ISO

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes standards to ensure quality, safety, efficiency, and interoperability across industries worldwide.

‍

Imagine a team of experts from different countries working together to set the best ways to do things. Whether it's making sure your phone charger fits everywhere, your food is safe, or your passwords are secure. 

‍

ISO creates global standards that help businesses, governments, and everyday people trust that things will work the way they should. It’s like a universal cheat code for quality, safety, and efficiency.

‍

ISO standards cover a wide range of topics, including:

‍

• Quality management (ISO 9001)
• Information security (ISO 27001)
• Environmental management (ISO 14001)
• Medical devices (ISO 13485)
• Pharmaceuticals & regulatory compliance (ISO IDMP - Identification of Medicinal Products)

‍

Ultimately, ISO standards help organizations comply with regulations, improve processes, and maintain consistency in global markets.

Why ISO Matters

‍

ISO makes the world run smoothly.

Think about it: what if every country had wildly different food safety rules or even different ways to measure time? Total chaos. Because of ISO and the global standards it sets, your credit card works in most countries, medicines globally meet strict safety rules, and engineers from different continents can build things together without confusion.

ISO isn’t just a bunch of random guidelines, it’s a behind the scenes force that keeps the modern world connected and running efficiently.
