It is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.
ISO 14064
ISO 14064 is a set of international standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to guide organizations in quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. Comprising three parts, these standards provide principles and requirements for developing and reporting organizational-level GHG inventories, quantifying emissions reductions or removal enhancements at the project level, and validating and verifying GHG assertions.
FSSC 22000 sets out the requirements for a food safety management system and can be certified to it.
