Thought for the day

787368_statue.jpgCertification to ISO 9001 (for quality management) and to ISO 14001 (for environmental management) increased in both cases during 2006 by 16 %.

During the same period, certification to more recent ISO management system standards for the automotive sector (ISO/TS 16949) and the medical device sector (ISO 13485) increased by more than 60 %.

These are among the principal findings of  The ISO Survey – 2006 which for the first time also covered the new ISO/IEC 27001 standard for information security management systems and revealed that nearly 5 800 certificates of conformity to the standard had already been issued in 64 countries.
