Management System Accreditation scheme for Certification Bodies cover Systems Certification and Product certification. Accreditation of Certification Bodies (system certification) is based on ISO/IEC 17021 - Conformity Assessment - requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of Management Systems. Accreditation of Product Certification Bodies is based on ISO/IEC Guide 65 – General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems. Management Systems Certification provided by these CB's include certification of Quality Management Systems (QMS), Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Medical Devices-Management System (ISO13485), Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSAS), Information Technology- Service Management System (SMS), Information Security Management System (ISMS), Energy Management Systems (ENMS) & etc.
Accreditation of Certification Bodies assures the reliability and acceptance of certifications issued by these bodies in International Trade and in Domestic markets.
Accreditation scheme for Inspection Bodies is based on ISO/IEC 17020 – General Criteria for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection. This scheme provides a formal recognition to an inspection body for its services for integrity and reliability.
Organizations required to conduct various types of inspections for regulatory purposes are accredited under this scheme. Regulatory bodies could make effective use of this mechanism to implement regulations.

ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.
ISO 50001:2011 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to:
Like other ISO management system standards, certification to ISO 50001 is possible but not obligatory. Some organizations decide to implement the standard solely for the benefits it provides. Others decide to get certified to it, to show external parties they have implemented an energy management system. ISO does not perform certification.

ISO/IEC 23271:2012 defines the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) in which applications written in multiple high-level languages can be executed in different system environments without the need to rewrite those applications to take into consideration the unique characteristics of those environments. It consists of six partitions.
ISO/IEC 15948:2004-Information technology Computer graphics and Processing-Portable Networking Graphics (PNG) specifies a data stream and an associated file format, Portable Network Graphics (PNG, pronounced "ping"), for a lossless, portable, compressed individual computer graphics image transmitted across the Internet. Indexed-colour, grayscale, and true colour images are supported, with optional transparency. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits. PNG is fully stream able with a progressive display option. It is robust, providing both full file integrity checking and simple detection of common transmission errors. PNG can store gamma and chromaticity data as well as a full ICC colour profile for accurate colour matching on heterogenous platforms. ISO/IEC 15948:2004 defines the Internet Media type "image/png". The data stream and associated file format have value outside of the main design goal.
