The ISO9000 series of standards is perhaps the most popular generic international standard in use today.

Over 75 nations have already adopted and recognized it. Many organizations have utilized ISO9000 as a standard to create their quality systems.
ISO's purpose is to facilitate international trade by providing a single set of standards that people everywhere would recognize and respect. The term ISO 9000 refers to a set of quality management standards. ISO 9000 currently includes four core standards: ISO 9000:2000, ISO 9001:2000, ISO 9004:2000 and ISO 9001:2000 contains requirements, while ISO 9000:2000 is the QMS fundamentals & vocabulary ISO 9004:2000 is the guideline for performance improvement and ISO 19011 is the guideline for quality & environment auditing. ISO first published its quality standards in 1987, revised them in 1994, and then republished an updated version in 2000. These new standards are referred to as the "ISO 9000 2000 Series of Standards".
ISO 9000 is important because of its international orientation. While the content itself is useful, it alone does not account for its widespread appeal. Currently, ISO 9000 is supported by National Standards bodies in over 120 countries. This makes it the logical choice for any organization that does business internationally, or serves customers who demand an international standard of quality.

ISO guidelines for improving quality management in local government

ISO has just released guidelines for improving quality management in local government worldwide through the implementation by public authorities of its ISO 9001:2000 management system standard.Quality management systems – Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001:2000 in local government, is not intended for certification and does not require the public authorities that use it to seek ISO 9001:2000 certification. This is a decision for them to make based on their particular context. It gives advice on implementing ISO 9001:2000, but does not alter in any way the requirements of that standard.

Four Key Elements ISO 22000

• Management, Including Policy, Obligation, Organization and Resources: The contents of the standard include a corporate requirement to demonstrate effective internal communication within the company, and that the management should lead the way in doing this. There are also demands regarding communication to both suppliers and customers. This includes a definition of the systems necessary to ensure agreement between the expectations of sales staff and purchasers regarding products.
• HACCP Plan and Principles: Food safety is defined as the absence of risk factors above a certain acceptable level. By employing the well known HACCP principles, a decision is made as to where there are critical control points (CCPs) in the process, how these are to be monitored and how they can be brought back under control. The management system must be focused, which means the number of CCPs should be kept to a minimum.
• Other Measures: Other conditions that require control are described as “other measures”. These should be present, documented and working well to ensure the efficiency of the system. The standard describes how a controlling measure is categorized as regards CCPs and other measures, but does not include a decision tree.
• Communication: There are also demands regarding accessible information about products, storage conditions and the development of new foodstuffs and food products, as well as the education and training of staff whose work has an impact on food safety.

HOW TO PURSUE ISO CERTIFICATION

Firstly, you need to evaluate the effect your organisation has on the environment. You then need to prioritise ways in which you might reduce them. Next, identify the boundaries of your management system and document your procedures for implementing the requirements of ISO 14001. You will need to ensure these procedures are implemented and then audited. If you have ISO 9000 systems in place, many of the requirements of ISO 14001 will already be covered, or can be easily incorporated into them.
Once developed, internal audits are needed to ensure the system carries on working. The setting of targets for the environmental policy and continual measuring against it ensures the system is maintained.
The certification has to follow a few steps:
· Documents Review
· Internal Audit
· Verification and Corrective Actions (If needed)
· Pre-Certification Audit
· Verification and Corrective Actions (If needed)
· External Audit
· Verification and Corrective Actions (If Needed)
· Certification
