detailing these standards are then sold by ISO and its members.
The decision‐making body of ISO is the General Assembly. ISO includes representatives from
the members and elected leaders, who are called principal officers. The headquarters of the ISO
is in Geneva, Switzerland, where the operations are overseen by a central secretariat.
ISO: standards
There is a 6‐stage process for developing standards in the International Organization for
Standardization:
Proposal stage. The proposal stage begins when consumer groups or industry
associations make a request. If a new standard is truly required is determined by a relevant
ISO committee.
Preparatory stage. To prepare a working draft of the new standard, a working group is
prepared, which is composed of experts in the subject matter and the stakeholders of the
industry. The working group's parent committee decides which stage occurs next when the
draft is deemed satisfactory
Committee stage. This stage is not mandatory. In this stage, the members of the parent
committee review and comment on the draft standard.
Enquiry stage. At this stage, the draft standard is called a Draft International Standard
﴾DIS﴿. The draft is distributed among the members of the ISO for their reviews and then
the motion is put to a vote. If the draft is passed by the members, it is published as a
standard. But, if it doesn't, then the draft moves to the approval stage.
Approval stage. To the ISO members, the draft standard is submitted as a Final Draft
International Standard ﴾FDIS﴿. In order to approve the new standard, voting is done.
Publication stage. The FDIS is published as an official international standard if the ISO
members approve the new standard.
ISO: Certification
Certification is a certifying body's assurance that a service, product or system meets the
requirements of the standard as it relates to ISO standards. Conformity with the standards is

certified by the third‐party certification bodies.
The phrase, "ISO certification", according to the ISO, should never be used to indicate that a
product or system has been certified by a certification body as conforming to an ISO standard.
ISO‐certified products can rather be understood by using the full identification of the ISO
standard.
For instance, ISO recommends using the phrase "ISO 9001:2015 certified, instead of "ISO
certified".
Why should your Business be ISO certified?
The steps to getting ISO certified might take a lot of time and can be disruptive in the case of
the business. So you must determine the need for getting your business certified before
actually beginning with the process.
These are some of the reasons why organizations might want to get their businesses certified
by ISO:
Regulatory requirements. To meet the common standards, it is essential that the
products of the business are certified.
Commercial standards. Products and services that are certified to meet minimum
standards are required by some industries when certification is not a regulatory
requirement.
Customer requirements. Some customers like government agencies may prefer or
require certification, even where there is an industry‐standard or regulatory requirement
for certification.
Improved consistency. Consistent quality assurance can be delivered across business
units as well as across international borders with the help of the certification.
Customer satisfaction. A consistent performance by the product or the service is
appreciated by the customers of the enterprise. The certified organization can also resolve
customer issues by their compliance with standards.
