WHAT IS ISO?

• ISO is documentation of processes (putting what you do into
words)
 No, Documentation is just one of the requirements of ISO, it is meant to
improve quality (Increase Income/Revenue, Less Rejects/rework – zero
defects, improved employee efficiency, improve customer satisfaction)
• ISO is Document heavy
 No, it requires less documents compared to older ISO versions (2008
and before). Mandatory procedures is no longer a requirement.
• ISO is Strict in its hard to comply format (even fonts, numbering,
version number and paper size is dictated by ISO)
 No, ISO does not require any format, it is just an internal requirement of
ISO Auditors or the Organization adapting ISO.
• ISO is for Large or Multinational Corporations Only
 No, Even Micro-businesses, Barangay and other small entities who want
to adapt Quality Practices to improve efficiency can benefit from ISO.
