different languages. After issuing about 16,500 worldwide standards, the ISO has evolved into a federation of delegates representing more than 150 countries. They meet regularly to discuss both current and classic management practices.
