  1. ISO

  2. ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems. • ISO 9000 is maintained by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization and is administered by accreditation and certification bodies. • The rules are updated, as the requirements motivate changes over time.

  3. Some of the requirements in ISO 9001:2008 (which is one of the standards in the ISO 9000 family) include • a set of procedures that cover all key processes in the business; • monitoring processes to ensure they are effective; • keeping adequate records; • checking output for defects, with appropriate and corrective action where necessary; • regularly reviewing individual processes and the quality system itself for effectiveness; and • facilitating continual improvement

  4. A company or organization that has been independently audited and certified to be in conformance with ISO 9001 may publicly state that it is "ISO 9001 certified" or "ISO 9001 registered". • Certification to an ISO 9001 standard does not guarantee any quality of end products and services; rather, it certifies that formalized business processes are being applied.

  5. After the rapid acceptance of ISO 9000, and the increase of environmental standards around the world, ISO assessed the need for international environmental management standards. They formed the Strategic Advisory Group on the Environment (SAGE) in 1991, to consider whether such standards could serve to: • Promote a common approach to environmental management similar to quality management; • Enhance organizations' ability to attain and measure improvements in environmental performance; and • Facilitate trade and remove trade barriers.

  6. In 1992, SAGE's recommendations created a new committee, TC 207, for international environmental management standards. • The committee, and its sub-committees include representatives from industry, standards organizations, government and environmental organizations from many countries.

  7. The new series of ISO14000 standards are designed to cover: • environmental management systems • environmental auditing • environmental performance evaluation • environmental labeling • life-cycle assessment • environmental aspects in product standards
