ISO certification is a must for companies which aim to continue their operations well into the future, without fear of being penalized by their industry or government for corporate misconduct. As such, there are various certification consultation companies out there which help other companies achieve their goal of being ISO compliant. Caliso helps by reviewing an organization’s current system of management and gives them advice on how to make improvements to their current systems in order to achieve compliance with ISO.
CE certification is another type of standard that was put forth by the European Community. It aims to protect consumers’ health by issuing directives and implementing quality standards that shall ensure compliance of every EC member states. The community votes on directives, which later become laws that every member state has to comply to. Any member state which fails to obey their laws are considered to have committed a felony, and is punishable by US federal law. US Customs is able to request for any company’s certification if an incident regarding consumer health risks are reported.
Meanwhile, ISO 14000 is a set of standards which covers a company’s impacts on the environment. It is the aim of this set of standards to require all companies to meet quality guidelines in order to minimize their harmful effects on surrounding communities and the environment. This certification is the bread and butter of any green initiative undertaken by companies, and serves as a major requirement for companies which are directly in contact with natural resources such as nature and waterways.
