ISO 900 is a set of management and production standards that were established to allow all types of businesses to have a standardized system to adhere to. A standardized system established by International Organization for Standardization which makes it available through several national standards entities.
The fact is that ISO 900 accreditation came about to answer a growing need brought about by increased globalization. In fact over one million businesses worldwide are now formally accredited.
Through it all, both sellers and buyers needed something that they could look to for assurance that what or who they were communicating with was offering quality services or product. You see, the days when a buyer can just have quick tour of a local business they are thinking of patronizing are long gone.
Standards make an enormous and positive contribution to most aspects of our lives.
Standards ensure desirable characteristics of products and services such as quality, environmental friendliness, safety, reliability, efficiency and interchangeability - and at an economical cost.
When products and services meet our expectations, we tend to take this for granted and be unaware of the role of standards. However, when standards are absent, we soon notice. We soon care when products turn out to be of poor quality, do not fit, are incompatible with equipment that we already have, are unreliable or dangerous.
When products, systems, machinery and devices work well and safely, it is often because they meet standards. And the organization responsible for many thousands of the standards which benefit the world is ISO.
