World Standards Day 2023: Every year on October 14, the world celebrates World Standards Day (also known as International Standards Day). The day celebrates the work of thousands of professionals who create voluntary standards within standards-setting organizations. Delegates from 25 countries gathered in London in 1946 and decided to create an international group to promote standardization. The first World Standards Day was celebrated only in 1970, despite the fact that ISO was founded a year later.

List of popular international standards
ISO 45001: ISO 45001 builds on the success of earlier international standards in this field such as OHSAS 18001, ILO-OSH guidelines of the International Labor Organization, various national norms and ILO international labor standards and conventions.
ISO 639: Internationally recognized codes for representing more than 500 languages ​​or language families, with ISO 639. This ISO standard can be applied to many types of organizations and situations. It is invaluable for bibliographic purposes, in libraries or information management, including computer systems, and for representing different language versions on web pages.
ISO 4217: This standard establishes internationally recognized codes for the representation of currencies that enable clarity and reduce errors. People around the world rely on almost 300 different currencies to do business with each other, which is why it pays to use ISO 4217.
ISO 8601: This ISO standard helps eliminate doubts that can arise from the various day-date conventions, cultures and time zones that affect global business. It provides a way to represent dates and times that are clearly defined and understandable to both humans and machines.
The order of elements used to express date and time in ISO 8601 is as follows: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.
ISO 9660: ISO 9660 gave rise to the popular use of the term ISO-image, which is used to refer to an exact disc image. This formed the basis for a standard submitted and published by Ecma International, one of a number of organizations in collaboration with ISO. Subjected to ISO’s accelerated process, it quickly evolved into ISO 9660, which was published in 1988.
ISO 13216: ISO 13216-1 describes a universal system for attaching child restraint systems to vehicles. The purpose of this system is to improve the overall safety performance of child safety seats, in particular by improving the convenience of installation and reducing the risk of misuse. It is a perfect example of how ISO connects manufacturers of different products to work together, using international standards as a basis for creating compatible products that make everyday life safer and more convenient.
ISO 6: ISO 6 allowed photographers to choose the right film for their subject, taking into account things like lighting and shutter speed. If you look at any dedicated digital camera, you’ll still find a reference to ISO and the time when all the photography was on film.
ISO 14001: ISO 14001 sets the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified. It outlines a framework that a company or organization can follow to establish an effective environmental management system. It offers requirements with guidelines for use related to environmental protection systems. Other standards in the family focus on specific approaches such as audits, communications, labeling and life cycle analysis, as well as environmental challenges such as climate change.
ISO/IEC 17025: ISO/IEC 17025 is useful for any organization that carries out testing, sampling or calibration and wants reliable results. This includes all types of laboratories, whether owned and operated by government, industry or, indeed, any other organisation. It helps facilitate collaboration between laboratories and other bodies creating wider acceptance of results across countries.
ISO 13485: ISO 13485 is designed for use by organizations involved in the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of medical devices and related services. It can also be used by internal and external parties, such as certification bodies, to assist them in their audit processes. The new version has a greater emphasis on risk management and risk-based decision-making, as well as changes related to increased regulatory requirements for supply chain organizations.
ISO 22000: ISO 22000 sets the requirements for a food safety management system and can be certified under it. It shows what an organization needs to do to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards to ensure food is safe. It can be used by any organization regardless of size or position in the food chain.
ISO 26000: ISO 26000 provides guidelines, not requirements, so it cannot be certified, unlike some other well-known ISO standards. It is intended for people who recognize that respect for society and the environment is a key success factor. In addition to being the “right thing to do,” ISO 26000 implementation is increasingly seen as a way to assess an organization’s commitment to sustainability and its overall performance.
ISO 31000: ISO 31000, Risk management – ​​Guidelines, provides the principles, framework and process for risk management. It can be used by any organization regardless of size, activity or sector. Using ISO 31000 can help organizations increase the likelihood of achieving objectives, improve the identification of opportunities and threats, and effectively allocate and use resources to treat risks.
ISO 37001: ISO 37001 can be used by any organization, large or small, whether in the public, private or voluntary sector, and in any country. It is an international standard that enables organizations of all types to prevent, detect and resolve bribery by adopting an anti-bribery policy, appointing a person to oversee anti-bribery compliance, training, risk assessments and due diligence on projects and business associates, implementing financial and commercial controls, and initiation of reporting and investigation procedures.
ISO 3166: The purpose of ISO 3166 is to define internationally recognized codes of letters and/or numbers that we can use when referring to countries and their subdivisions. However, it does not define country names – this information comes from a United Nations source (Terminological Bulletin Country Names and Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division).
ISO 50001: ISO 50001 is based on the continuous improvement management system model that is also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management and develop policy for more efficient use of energy.
ISO 20121: ISO 20121 offers guidance and best practice to help you manage your event and control its social, economic and environmental impact. Every action is important, from relying on tap water instead of plastic bottles to encouraging the use of public transport. It was developed with the guidance of various stakeholders to help you reduce various costs.
