What is ISO?

Have you heard of the International Organisation of Standardisation or ISO?

Ever seen those little logos on someone’s email signature or their website but not really known much about them or what they stand for?

Well at Eley Consultancy Ltd we hope to provide a bit of information & clarity about the International Organisation of Standardisation and how it can benefit your business.

There are many different types of ISO that an organisation can apply for, regardless of its size and aims and objectives, including:

ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)
ISO 27001 (Information Security Management)
ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety)

Do you want to implement documented procedures throughout your organisation that are consistent and to a recognised standard? If so then 9001 is most likely for you.

Do you want your organisation to be ‘greener’ and improve its environmental performance? If so, then ISO 14001 will help you achieve this greatly.

Do you want to improve the security within your organisation as to how information is collected & stored? Then ISO 27001 will help you to improve this within your company.

Do you want to elevate your Health & Safety to the next level? Would you like to know that all areas of your Health & Safety are to a safe and recognised standard? Then ISO 45001 is the standard for you.

What better way to confirm to confirm to existing or new clients that you take aspects of your business with the utmost respect.

There are also a number of other benefits that applying for an ISO brings, including:

– Being a globally recognised scheme
– Building customer confidence in your organisation that your products are safe & reliable
– Meeting regulation requirements at a lower cost
– Reducing costs across all aspects of your business
– Gaining market access across the world
– Increased efficiency, productivity and profits
– Identifing risks and opportunities
– Preventing problems for reoccurring
– Improving employee performance
