The Circular Economy is in motion and building momentum, with ISO standards in play and more to come.

THE BIRTH OF ISO: Global Standards for a Better World: -In 1946, representatives from 25 countries met in London to discuss a shared vision of creating global standards for safer, higher-quality, and universally compatible products and services. -By 1947, their efforts led to the establishment of ISO, dedicated to developing standards that enhance quality across industries. -ISO was not founded by one individual but through the collective vision of leaders like Dr. Karl-Otto Böhme and organizations such as ISA and ECOSOC, aiming to standardize global trade. -Founding Members and Early Efforts The founding members included national standardization bodies from key countries: Switzerland: Swiss Standards Association United States: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) United Kingdom: British Standards Institution (BSI) France: Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR) Germany: German Institute for Standardization (DIN) Italy: Italian Organization for Standardization (UNI) -These members contributed expertise, drafted initial standards, and participated in technical committees. -Early standards focused on industrial areas like materials and engineering to ensure quality and safety in global trade. -Today, ISO has over 160 member countries, with thousands of standards covering industries from manufacturing to technology and the environment. -Stay tuned for more insights! #ISO #GlobalStandards #InternationalTrade #Standardization

“Exploring the Structure and Governance of ISO” Ever wondered how global standards shape the world we live and work in? As part of my ongoing engagement with international standards, I wanted to share a glimpse into the inner workings of ISO and its significance. ISO isn’t just an organization—it’s a collaborative platform made up of 172 national standards bodies. Each member represents ISO within their country, coming together to set global benchmarks for quality, safety, environmental sustainability, and efficiency across industries. What truly drives ISO’s success is its Technical Management Board, which oversees 841 technical committees and subcommittees. These groups work tirelessly to develop and maintain the standards that influence nearly every sector, from technology to manufacturing. To date, ISO has published over 25,613 international standards across various sectors, coordinated and facilitated by its Geneva-based secretariat for broad participation. ISO is built around an ethos of collaboration and believes that standardization plays a key role in transforming our world into a sustainable one. #ISO #GlobalStandards #Governance #QEHS #FSMS #Sustainability #Training SGS
