The ISO develops standards that help ensure product quality, safety, and efficiency, as well as environmental and social responsibility.

ISO standards cover a wide range of industries and activities, including manufacturing, construction, energy, transportation, healthcare, information technology, and agriculture, among others. Some examples of ISO standards and their applications include:

  1. ISO 9001:2015 - Quality Management Systems: This standard provides a framework for organizations to establish and maintain a quality management system that ensures consistent product and service quality, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement.

  4. ISO 50001:2018 - Energy Management Systems: This standard provides a framework for organizations to establish and maintain an energy management system that reduces energy consumption, improves energy efficiency, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
