The ISO Quality standards and information were published by the Geneva based International Organization for Standardization in 1987. These standards have been adopted by 112 nations. ISO standards provide a ISO 9001 Quality Management system if standards implemented in the organization are in compliance with the ISO quality standards.

ISO specifies requirements for a Quality Management system overseeing the production of a product or a service. There is a wrong illusion that ISO quality standards and information give assurance about quality of a product. It doesn’t give assurance for the quality of a product but inspects the process of production and how it will be managed or stored.

ISO standards are mainly for manufacturers starting from the information they got and going through the design, implementation and engineering phase to the final product packaging process. If your system is incomplete then you have to carry out internal audits to check for compliance with the ISO quality standards and information and take necessary steps to like train employees.
