In Afghanistan, the process for obtaining ISO certification involves businesses first identifying the specific ISO standards they need to adhere to, based on their operational and industry requirements, such as ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, among others. Companies then implement necessary changes to their processes and systems to comply with these standards. Accredited certification bodies conduct audits to assess the companies’ conformity to the chosen standards. If compliant, companies are awarded ISO certification, demonstrating their commitment to international standards of quality, safety, and efficiency. This certification requires periodic audits to ensure continuous compliance. Despite the challenges in Afghanistan, such as political instability and economic constraints, various organizations pursue ISO certification to enhance their operational credibility and access global markets.
