ISO 9000 is related to the quality management system and standards. 3. ISO 14000 relates to environmental management system standards. Which of the statements is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: ISO’s Central Secretariat (headquarters) is located in Geneva, Switzerland, not Rome [1]. Statement 2 is correct: the ISO 9000 family comprises standards for quality management systems (with ISO 9001 as the core requirements standard) and provides guidance for implementing and auditing QMS processes [2]. Statement 3 is also correct: the ISO 14000 family deals with environmental management system standards (notably ISO 14001) to help organizations minimize environmental impact and comply with environmental requirements [2]. Therefore only statements 2 and 3 are correct, so the right option is ‘2 and 3’ (Option 3).
