International Organization for Standardization (ISO):

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting

body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.

Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and

commercial standards. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and as of 2013 works in 164

countries.

It was one of the first organizations granted general consultative status with the United Nations

Economic and Social Council.

Benefits of ISO International Standards:

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.
