ISO 31000 - Risk management
Risks affecting organizations can have consequences in terms of
economic performance and
professional reputation, as well as environmental, safety and
societal outcomes. Therefore,
managing risk effectively helps organizations to perform well in
an environment full ofuncertainty.
ISO 31000:2009
ISO 31000:2009,Risk managementPrinciples and guidelines,
provides principles, framework
and a process for managing risk. It can be used by any
organization regardless of its size, activity
or sector. Using ISO 31000 can help organizations increase the
likelihood of achievingobjectives, improve the identification of
opportunities and threats and effectively allocate and
use resources for risk treatment.
However, ISO 31000 cannot be used for certification purposes,
but does provide guidance for
internal or external audit programmes. Organizations using it
can compare their risk managementpractices with an internationally
recognised benchmark, providing sound principles for effective
management and corporate governance.
Related Standards
A number of other standards also relate to risk management.
ISO Guide 73:2009,Risk management - Vocabularycomplements ISO
31000 by
providing a collection of terms and definitions relating to the
management of risk.
ISO/IEC 31010:2009,Risk management Risk assessment
techniquesfocuses on risk
assessment. Risk assessment helps decision makers understand the
risks that could affectthe achievement of objectives as well as the
adequacy of the controls already in place.ISO/IEC 31010:2009
focuses on risk assessment concepts, processes and the selection
of
risk assessment techniques.

ISO 9000 - Quality management
The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality
management and contains some of
ISOs best known standards. The standards provide guidance and
tools for companies and
organizations who want to ensure that their products and
services consistently meet customersrequirements, and that quality
is consistently improved.
There are many standards in the ISO 9000 family, including:
ISO 9001:2008 - sets out the requirements of a quality
management system
ISO 9000:2005 - covers the basic concepts and language
ISO 9004:2009 - focuses on how to make a quality management
system more efficient and
effective
ISO 19011 - sets out guidance on internal and external audits of
quality management systems.
ISO 9001:2008
ISO 9001:2008 sets out the criteria for a quality management
system and is the only standard in
the family that can be certified to (although this is not a
requirement). It can be used by any
organization, large or small, regardless of its field of
activity. In fact ISO 9001:2008 isimplemented by over one million
companies and organizations in over 170 countries.
Quality Management Principles
The standard is based on a number of quality management
principles including a strong customer
focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the
process approach and continual
improvement. These principles are explained in more detail in
the pdfQuality ManagementPrinciples.Using ISO 9001:2008 helps
ensure that customers get consistent, good quality
products and services, which in turn brings many business
benefits.
Audits
Checking that the system works is a vital part of ISO 9001:2008.
An organization must perform
internal audits to check how its quality management system is
working. An organization may
decide to invite an independent certification body to verify
that it is in conformity to thestandard, but there is no
requirement for this. Alternatively, it might invite its clients to
audit the
quality system for themselves. Read more aboutcertification to
management system standards.

ISO 26000 - Social responsibility
Business and organizations do not operate in a vacuum. Their
relationship to the society andenvironment in which they operate is
a critical factor in their ability to continue to
operateeffectively. It is also increasingly being used as a measure
of their overall performance.
ISO 26000 provides guidance on how businesses and organizations
can operate in a socially
responsible way. This means acting in an ethical and transparent
way that contributes to the
health and welfare of society.
ISO and social responsibility
ISO 26000:2010
ISO 26000:2010 provides guidance rather than requirements, so it
cannot be certified to unlike
some other well-known ISO standards. Instead, it helps clarify
what social responsibility is,
helps businesses and organizations translate principles into
effective actions and shares best
practices relating to social responsibility, globally. It is
aimed at all types of organizationsregardless of their activity,
size or location.
The standard was launched in 2010 following five years of
negotiations between many different
stakeholders across the world. Representatives from government,
NGOs, industry, consumergroups and labour organizations around the
world were involved in its development, which
means it represents an international consensus.

ISO 14000 - Environmental management
The ISO 14000 family addresses various aspects of environmental
management. It provides
practical tools for companies and organizations looking to
identify and control their
environmental impact and constantly improve their environmental
performance. ISO 14001:2004and ISO 14004:2004 focus on
environmental management systems. The other standards in the
family focus on specific environmental aspects such as life
cycle analysis, communication and
auditing.
ISO and the environment
ISO 14001:2004
ISO 14001:2004 sets out the criteria for an environmental
management system and can be
certified to. It does not state requirements for environmental
performance, but maps out a
framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an
effective environmentalmanagement system. It can be used by any
organization regardless of its activity or sector. Using
ISO 14001:2004 can provide assurance to company management and
employees as well as
external stakeholders that environmental impact is being
measured and improved.
The benefits of using ISO 14001:2004 can include:
Reduced cost of waste management
Savings in consumption of energy and materials
Lower distribution costs
Improved corporate image among regulators, customers and the
public

ISO 50001 - Energy management
Using energy efficiently helps organizations save money as well
as helping to conserve resourcesand tackle climate change. ISO
50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy
moreefficiently, through the development of an energy management
system (EnMS).
ISO and energy management
ISO 50001:2011
Energy Management System
ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual
improvement also used for
other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This
makes it easier fororganizations to integrate energy management
into their overall efforts to improve quality and
environmental management.
ISO 50001:2011 provides a framework of requirements for
organizations to:
Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy
use Measure the results
Review how well the policy works, and
Continually improve energy management.

Like other ISO management system standards, certification to ISO
50001 is possible but notobligatory. Some organizations decide to
implement the standard solely for the benefits it
provides. Others decide to get certified to it, to show external
parties they have implemented an
energy management system. ISO does not perform
certification.

Country Codes - ISO 3166
What is ISO 3166?
ISO 3166 is the International Standard for country codes and
codes for their subdivisions. Thepurpose of ISO 3166 is to
establish internationally recognised codes for the representation
ofnames of countries, territories or areas of geographical
interest, and their subdivisions. However,
ISO 3166 does not establish the names of countries, only the
codes that represent them.
The country names in ISO 3166 come from United Nations sources.
New names and codes are
added automatically when the United Nations publishes new names
in either the Terminology
Bulletin Country Names or in the Country and Region Codes for
Statistical Use maintained bythe United Nations Statistics
Divisions. Names for subdivisions are taken from relevant
official
national information sources.
ISO 3166 was first published in 1974 as a single standard to
establish the country codes. It wasexpanded into three parts in
1997 to include the codes for subdivisions and the codes for
names
of countries that are no longer in use. Of the three parts, Part
1, ISO 3166-1 is generally used themost often.
Who uses ISO 3166-1?
ISO 3166-1 has become one of the worlds most well known and
widely used standards for
coding country names. Using a code of letters and/or numbers to
represent a country name can
help save time and energy, and reduce the rate of error.
The country codes found in ISO 3166-1 are used by many
organizations, businesses andgovernments. For example all national
postal organizations throughout the world exchangeinternational
mail in containers bearing its country code for identification. In
machine readable
passports, the codes from ISO 3166-1 are used to determine the
nationality of the user. In
addition, internet domain name systems use the codes to define
top level domain names such as'fr' for France, 'au' for Australia
and 'br' for Brazil.
How to use ISO 3166-1?
ISO 3166-1:2006, Codes for the representation of names of
countries and their subdivisionsPart 1: Country codesis the most
recent version of the standard.
Within the standard, names of countries are represented by a
two-letter code (alpha-2) which is
recommended as the general purpose code, a three-letter code
(alpha-3) which is more closely
related to the country name, and a three digit numeric code
(numeric-3 - developed and assignedby the UN Statistics Division)
which can be useful when codes need to be understood in
countries that do not use Latin scripts.

ISO 3166-2:2007
ISO 3166-2:2007 establishes codes for the names of the principal
subdivisions (e.g provinces orstates) of all countries coded in ISO
3166-1. This code is based on the two-letter code element
from ISO 3166-1 followed by a separator and up to three
alphanumeric characters. The
characters after the separator cannot be used on their own to
denote a subdivision, they must bepreceded by the alpha-2 country
code.

ISO 3166-3:1999
ISO 3166-3:1999 establishes codes for country names which have
been deleted from ISO 3166-1since its first publication in 1974.
The code elements for formerly used country names have a
length of four alphabetical characters (alpha-4 code) and their
structure depends on the reasonwhy the country name has been
removed from ISO 3166-1.
Country names might be removed from ISO 3166-1 for various
reasons
A country might change a significant part of its name, for
example Burma (BU) was changed to
Myanmar (MM) in 1989. The code element for the formerly used
country name is therefore
BUMM.
A country may divide into two or more new ones, for example
Czechoslovakia was divided intoCzech Republic and Slovakia in 1993.
The code element for the formerly used country name
Czechoslovakia is CSHH, HH meaning that no single successor
country exists.
Two or more countries may merge for example Democratic Yemen
(YD) and Yemen Arab
Republic (YE) merged into the Republic of Yemen (YE) in 1990.
The code element used for the
formerly used country name Democratic Yemen is YDYE.

How ISO 3166 is maintained
All three parts of ISO 3166 are maintained by a maintenance
agency (ISO 3166/MA).The
composition of the ISO 3166/MA reflects the two stakeholder
groups which were primarilyinvolved in the development of ISO 3166
in the early 1970s: national standards organizations,
members of ISO, and United Nations agencies.
Of the ten experts with voting rights on the ISO 3166/MA five
are representatives of the
following national standards organizations:
Association franaise de normalisation AFNOR (France)
American National Standards Institute ANSI (United States)
British Standards Institution BSI (United Kingdom)
Deutsches Institut fr Normung DIN (Germany)
Swedish Standards Institute SIS (Sweden)
The other five are representatives of major UN or other
international organizations who are allusers of ISO 3166-1:
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
Universal Postal Union (UPU)
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)
The ISO 3166/MA has further associated members who do not
participate in the votes but who -
through their expertise - have significant influence on the
decision taking procedure in the
maintenance agency. The members can be contacted through the
secretariat of the ISO3166/MA.

Currency codes - ISO 4217
What is ISO 4217?
ISO 4217 is the International Standard for currency codes. The
most recent edition is ISO4217:2008.
The purpose of ISO 4217:2008 is to establish internationally
recognised codes for therepresentation of currencies. Currencies
can be represented in the code in two ways: a three-letter
alphabetic code and a three-digit numeric code.
Alphabetic code
The alphabetic code is based on another ISO standard, ISO 3166,
which lists the codes for
country names. The first two letters of the ISO 4217
three-letter code are the same as the code
for the country name, and where possible the third letter
corresponds to the first letter of thecurrency name.
For example:
The US dollar is represented as USD - the US coming from the ISO
3166 country code and the D
for dollar.
The Swiss franc is represented by CHF - the CH being the code
for Switzerland in the ISO 3166
code and F for franc.
Numeric code
The three-digit numeric code is useful when currency codes need
to be understood in countries
that do not use Latin scripts and for computerised systems.
Where possible the 3 digit numericcode is the same as the numeric
country code.
For currencies having minor units, ISO 4217:2008 also shows the
relationship between the minorunit and the currency itself (i.e.
whether it divides into 100 or 1000).
ISO 4217:2008 also describes historical codes in table A.3 as
well as the codes representing
certain funds in table A.2.
Maintaining ISO 4217
Periodically, amendments must be made to ISO 4217:2008 and these
are managed by the
Secretariat of the Maintenance Agency, in this case the SIX
Interbank Clearing Ltd on behalf of
the Swiss Association for Standardization, SNV.
More details on how to contact SIX Interbank Clearing Ltd can be
found in the list ofMaintenance Agencies.
