ISO Standards

We come in contact with ISO standards every day, we don’t even realise it as there are so many examples. You will see hundreds if not thousands of researched symbols and signs that have been developed by ISO technical committees around the world. These convey straight forward messages that cross language barriers. Check out this quick list of a few examples:

  • The signs on packaging telling you “this way up”
  • The symbols on the dashboard of your car
  • ISBN numbers on the inside front cover of your book – unique to every copy of each book
  • Directions and instructions in and around airports
  • Features on your credit card to enable it to be used worldwide
  • The nuts, bolts and screws that hold your chair, desk, bicycle together

Find out more about every ISO Standard by clicking on the ISO Standards - ISO 9001 - ISO 45001 - ISO 14001 - ISO 27001 - ISO 50001
