20. History of ISO
• The ISO story began in 1946 when delegates from 25
countries met at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London
and decided to create a new international organization ‘to
facilitate the international coordination and unification of
industrial standards’. On 23 February 1947 the new
organization, ISO, officially began operations.
• Since then, we have published over 22351 International
Standards covering almost all aspects of technology and
manufacturing.
21. What is ISO?
• ISO is an independent, non-governmental international
organization with a membership of 162 national standards
bodies.
• Through its members, it brings together experts to share
knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market
relevant International Standards that support innovation
and provide solutions to global challenges.
• International Standards make things work. They give
world-class specifications for products, services and
systems, to ensure quality, safety and efficiency. They are
22. Benefits of ISO
• ISO International Standards ensure that products and
services are safe, reliable and of good quality.
• For business, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by
minimizing waste and errors and increasing productivity.
• They help companies to access new markets, level the
playing field for developing countries and facilitate free and
fair global trade.
24. Key principles in standard development
1. ISO standards respond to a need in the market
• ISO does not decide when to develop a new standard, but
responds to a request from industry or other stakeholders
such as consumer groups. Typically, an industry sector or
group communicates the need for a standard to its national
member who then contacts ISO.
2.ISO standards are based on a consensus
• Developing ISO standards is a consensus-based approach
and comments from all stakeholders are taken into account.
25. • 3. ISO standards are based on global expert opinion
• ISO standards are developed by groups of experts from all over the
world, that are part of larger groups called technical committees.
These experts negotiate all aspects of the standard, including its
scope, key definitions and content.
• 4. ISO standards are developed through a multi-
stakeholder process
• The technical committees are made up of experts from the relevant
industry, but also from consumer associations, academia, NGOs
and government.
