Best ISO Certification Consultants in Iraq | TOPCertifier Certification to the ISO standard can enhance an organization’s credibility by showing customers that its products and services meet expectations. In some instances or in some industries, certification is required or legally mandated. The ISO certification process in Iraq includes implementing the requirements of ISO certification standard and then completing a successful registrar’s audit confirming the organization meets those requirements. There are three main phases. The first is when an industry sector requests the need for a standard. It gets communicated via the national member body to ISO. Once agreed that international standards are required, the technical scope for future standards gets defined by a group consisting of technical experts from countries interested in this project. The second phase is the consensus-building phase, where the countries discuss and negotiate the detailed technical specifications. The third and final phase is the formal approval of the draft international standard. It requires two-thirds approval of ISO members and 75 percent of all the members who vote. Once passed, the agreed text gets published as an ISO standard. Nowadays, interim documents agreed upon during different stages of the standards development process are also published.
