Since these standards have been revised to meet the needs of todayࢵsiness world, we recommend that you update your quality and environment management system to fit the new version - ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. A three year transition period has been agreed for moving to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 for the already certified organisations.

At TQ Vision, our resources have been trained on the revised requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 and on smooth transition for already certified organisations.

ISO 22301 (Societal Security- Business Continuity Management Systems - Requirements) is released by ISO as international requirements standard for business continuity management, ISO 22301 specifies the requirements for setting up and managing an effective Business Continuity Management System for any organization, regardless of type or size.

Business continuity contributes to the development of a more resilient society.

ISO 22301 gives your organization access to the requirements of a BCMS that will enable your organization to prepare for disruptive incidents that might otherwise prevent you from achieving your objectives.

The standard can be used to assess an organization͊ ability to meet its own continuity needs and obligations and establish a business continuity management policy that provides a framework for implementing effective business continuity arrangements.

The ISO 22301 specifies the requirements to:

  Identify crucial risk factors already affecting your organization
  Understand your organization஥eds and obligations
  Establish implement and maintain your BCMS
  Measure your organization௶erall capability to manage disruptive incidents
  Guarantee conformity with stated business continuity policy

Protect your staff and your reputation: If disruption is not an option for your business, implementing ISO 22301 allows you to develop a best practice approach. The standard has been specifically designed to ensure continued business functionality during the most unexpected circumstances.
 

Does ISO 9000 Certification Pay?
Extract from ISO Management Systems

The study analyse the financial performance data of ISO 9000 QMS certified companies in three US business sectors over a 10-year period (1988-1997) against that of control groups of non-certified firms in the same sectors which had a comparable business performance prior to the launching of ISO 9000 QMS programmes by the first groups. Did ISO 9000 QMS make a positive difference to financial performance ?

They find that certification does appear to lead to improved financial performance, measured by... return on assets (ROA).

Firms that failed to seek ISO 9001 QMS certification experienced substantial deteriorations in ROA, productivity, and sales, while firms that did seek certification generally managed to avoid such declines.

The study results suggest that failing to seek ISO 9001 QMS certification contributes to gradually worsening performance.

After deciding to seek their first ISO 9000 QMS certification, firms have made changes that, directly or indirectly, led to relative improvements in ROA, both through superior cost control and higher sales.

ISO prevents misuse of its name on Internet to the benefit of consumers
Reproduced from ISO Website www.iso.org

ISO has recently scored new successes in its fight to prevent its name being misused on the Internet to mislead people into buying products or services that they believe are endorsed by ISO.

The Arbitration and Mediation Center of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) ruled that the following Internet domain names, which had been registered by companies with no connection to ISO, be transferred to ISO:

iso1stop.com, iso9000commerce.com, isoeasy.com, isoeasy.org, isoeasy.info, isonet.net and isotraining.net.

WIPO upheld ISO’s contention that the inclusion of “iso” in the domain names gave the misleading impression that the Web sites were sponsored by ISO, or affiliated to it. The WIPO arbitrators found that the domain names had been registered with a view to commercial gain by the registrants since Internet users could be attracted to the sites mistakenly believing them to be connected to ISO.

ISO has published more than 15 000 International Standards including the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 management system standards which at the end of 2004 were implemented by some 760 900 organizations in 154 countries

The success of ISO’s standards has been accompanied by the growth of organizations offering related products and services such as certification of conformity, consultancy, training, publications and software. The majority operates in a business-like manner without infringing ISO trademarks, but some make use of ISO’s name in a way that could confuse potential customers into believing that these organizations are part of ISO, or that they, their products or services are endorsed by ISO.

This has led ISO to take even more vigorous action in recent years to protect Internet users from making such abusive purchases and to pursue organizations refusing to comply with ISO’s policy on the use of its name and logo.

Mr. José Checa, Legal Adviser at ISO Central Secretariat, commented: “To date, ISO has successfully filed several cases with the WIPO Center, in addition to some court actions in several countries. These decisions have confirmed that ISO is a famous mark protected in most countries and that any unauthorized registration as an Internet domain name of the mark ISO – alone or in combination with other words – in the context of standardization and related activities should not be permitted.”

ISO’s policy on the use of its name and logo can be consulted on its Web page, along with guidelines on publicizing certification to its ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 standards.
