ISO
ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization. It’s like the conductor of a global symphony, orchestrating the creation and dissemination of standards that ensure everything from the products we use to the services we rely on meet certain benchmarks of quality, safety, and efficiency. So, in essence, ISO means setting the bar for excellence and reliability across a vast array of industries and practices worldwide.

9001
The “9001” in ISO 9001 specifically refers to a standard within the ISO family that outlines requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS). ISO 9001 essentially lays down the guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a quality management system within an organization.
2015
In the context of ISO 9001:2015, the “2015” signifies the version of the ISO 9001 standard that was released in that year. This version represents the latest set of guidelines and requirements for quality management systems as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO 9001:2015 still remains the latest version of ISO 9001.
