Misconception 1: ISO standards are only for large organizations

One of the most common misconceptions about ISO standards is that they are only applicable to large organizations. However, this isn’t true. Standards are designed to be flexible and scalable and can be applied to organizations of any size and type. Whether you’re a small start-up or a multinational corporation, these standards can help you improve your business processes, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce costs.

Misconception 2: ISO standards are too expensive

While it’s true that there are costs associated with implementing standards, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Implementation can help you reduce waste, improve productivity, and increase profitability. Furthermore, the cost for certification is often much lower than those to implement your management systems and maintaining it is even more cost-effective, about 30-50 percent of the initial certification cost.

Misconception 3: ISO standards are too complicated

Some organizations may be hesitant to implement standards because of the concern that they’re just too complicated, but they are designed to be user-friendly and easy to understand. BSI also provides practical tools, schemes, and resources that can simplify the implementation process, providing you support along the way.

Misconception 4: ISO standards only apply to manufacturing companies

While standards were originally designed for manufacturing companies, they have since evolved to cover a wide range of industries and sectors. Whether you’re in the service industry, healthcare, or education, there are standards that can help you improve your business processes and increase customer satisfaction.
