The newly published January launch issue of ISO Focus+ magazine provides insights into the "people" aspects of what it takes to develop ISO International Standards, an interview with the CEO of an internationally known brand that makes extensive use of ISO standards, and articles on ISO standards in action, such as combatting the trafficking of radioactive material.
ISO Focus+ will be published 10 times a year in English and French editions. In addition, bonus articles are being posted on ISO's Web site. It replaces two magazines: ISO Focus, which provided an overview of ISO's standards and related activities, and ISO Management Systems, which covered ISO's management standards and their implementation around the world.
From now on, coverage of ISO’s management system standards – such as the well known ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 – will be one of the new features included in ISO Focus+. In addition, the magazine will act as a "one-stop shop", providing coverage of the complete range of ISO International Standards: technical, management, good practice and conformity assessment, and for products, services, processes, systems, materials and professionals. It will also emphasize ISO standards “at work” and the benefits they bring to users and stakeholders.
ISO Secretary-General Rob Steele comments, "Showing the benefits of using ISO standards through real-life experience of their use demonstrates that they are not academic, amorphous or theoretical. ISO standards are developed by experts in their subject who actually practice what they write in the standard. The ISO standard is therefore a treasure trove of best practice that can be applied."
