This website discusses management standards. For many years, international
standard setting bodies have used experts to develop management standards that
codify existing best practices. In order to promote understanding and to help encourage
the use of these important standards, we’ve translated some of them into plain English.

International organizations such as ISO, IEC, and ITU have developed standards
to mange the quality of products and services, to assure the safety of medical devices
and food products, to control risk, to protect information, and to ensure that business
continues whenever disruptive incidents occur. They’ve also published standards that
are used to protect the environment, the health and safety of workers, and the integrity
of supply chains. Taken together, these management standards offer a wealth of
knowledge and information that both public and private organizations can use to
improve their practices, to enhance their performance, and to achieve success.
