ISO
International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. For
business, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and errors and increasing productivity.
They help companies to access new markets, level the playing
field for developing countries and facilitate free and fair global trade.
The consequences of unsafe food can be devastating, both for consumers and businesses worldwide. With many of today’s food products repeatedly travelling across national boundaries, ISO 22000 is more essential than ever to the safety of the global food supply chain, Now, the standard is being substantially revised to ensure it stays relevant to modern needs.
The records management landscape is changing. With the rise of digital content, and our increasing reliance on it, changes to the way we manage our records are inevitable. The question is how to manage these changes. Look no further than the newly published ISO 15489-1 for all your records management solutions.
Whether we like it or not, public health challenges
are no longer just local, national or regional. They are global. So how can International Standards
help?
In this issue of ISOfocus, we
look at where the progress
is happening, who's to benefit, and what you (and the healthcare industry around the world) can do about
it all. We also investigate some of the most interesting, important and complex advances in healthcare
today.
