ISO Certification service
The ISO storybeganin1946 when delegates from25 countries met at the Institute of Civil Engineers inLondonanddecidedto
create a new international organization ‘to facilitate the international coordinationandunificationof industrial standards’. In
February1947 the neworganization, ISO, officiallybeganoperations.
Since then,we have publishedover 19 500 International Standards coveringalmost allaspects oftechnologyand
manufacturing.
Todaywe have members from 163 countries and3 368 technical bodies to take care of standarddevelopment. More than150
people work full time for ISO’s Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.
It's allinthe name
Because 'International Organizationfor Standardization'wouldhave different acronyms indifferent languages (IOSinEnglish,
OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decidedto give it the short form ISO. ISO is
derivedfromthe Greekisos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO

ISO consultants
The ISO 9001 standardis a strategic exercise. It’s designed to effect a cultural change in anorganizationso that everyone
breathesandthinks qualityineverybusiness process. When a consultant fails to understand this basic premise and instead
concentrates onmere compliance to the letter of the law, a marginallycompliant systemis born. The consultant has an
obligationto understandthe standard, the basics of various businessprocesses andthe relationshipbetween the two.
A marginalsystem producesmarginal results andlosescredibilityinthe eyes of executives, whose commitment, involvement
and provisionof resources ultimatelysupport a successful QMS. Systems that fail to impress executives are delegatedto lower
levels ofmanagement for maintenance, where theybecome bureaucratic burdens rather thanstrategic businesstools.
