ISO certification is a seal of approval from a third-party body that a company or organisation runs to one of the international standards developed and published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organisation that brings together experts to share knowledge and develop international standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges. There are over 22,000 ISO standards published in a wide range of areas, including quality management, environmental management, food safety, information security, and social responsibility. ISO certification is voluntary, but it can be a valuable way for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to quality, safety, and efficiency.
