Lack of Integrity

Having read all the related news items over the last few days and having been bound by compliance with ISO and other Standards all my working life, I am truly shocked by what I am reading.

I had always understood that the development of standards was carried in an environment of ethics and professionalism, by people competent for the task and with the interests of the wider community in mind.

In my work as a Consultant I was bound to be impartial in my judgements and decisions, and could have been held to account for professional negligence if I was not so.

The integrity of the participants in ISO certification has now been called into question and, indeed, the ISO itself and its methods.
