ISO Quality Certificates

In which an organization carries out its activities; The environment, which includes air, water, soil, natural resources, plant community (flora), animal community (fauna) and humans, and the relationship between it is called "environment". It is an undeniable fact that this environment in which people live and live together is gradually disappearing as a result of developing technology and industry. Environmental pollution is one of the most important problems threatening human life and quality of life in recent years, due to the increasing world population, the dizzying speed of development and progress of technology, the shrinkage of living spaces, the destruction of the natural environment, noise, faulty practices, lack of information and many other reasons. Environmental problems and pollution, which have become one of the problems threatening humanity since the second half of the 20th century, have become well felt as a result of industrialization. Environmental problems, which were previously perceived only as pollution and had a local feature without gaining an international dimension, increased rapidly day by day, got rid of locality and became the problem of the whole world. At this point, environmental standards, national and international legal regulations for the environment have been put into practice in order to reduce the damage caused by humanity to the environment. In this context, the standard series published by the International Standards Organization (ISO) for the protection of the environment is called the ISO 14000 series. The ISO 14000 series standards are, in essence, a set of standards aimed at reducing the use of natural resources and minimizing the damage to soil, water and air. It bases this on the monitoring and continuous improvement of environmental performance and requires compliance with the conditions defined by the relevant legislation and laws regarding environmental factors. The standard documented in the ISO 14000 series is the ISO 14001 Standard. ISO 14001 is a standard that guides the determination of environmental factors in the process from the raw material to the presentation of the product to the customer and minimizing the damage to the environment by controlling these factors with necessary precautions. ISO 14001 is a management system developed for the systematic reduction and, where possible, the elimination of the damages caused or may be caused by the enterprises to the environment. Since the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard and the related standards series are in harmony with the environmental laws and regulations in force in all countries, the practices are generally in parallel with the fulfillment of the obligations brought by the legislative requirements and form the basis for the implementation of the applications within a system. . The ISO 14000 standard series includes many standards. The most important and well-known among these standards are: • ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems - Terms and User's Guide • ISO 14004 Environmental Management Systems - General Guide to Principles, Systems and Supporting Techniques • ISO 14020 Environmental Labels and Statements - General Principles • ISO 14031 Environmental Management - Environmental Performance Evaluation - Guide • ISO 14040 Environmental Management - Lifetime Evaluation - Principles and Framework In conclusion; • The ISO 14001 Standard is a standard created to minimize the damage to the environment. • ISO 14001 practices are generally in line with meeting regulatory obligations. • ISO 14001 is not a product standard, it deals with how it is produced, not what is produced. • It is a voluntary management system that can be applied to every business regardless of sector and scale. What are the Benefits of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System? • Compliance with national and international legal regulations is ensured. • Facilitates obtaining permission and authorization documents. • It gains reputation in the national and international arena. • Costs arising from environmental effects decrease. • As a result of effective use of natural resources, costs decrease and productivity increases. • Customer confidence is enhanced by reassuring the customer that an obligation to environmental management is undertaken. • Reduces liability events, thus providing the potential to reduce liability insurance costs. • Pollution arising from company activities is taken under control starting from the source and pollution is reduced. • By identifying potential danger situations, there is a decrease in incidents resulting in loss, as it is prepared for emergencies and accidents. • Workplace quality, therefore, employee morale is increased and loyalty to the business increases. • Thanks to the training given to the personnel, the environmental awareness of the employees is increased. • It facilitates entry into markets where green production processes are important. Who Can Use/Apply the ISO 14001 Standard? ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard has begun to be perceived as almost a product and service passport for organizations that want to hold a respectable place in the international and national market. All organizations and manufacturers that provide products and services, especially industrial organizations and public institutions, can apply the standard.

The production and supply of healthy and safe foods is the most basic and indispensable element of a healthy diet. For this purpose, various control methods and approaches have been developed by various groups, academics and official authorities, including manufacturers, processors, carriers, wholesale and retail sales organizations. It is seen that the measures taken for the realization of safe food production in the old approaches are generally evaluated on the basis of the controls on the end product. Control applications made in the final products show the errors and hazards present in the final product. Today, for safe food production, starting from the production of raw materials, additives, auxiliary materials and packaging materials, the necessity of an approach that keeps the selection and evaluation of suppliers, their acceptance into the business, production stages, including final storage and shipment, has emerged. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) System is one of these approaches. Relevant official bodies and national standards organizations of various countries have made important regulations regarding the HACCP System and published standards. Despite the fact that the emergence of the HACCP concept has a history of more than 30 years and the concept has international validity, a common and comprehensive standard that will be accepted worldwide for the HACCP System has not been established during this time. In international markets, the fact that almost every country has a food safety standard and the difficulty and reluctance of other countries to adapt to each other has revealed the need to prepare and publish an international standard on this subject. For this purpose, ISO 22000 Standard has been started to be prepared by TC 34, one of the working groups within the International Standards Organization (ISO), and the related standard has been adopted as an international standard with the name "ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Systems - Requirements for All Organizations in the Food Chain". It was published in September 2005. Although ISO 22000 is the standard that defines the conditions to be applied during the establishment of the Food Safety Management System and is documented, there are also published guide standards and all of them are called ISO 22000 series. Although there are many standards in the ISO 22000 series, ISO/TS 22004 is the application guide of ISO 22000. The ISO 22000 Standard is not a standard that conveys the applications of ISO 9001 for the food industry, as some people have conveyed. However, it is also very ideal for the work of establishing an integrated system in accordance with ISO 22000, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and is a food safety standard that fully covers the concept of HACCP. The basic approach of the ISO 22000 Standard is the implementation of a preventive system in organizations that has been developed to prevent the consumer from being exposed to food-borne diseases, and that keeps all processes in the food chain under control, together with all their influences such as infrastructure, personnel and equipment. Food Safety Management System applications in organizations production control, product control, equipment control; maintenance and general hygiene practices, personnel and visitor hygiene; transport, storage, product information; training, supplier selection and evaluation; It covers education, communication and similar issues. The main target is the system that determines the focus of risks that may arise from process (process) errors in the product, that cannot be tolerated, and that ensures product quality and consumer health. Food safety inspections in product, design, production and quality control play a role in determining and resolving potential hazards. Basically, ISO 22000 plays a role not only in food safety, but also in the increase in sensory and nutritive quality, and it also constitutes a basic and indispensable part of quality assurance in industrial production, service and service applications. In the Food Safety Management System, everyone is given responsibility during and after production, and a good motivation is provided with more participation. In addition, resources are used more effectively, losses are reduced, productivity is increased and the enterprise can turn towards the total quality system. In the food industry, each unit must fulfill the conditions that will ensure food safety while under its own control. Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) are the programs that enable the Food Safety Management System to sit on a solid foundation. These conditions and their applications, which have traditionally been carried out within the framework of GMP, GHP, GLP, GAP and other similar concepts, are now accepted as a prerequisite in the preparation and implementation of effective HACCP plans and in the production of reliable food. Prerequisite programs ensure that the basic environmental and production conditions in safe food production are controlled. Some commonly used prerequisite programs can be listed as GMP, GHP, GAP. As a result; • Food safety is related to the presence and levels of hazards arising from food at the point of consumption. Adequate control in the food chain is essential, as food safety hazards can arise at any stage of the food chain. Therefore, food safety is the joint responsibility of all parties involved in the food chain. • Mistakes in food supply can lead to violations, bad reputation, malnutrition, poor quality produce, reduced earnings, human suffering, death. • ISO 22000 ensures the integrity of the food chain's safety by minimizing food-borne hazards by eliminating weak links in the food chain. • ISO 22000 has scientific meaning for those involved in food processing, production, storage, distribution of food and food products, where the system is adopted and implemented. • The purpose of ISO 22000 for the Food Safety Management System is to ensure food safety and security. • ISO 22000 can be implemented on its own or in combination with other management system standards such as ISO 9001. What are the Benefits of ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System? • Provides more effective and dynamic food safety hazard control. • It ensures the reduction of food-borne diseases. • Increases customer loyalty and satisfaction. • Provides systematic management and control of prerequisite programs. • It reduces the cost of poor quality by preventing issues such as product return. • It provides support and organization of communication between all links of the food industry chain. • Provides resource optimization and increases in personnel competence. • Contributes to the improvement of the working environment. • It facilitates the improvement and monitoring of documentation. • Provides better planning. • It ensures that the problems encountered in official audits are minimized. • It ensures compliance with laws. • It contributes to prove the attention paid to food safety to customers and increase the market share. • As a supplier, it ensures harmony with other organizations in foreign markets and more effective marketing in the foreign market. • There is an increase in potential for economic growth and development. Who Can Use/Apply the ISO 22000 Standard? ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Standard; It can be used by all organizations directly or indirectly involved in the food chain, including: • Farms, fishermen and dairy farms, • Meat, fish and food businesses, • Bread, cereals, soft drinks, canned and frozen food producers, • Restaurants, fast food chains, hospitals, hotels and mobile food vendors, • Food preservation and distribution companies and companies that supply food processing equipment, food additives, food raw materials, packaging materials and sterilization facilities. In summary, every institution and organization that is involved in the food industry or has close-to-close contact with this industry; It must partially or fully implement the demands of the ISO 22000 Standard.

What is ISO 27001 Information Security Management System? Information is one of the most important values of an institution in ensuring business continuity. While it is possible to recover many assets in case of loss, the lost information has no monetary equivalent. For this reason, in today's changing and developing conditions, the importance of information and the necessity to protect it are increasing. Information; It can be used and stored in electronic media, verbally, in the memories of employees and in many other ways. Due to technological developments, many of these usage patterns may not be used or may change over time. Because of this change and development, it is necessary to constantly question and control the security of information. Information security is the protection of the confidentiality, integrity and usability of information. ISO 27001 Information Security Management System is a management system that includes people, processes and information systems in ensuring corporate information security and is supported by senior management. It is designed to protect information assets and provide adequate and proportionate security controls that give confidence to interested parties. ISO 27001 Information Security Management System includes corporate structure, policies, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources. Why is ISO 27001 Necessary? It is an approach accepted all over the world that it is not possible for an organization to protect information security and business continuity with only technical measures, and that some measures and controls such as ISMS should be provided. Top management and all employees should support and properly implement the security policies to be established within the framework of ISMS. In addition, the compliance of all the people and organizations with which we cooperate with these policies is a factor that increases security. What are the Benefits of ISO 27001 Information Security Management System? • Provides accurate, reliable and valid information. • It prevents extra workload and unnecessary waste of time. • It minimizes risks. • Provides business continuity. • It ensures the protection of the confidentiality of information assets. • Increases awareness of information systems and how to protect vulnerabilities across the organization. • It is ensured that the accuracy and integrity of the information and its methods are preserved and that its content does not change. • The criteria required by the legal parties are met. • Access to information assets is protected. • Corporate reputation is protected. • It provides competitive advantage. Who is ISO 27001 Interested in? ISO 27001 is suitable for all organizations, large or small, from any country or industry in the world. This standard is particularly necessary in areas where it is of great importance, such as the finance, healthcare, public and information technology sectors. ISO 27001 is also very important for organizations that manage information on behalf of others, such as IT subcontractors. It can be used to reassure customers that their information is protected. The sectors that are required to obtain ISO 27001 are as follows: • Firms that have signed an assignment contract • Firms that have signed a concession agreement • Firms that provide satellite communication services • Firms that provide infrastructure management services • Firms that provide fixed phone services • Firms that provide GMPCS mobile phone services • Firms that provide virtual mobile network services • Internet service providers • Companies that provide GSM 1800 mobile phone service in aircraft • Companies that want to obtain e-invoice special integrator authorization • Export companies that want to get authorization to facilitate customs affairs • Companies that provide electronic communication network and operate its infrastructure • Companies operating in the IT sector and public Where is ISO 27001 Certificate Obligatory for software, hardware and integrator companies entering tenders? • With the amendments published in the Official Gazette dated 26.12.2014 and numbered 29217, Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) has made it mandatory to have ISO 27001 Information Security Management System certificate for companies in the Petroleum, Electricity, Natural Gas Markets. • T.R.

The ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard, which will replace the OHSAS 18001 Standard, completed the committee draft stage and became a draft. The committee draft, which was not accepted in the first voting, was renewed and submitted to the vote again. The second committee draft was accepted by voting and thus the general articles of the standard were accepted. ISO 45001 has been prepared in accordance with the new system created by ISO for quality systems. The standard, which is called Annex SL and created from 10 items in accordance with the structure that forms the roof of the quality systems, becomes compatible with other quality systems. OHSAS 18001 is still valid and will be valid for a while after the new ISO 45001 standard is published. Today, production is increasing day by day, and in parallel with this, energy resources are decreasing. With the increase in production, the concepts of effective use of energy resources, energy saving, energy efficiency, recycling and reuse gain importance in industries. Considering all these, it is inevitable to save energy and create an energy management system. Energy management is the efficient use of energy without compromising safety, production quality and quantity, and environmental responsibilities. The ISO 50001 Energy Management System Standard ensures that organizations create the processes and systems necessary to increase energy efficiency, implement and maintain these processes and systems. The standard covers all types of energy. It encourages all organizations towards effective energy management, cost reduction and environmental awareness. What are the Benefits of ISO 50001 Energy Management System? • It reduces energy consumption with the help of projects put into practice. • Keeps energy-related costs under control and reduces. • Keeps the use of existing devices and equipment under control. • Provides information about performance by monitoring energy consumption. • Increases efficiency and ensures compliance with the law. • It reduces the negative environmental impact caused by waste. • It increases the prestige in the society regarding energy awareness. • It contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. • Provides resource savings when integrated with other management systems. Who Can Use/Apply the ISO 50001 Standard? ISO 50001 Energy Management System Standard has been created in a structure suitable for the application of all types and sizes of organizations, private or public institutions, and any organization operating in the service or production sector. Energy-related working organizations are directly related.

The expectations of customers and consumers from the organizations from which they receive products and services are gradually increasing. It is no longer enough to just offer quality products or services, but organizations are also expected to fulfill their social responsibilities. These expectations have caused the classical definitions of "quality" to lose their validity; In the definitions, expressions related to occupational health and safety started to appear and the definition was expanded with the addition of social responsibilities. Now, when the word "quality" is mentioned, it is also questioned to what extent the organizations comply with the legislation on occupational health and safety, whether they create a safe and healthy working environment for the relevant parties, and whether they continuously improve this environment. Working environments are full of various environmental factors that pose personal health and safety risks, arising from the processes and materials used and produced. Every employee and manager has the main responsibility for the measures to be taken to ensure a healthier and safer life in our workplaces, where we spend an average of one-third of our daily lives. Achieving these humane safe environments can only be achieved by adopting the rules in this regard as a lifestyle. The inability to create a healthy and safe working environment for employees in all aspects is one of the most important problems of working life today. In many countries, especially in developing and industrialized countries like us, some problems related to occupational health and safety arise, and these problems affect the work efficiency as well as the health of the employees. In both the manufacturing and service sectors, making workplaces healthy and safe for employees is mandated by law. At this point, the OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard, abbreviated by combining the initials of the phrase Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, and published by the British Standards Institute (BSI) in 1999, can help to fulfill this obligation, can be examined and It is an internationally accepted standard. OHSAS 18001 is an effective tool that can be applied to all kinds of sectors and activities, and is used to systematically address occupational health and safety activities in accordance with the general strategies of the organizations and to solve them within the framework of a continuous improvement approach. With the help of this standard, it is possible to establish a management system in which occupational health and safety risks are determined, analyzed and minimized with measures, in compliance with the legislation, occupational health and safety objectives are found and practices are implemented to achieve them. In this way, employees will be part of a system that gives due importance to occupational health and safety activities in an organization that is ready for emergencies, monitors occupational health and safety performance, uses monitoring results to initiate improvement activities, supervises their activities, reviews and documents what they do. The main purpose of OHSAS 18001 is; is to create and manage a healthy and safe working environment by eliminating or minimizing the risks in question in the light of the legal regulations regarding occupational health and safety. To explain in more detail, the objectives of OHSAS 18001 that we can gather under three main headings are as follows: 1) Protecting the employees: Protecting the employees from the negative effects of the workplace, ensuring that they work in a comfortable and safe environment is the first purpose of occupational health and safety. 2) Ensuring production safety: One of the objectives of occupational health and safety is to minimize labor and workday losses that may occur due to work accidents and occupational diseases, thus protecting production (product and/or service) by increasing work efficiency. 3) Ensuring operational safety: With the measures taken in the working environment, the elimination of fire, explosion, machine failures and failures that may endanger the operation will ensure operational safety. Many organizations implement an Occupational Health and Safety Management System as part of their risk management strategy to comply with changing laws and protect their workforces. This system promotes a safe and healthy work environment by providing a framework that allows organizations to consistently identify and monitor health and safety risks, reduce accident risks, assist with compliance, and improve overall performance. OHSAS 18001 is an international standard that is compatible with quality and environmental standards, as well as determining the requirements for occupational health and safety. For this reason, OHSAS 18001 can be easily integrated into other management systems. OHSAS 18001 not only shows that organizations comply with the legal regulations related to occupational health and safety, but also increases productivity and efficiency in the workplace thanks to the continuous improvement of the work environment. OHSAS 18001 is a standard for employee health and work safety rather than the safety of organizations' products and services. There are two basic standards in the OHSAS series. Of these, OHSAS 18001 is the standard used for evaluation and certification purposes, where specifications are given. OHSAS 18002 is the application guide of OHSAS 18001. As a result; • With a proactive approach, OHSAS 18001 aims to detect possible hazards that may result in damage and to take necessary precautions. • OHSAS 18001 practices are generally in line with meeting legal obligations. • It is a voluntary management system that can be applied to every business regardless of sector and scale.

It ensures that precautionary practices are clearly defined and that these activities are carried out. As a result, accidents are prevented. • By preventing production stoppages and slowdowns due to accidents and diseases, it reduces compensation expenses, fines and indemnities, and reduces operating costs. • It provides competitive advantage by increasing the prestige of the organization. • With the measures taken in the working environment, fire, explosion, machine malfunctions, etc. that may endanger the operation. As a result of eliminating the situations, it ensures operational safety and strengthens the safety culture. • By minimizing work and workforce losses that may occur due to work accidents and occupational diseases, it provides an increase in work efficiency and a decrease in costs. • It proves the sensitivity of the organization to occupational safety in front of official authorities. • It provides document, effort and system savings with the advantage of establishing a system integrated with other management system standards. Who Can Use/Apply the OHSAS 18001 Standard? The OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard can be adopted by any organization that wishes to implement a formal procedure to reduce, eliminate or minimize health and safety risks to employees, customers and the public in the workplace. Since it is a general standard, it can meet the needs of organizations of all sizes and industries.

One of the processes that institutions need to manage effectively is business continuity. business continuity; It is defined as "the capacity of an organization to maintain its products and services at a predefined acceptable level after an outage". In other words, it is all the activities that will enable all businesses, large or small, to respond to disruptions that cause business disruption. If unexpected business interruptions are not for you, the best thing to do is to apply the ISO 22301 Social Security and Business Continuity Management System Standard. ISO 22301 Social Security and Business Continuity Management System Standard is a standard approved by approximately 160 countries and is an advanced application of the previously published BS 25999 Business Continuity Standard, issued as an ISO standard. The ISO 22301 Standard specifies the requirements for organizations to create the necessary plans to ensure business continuity, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, protect and prepare to mitigate risks, develop a documented management system to recover from catastrophic events.

In today's increasingly competitive conditions, organizations are constantly trying to increase their market shares, while aiming to reduce their costs. The supply chain can be defined as the set of resources and processes that are in relationship with each other, starting with the supply of raw materials and extending to the delivery of the product and service to the end user with different transportation methods. In recent years, businesses have seen that customer service levels can be improved, excess inventory in the system can be reduced, and unnecessary costs in the business network can be reduced as a result of providing a suitable structure to the supply chain, and they have given importance to the supply chain. For such organizations, the correct identification and effective management of risks related to the supply chain is of great importance in terms of business continuity. ISO 28000 is an international standard, defines the requirements of the Supply Chain Security Management System and provides a management model to organizations that want to implement this system. It aims to effectively manage risks by integrating the organization's activities related to supply chain security with other management systems. In addition, it provides great support in meeting the requirements for obtaining the AEO (EU Authorized Economic Operator) certificate, which is of vital importance for companies that import and export within the European Union. The ISO 28000 Supply Chain Security Management System Standard is modeled after management systems standards. Thus, many organizations that implement risk assessment-based management systems will be able to work with a similar approach and evaluate the risks related to the supply chain while implementing this new standard. What are the Benefits of ISO 28000 Supply Chain Security Management System? • It ensures that security risks are correctly determined in all sectors of the industry, necessary precautions are taken, and possible damage is minimized. • Provides convenience to customs authorities by demonstrating their ability to identify and control security risks. • As many requirements are in line with the standard in AEO applications, it increases the trust of the legal authorities in the organization. • Increases the trust of the organizations that provide products/services. • Increases the trust of insurance companies, reduces insurance costs. • Certification of the system contributes to the holistic image of the organization. • It provides an increase in customer satisfaction levels by meeting customer needs. Who Can Use/Apply the ISO 28000 Standard? The ISO 28000 Supply Chain Security Management System Standard is a standard applicable to all private and public organizations of all sizes and in all sectors.

The system can be standalone or integrated into an overall management system. ISO 37001:2016 addresses the following in connection with the organization's activities: • Corruption in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors; • Corruption by the organization; • Corruption by staff of the beneficiary organization or working on behalf of the organization; • Corruption by business partners of the organization acting on behalf of or for the benefit of the organization; • Organization bribery; • Corruption of the organization's personnel in relation to the organization's activities; • Corruption related to the activities of the organization in relation to the business partners of the organization; • Direct and indirect corruption (For example, corruption offered or accepted through or through a third party). ISO 37001:2016 only applies to corruption. Establishes and guides the requirements for a management system designed to help an organization prevent, detect and respond to corruption and comply with anti-corruption laws and voluntary commitments applicable to its operations. While ISO 37001:2016 does not specifically address fraud, cartel and other antitrust/competition crimes, money laundering or other corrupt-related activities, an organization may choose to expand the scope of its management system to include such activities. ISO 37001:2016 requirements are generic and can be applied to any organization (or parts of an organisation) regardless of the type, size and nature of the event and whether in the public, private or non-profit sectors.

ISO 13485:2003 Standard is a parallel standard with ISO 9001:2000-8 Standard and has been prepared on the basis of ISO 9001:2000-8 Standard. It is the version of ISO 9001:2000-8 Standard adapted to medical devices and developed in this field. It is an international standard that contains special requirements for medical devices. ISO 13485 is one of the most important arguments that medical device manufacturers can use when going for CE Marking. It is a system that companies must establish if the production quality assurance module is selected within the scope of CE Marking. It basically includes the ISO 9001:2000-8 Quality Management System, but it has become a standard for medical device manufacturers, especially with additional requests at the design stage and special requirements for sterile medical devices.
