Question: 1 / 50

Which organization is responsible for developing global standards and specifications for products, services, and practices?

International Maritime Organization

World Trade Organization

International Standards Organization

The correct answer lies in the role of the International Standards Organization in establishing a framework for consistency and quality across a broad array of industries. This organization, commonly known as ISO, is dedicated to developing and publishing international standards that facilitate trade, ensure product safety, and improve efficiency in various sectors. By providing a common set of specifications, ISO enables organizations from different countries and regions to maintain uniformity in operations, fostering international collaboration and reducing barriers to trade. ISO’s standards cover a wide range of topics, including quality management, environmental management, information security, and many others, shaping how products and services are developed and delivered worldwide. This ensures that consumers and businesses alike can trust the integrity and quality of the products and services they utilize. In contrast, the other organizations mentioned have different focuses; the International Maritime Organization deals specifically with the safety and environmental performance of international shipping, the World Trade Organization primarily focuses on the rules of trade between nations, and the Global Shipping Federation does not exist as a recognized standard-setting body in the same capacity as ISO.
