ISO

Abbreviation for International Organization for Standardization

In short and in plain language

ISO is a body that sets standards for the whole world.

Its standards cover goods, services and ways of work. Some say what a firm should do for good quality. Others are about how things are made.

Firms often name such standards on their site. This shows that their ways of work have been checked.

Definition
ISO is an international organisation that publishes standards for products, services and processes. Its standards describe, for example, requirements for quality management or manufacturing processes. Businesses often name such standards on their website as evidence of audited processes.
