It is important to emphasize that the application and adaptation of the norms and parameters related to the quality and safety in the production and commercialization processes of the goods and services are voluntary, that is, they are only applied by those industries and companies that really want improve its control of production and industrial safety, which in turn always gives added value to the final product, which allows it to enter the most diverse international markets, since they comply with said safety and production parameters and standards.
The various national standards or standardization bodies located in the different countries of our planet, are responsible for issuing certifications of compliance with ISO standards or quality standards by different participants in the industrial field, such is the case of AFNOR in France, EVS in Estonia, UNI in Italy, ICONTEC in Colombia, IRAM in Argentina, SENCAMER in Venezuela or INN in Chile etc.

In this sense, ISO 9000 and 9001 are a set of preventive actions, to guarantee a service or a product. What this translates is that the product, good or service they are offering complies with the regulations related to quality and safety, which provides greater confidence and safety in the product as it continued with what was established in the Committee of the International Organization Standardization and is certified by the various organizations in the world that are dedicated to endorse such compliance.
