The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets global benchmarks that help companies improve quality, cut costs, and earn customer trust.
Its most popular framework—ISO 9001 certification (ISO 9001:2015)—is the world’s leading Quality Management System (QMS) standard, followed by businesses in manufacturing, services, healthcare, and education.
