Presentation

1. ISO Standards in Chemistry, Physics, Environmental & Health Sciences Understanding International Standards for Quality, Safety, and Efficiency

2. Introduction to ISO ISO = International Organization for Standardization Independent, non-governmental body based in Geneva, Switzerland Develops globally recognized standards to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency

3. Importance of ISO Standards Ensure consistency and quality in products and services Facilitate international trade by removing technical barriers Protect safety, health, and the environment

4. How ISO Standards are Developed Proposals by member countries Drafting by technical committees International consensus and publication

5. ISO Standards in Chemistry ISO/IEC 17025: Testing and calibration laboratories competence ISO 11885: Determination of metals in water by ICP-OES ISO 14240: Soil quality — determination of organic carbon

6. ISO Standards in Physics ISO 9288: Thermal insulation — Heat transfer by radiation ISO 4892: Plastics — methods for exposure to laboratory light sources ISO 2533: Standard atmosphere reference values

7. ISO Standards in Environmental Science ISO 14001: Environmental management systems ISO 5667: Water quality — Sampling methods ISO 19011: Guidelines for environmental management auditing

8. ISO Standards in Health Sciences ISO 15189: Medical laboratories — Requirements for quality and competence ISO 13485: Medical devices — Quality management systems ISO 10993: Biological evaluation of medical devices

9. Structure of ISO Standards Scope and applicability Normative references and definitions Requirements and guidelines Annexes for additional details

10. ISO 9001 — Quality Management Applicable across industries including laboratories Focus on customer satisfaction and continual improvement Process-based approach with risk management

11. ISO 14001 — Environmental Management Framework for managing environmental responsibilities Improves sustainability and compliance with laws Focuses on reducing environmental impact

12. ISO/IEC 17025 — Laboratory Competence Ensures reliable, accurate test and calibration results Requires proper equipment calibration and staff competence Widely recognized in analytical and research labs

13. ISO 45001 — Occupational Health & Safety Provides framework to improve employee safety Reduces workplace risks Applicable in laboratories, manufacturing, and fieldwork

14. Benefits of ISO Certification Increased customer confidence Improved operational efficiency International recognition of competence

15. ISO in Research and Academia Ensures reproducibility and reliability of results Facilitates collaboration between institutions Helps meet funding and publication requirements

16. Case Study: ISO 17025 in a Chemistry Lab Lab establishes SOPs for testing heavy metals in water Regular calibration of instruments Participation in inter-laboratory proficiency testing

17. Case Study: ISO 14001 in Environmental Monitoring Environmental agency implements waste reduction plan Monitors air and water quality Complies with international environmental laws

18. Challenges in Implementing ISO Standards Initial cost and resource investment Ongoing training requirements Need for continual documentation and auditing

19. Future of ISO Standards Integration with digital and AI technologies Greater focus on sustainability Global harmonization of emerging scientific standards

20. Summary ISO standards improve quality, safety, and efficiency Vital in chemistry, physics, environmental, and health sciences Support international collaboration and trust
