ISO certification
Article Abstract:
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 series of international quality standards was established because of the demand for a common guideline. ISO 9000 certification has become a goal for those organizations that value quality. The certification also provides some degree of assurance to customers about the products and services that they are getting. Unfortunately, some companies consider the certification as a way to eliminate quality concerns.
