What is ISO?<\/h2>\n

\nThe International Standardization Organization, or ISO, is an independent nongovernmental organization that develops and publishes a larger variety of international standards. ISO was officially formed in 1947 with 67 groups of experts in international standardization and published its first standard in 1951. Today it\u2019s composed of 792 technical committees made up of 165 experts from 165 countries and has published 23,302 international standards. ISO standards are essentially formulas that describe the best way of making a product, performing a service, supplying materials or managing processes that are agreed upon by experts. In addition to developing these standards, ISO also does research and education and outreach to increase public awareness of standards and standardization.<\/p>\n

What are the Three Levels of ISO?<\/h2>\n

There are three groups of ISO standard accreditation. The first level is ISO 90001which certifies that an organization has developed and uses official written procedures for customer service, design of products, manufacturing, packaging, shipping, etc. ISO 90001 standards are focussed on customer service and can retain the accreditation through meticulous documentation of complaints, and consistent documentation of corrective and preventative actions taken to improve. ISO 17025 standard accreditation certifies that tests performed to evaluate quality are performed correctly and uniformly. These standards are needed in order to ensure that they are indeed identifying what is and is not a quality product. In order to do so, this standard examines research and design operations, manufacturing and quality control activities, contracts, quotations, and third-party vendors used. ISO 17034 standard<\/a> accreditation is given to those who produce Certified Reference Materials (CRM). These standards evaluate the methods that manufacturers use to certify their CRMs.<\/p>\n
