Why would you need ISO certification?

Apart from the standardisation of an organization, ISO plays an important role in


its proper functioning and efficiency improvement. Let us understand why it is
needed in detail is:

1. Improved Processes:

certification is because it addresses all key processes throughout the
company. Taking into the specifications mentioned by ISO, the
company maintains standard protocol of quality which eventually helps
in improving products and services.

2. Customer satisfaction:

The ultimate objective of any organization is to provide customer


satisfaction. To achieve this, every organization adopts different
measures and one of the best ways to exemplify the same is by going
for ISO certification. Besides, some many clients or customers only
wish to do business with ISO certified companies, so having this
certification will eventually help in establishing trustworthiness and
professional approach.

3. Right decision making:

One of the key things that are imperative for any organization is the
right decision making. Companies must make a decision based on an

a gut feeling. Here comes the role of ISO. It offers a structured
framework for quality management, thus, ensuring the right decision
making.

4. Meet the requirements specified by the government:

Bagging the government contract is a big deal for any company. Any

well so that it can match the criteria specified by the organization.

criteria. Hence, having this certification makes your company eligible to
apply for government contracts.

5. Establishing credibility:

Any organization that wants to gain a competitive edge needs to make


itself credible. There are various ways adopted by an organization to
achieve the same, and one of them is by going for ISO certification. ISO
is a well-known and renowned mark of the credibility of an
organization. Having this certification will automatically attract the
attention of the customer and gain their trust. Thus it adds credibility
to your marketing and advertising strategies.

6. Saving on the cost:

One of the areas where any organization would like to save money is
the cost that it bears because of rework, repair, recall of production,
outdated inventory and other quality issues. Besides, the loss of time
and energy is also an addition to this cost. But, you can save on all this
with ISO certification. With the standard quality management protocol
specified by ISO, there will be a lesser probability of repair and other
losses, thus helping you in saving the capital which can be effectively
used for other tasks. Having error-free business operation methods, it
becomes easier for you to become a more efficient organization.

7. Empowered Employees:

One of the key criteria that any company needs to match to get ISO
certification is the training of the staff. It also provides the necessary
tools for them to perform their tasks like metrics, procedures, and the
right protocol. It eventually helps in making the employees more
knowledgeable, and they can perform their tasks more efficiently and
without flaws.

8. Improved Consistency:
With ISO certification, it has become easier for organizations to take
control of their business processes. Since ISO mentions the specific
protocol which every organization needs to follow, hence, going for this
certification adds consistency to the business process.

9. Have a detailed report of the functioning of your organization:

The ISO certification requires that any organization going for this must-
have documented a detailed process using business metrics. The
objective is to have a detailed guideline for the functioning of the
organization. Moreover, this can also become a protocol for reference
in the future. Also, it guarantees customers about the credibility of the
organization.

10. Achieve international quality recognition:

ISO is a globally recognized quality standard, and any organization that


has this certification matches up to the international quality standards.
The protocol of quality management, production remains the same
globally. Hence, you can approach global clients with ease. Besides, the
certificate also focuses on creating lesser waste and optimal utilization
of resources.

company to identify how important ISO can be for them. If you wish to gain an
