What is ISO certification?
ISO certification confirms that a business follows an internationally recognised management system standard published by the International Organization for Standardization. Certificates are issued by independent certification bodies after an audit. Many government tenders, large customers and export markets ask for ISO certification as proof of consistent quality and processes.
