Overview :
The mission of the International Standard Organization is to market the development of standardization and its related activities to facilitate the international exchange of products and services. It also helps to develop cooperation within the different activities like spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological, and economic activity.

ISO 9000 Quality Standards :
It is defined as the quality assurance system in which quality components can be organizational structure, responsibilities, procedures, processes, and resources for implementing quality management. Quality assurance systems are created to help organizations ensure their products and services satisfy customer expectations by meeting their specifications.
