Certain international standards has been issued by The International Organization for Standardisation i.e. ISO (which is an independent & non-governmental organization comprising of 150+ national standard bodies) which certifies the safety, reliability & quality of goods & services. Getting your business ISO certified is now prudent for the overall goodwill of entities. Such norms / standards prove to be a powerful tool which benefits businesses by cost reduction and subsequently increasing overall productivity of such business. It can be taken by any kind of organization regardless of its size.

Some of the very common ISO Certification standards are illustrated below-

4.     ISO 14001:2004 – It certifies that a particular product is environment friendly and complies with laws & regulations which conferred commitment to environmental policy, conservation of water, energy, fuel etc. and prevention of pollution to ensure socio-economic balance.
