About ISO

ISO was founded in 1947. It is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 164 national standards bodies. ISO is now the world’s largest developer of voluntary international standards and it facilitates world trade by providing common standards among nations. By 2019, ISO has published over 20,000 international standards.

As one of the primary shareholders of DQS, DIN is one of the members of ISO, with contribution to the draft of a large number of standards.

 

免費的醫療器械和個人防護設備 ISO標準

為了協助應對全球的COVID-19疫情, 國際標準組織(ISO)協同國際電工委員會（IEC）現免費提供與醫療器械和個人防護用品相關的ISO標準。具體清單請參考以上清單。

DQS 學堂 在後列網頁的末尾提供獲得這些免費標準的鏈接: https://www.dqs.hk/training/schedule/。估計ISO會在一定的時間內終止此免費查看服務。

 

關於 國際標準組織 (ISO)

ISO成立於1947年，是一個獨立的、非政府的國際組織，目前已有164個國家的標準機構加入ISO成為其會員。它是目前國際上最大的標準化機構，通過制定共同的標準促進了全球貿易。截至2019年，ISO已經發佈了超過2萬份國際標準。

作爲 DQS 的主要股東之一的 德國標準化學會 (DIN) 是 ISO 的會員之一，並參與了多個標準的起草。
