Finally, ISO 140001 provides guidelines on reducing environmental impact.

The last for numbers only refer to the calendar when the standards were implemented, and in the case of 9001-2015, this was the fifth edition of ISO standards for this designation.
ISO certification offers businesses a range of benefits. The certification can be cost-effective in that it reduces insurance premiums, reduces costs, and helps during the bidding process. Another operational advantage is that it improves efficiency, employee engagement, and customer satisfaction.
The costs for becoming ISO certified vary based on the size of the company and the standards that the company has independently implemented. Moreover, if implementing more than one standard, there are additional costs.
