What are the ISO standardizations for different industries? The ISO has released a number of standards for different industries, including ISO 27001 certification, ISO 17025, and ISO 13485. This article discusses each standard, which indicates the essentials of different industries, and how they differ from each other. With the objective to standardise quality across the organisation around the globe, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publish a group of quality management systems, which ensure companies involved in business comply with regulatory and statutory requirements in regard to a product. ISO certification helps business to expand since it acts as a badge of quality, and thus, stakeholders and clients, who want to do business with an entity, show more confidence in a business entity. In the present state of globalisation and the Internet-driven economy, the importance of the ISO standardisation has grown exponentially, as business opportunities have ceased to become region specific and ISO certifications inspire confidence among first-time clients and consumers. Given the importance of the standardisation, the ISO has released a number of standards for different industries, including ISO 27001 certification, ISO 17025, and ISO 13485. Each published standards inculcate the essentialities of a business and guides how procedures and process can be streamlined to achieve profits and remove glitches. ISO 27001 A framework of specifications and policies regarding the Information Security Management System (ISMS) of a company, ISO 27001 presents a model to establish, operate, implement, review, monitor, improve and maintain ISMS. The framework does not just focus on physical and technical elements of a system, but also on legal. ISO 27001 certification, technology- neutral guidelines, helps companies follow a top- down and risk-based approach, playing a pivotal role in an organisation’s ISMS. The standards, basically, defines and divides the approach into the six parts: a security policy, scope of the ISMS, risk assessment, management of identified risks, control objectives along with controls implementation, and preparation of the statement of applicability. ISO 17025
A set of the standard published for testing and calibration purpose in laboratories. Originally published by ISO in 1999, it has major elements of ISO 9000; however, ISO 17025 integrates the concept of competence, including calibration and testing, to the quality management system. The general competencies required for testing and calibrations, as well as sampling, which are essential to laboratories results, are charted in the standards, be it laboratory-developed methods, standard methods, or nonstandard methods. The quality management system is developed to focus on the process and working within the laboratory. The standard has become a holy grail for all organisation and laboratories that are involved in testing and calibrations. ISO 13485 Designed to develop a consistent medical device regulatory requirement, the standard has become an essential part of the quality management system for a number of the medical device companies. Developed with a focus on the medical devices industry, the standard helps companies to meet regulatory and customer requirements, consistently. The standard draws the quality management elements from ISO 9001, however, excludes some requirements that do not comply with regulatory needs.
