Concentrated ISO Power!

2006-06-29

Twenty-eight issues of ISO Management Systems, the unique magazine giving a worldwide overview of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and other global business standards developed by ISO, are now available on a single CD-ROM.

The ISO Management Systems Magazine Database includes the complete collection in both English and French of the 430 articles that appeared in the magazine in the 28 issues from the first September-October 2001 issue up to and including the March-April 2006 issue.

“This means that new subscribers can share in the know-how and knowledge already provided,” says ISO in its introduction to the product, under the headline of “Concentrated ISO Power!” adding, “Both new and existing readers will benefit from the distillation of this information into an electronic, searchable format that they can pop into a briefcase and consult on a computer anywhere in the world.”

ISO Secretary-General Alan Bryden commented: “ISO not only develops standards to help businesses meet the challenges of global markets, but also facilitates their implementation of these standards through communication tools like ISO Management Systems.

“The magazine provides feedback that is useful both for other users and for the experts who develop the standards, and also alerts managers to new developments in standardization. Having this information available in easily portable and rapidly accessible form on a CD-ROM is sure to increase both its dissemination and value.”

ISO Management Systems integrates global business and standards intelligence. It provides a strategic overview of ISO’s global standards for global markets, including coverage of the following:

• worldwide developments related to ISO’s well known management system standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and new ones for food safety, information security and supply chain security
• guidelines for implementing management systems in health care, education and local government
• standards for sustainability, conformity assessment, services, social responsibility and business technologies
• standardization initiatives at national level and outside the ISO system.

The ISO Management Systems Magazine Database on CD-ROM costs 48 Swiss francs. It is available from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details) and from ISO Central Secretariat (see right column).
