All about the ISO Certification in Nigeria 

Posted By Finecert Solutions     June 1, 2021    

Body

 


ISO certification in Nigeria is a seal of approval from a third party Certification Body that an organization complies with one of the international standards developed and distributed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

 

The ISO was founded on 23 February 1947 and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland with about 165 countries already as its members. It is a global standard-setting body made up of representatives from various national standards establishments.


 

 



Why do you need ISO in Nigeria?

The population in Nigeria is equivalent to 2.64% of the total world population with the present population of Nigeria being 210,400,771, based on the latest United Nations data. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that Nigeria ranks number 7 in the list of countries by population.

As of 2020, 107,112,526 people, that is, 52.0 % of the population of Nigeria are urban. The economy of Nigeria is a mix of middle-income and diverse economies. Nigeria is an emerging market, with growth in the industrial, financial, technology, service, communications, and entertainment sectors.

Nigeria has the biggest economy in Africa and therefore it is considered the richest country on the continent. All this robust population and economy leads to an increase in the number of businesses which in turn leads to an ample amount of competition in the business world. ISO in Nigeria can help organizations stand out in the global market and improve their business opportunities and overall performance.

 

The different types and benefits of ISO Certification in Nigeria

ISO has published over twenty-one thousand International Standards but I will mention below some of the most used and generic standards that will be useful for organizations in Nigeria.

 

ISO 9001

Nigeria has a growing economy with the largest industries in the country being the petroleum industry, tourism, agriculture, and mining. With external trade business also prospering, it becomes a vital responsibility for any organization to ensure that their products and services are of the best quality. ISO 9001 in Nigeria is an international standard for a Quality Management System (QMS), which will help you guarantee the quality of your products and increase business by assuring your clients and business partners of your product performance.

 

ISO 27001

In services output, Nigeria ranks first in Africa and 27th worldwide. With the significant growth in businesses and banking sectors, there is a need to ensure the safety of an organization’s data. ISO 27001 in Nigeria is an international standard for an Information Safety Management System (ISMS) which will help you safeguard your physical and electronic data.

 

 

ISO 45001

Nigeria is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) with the number of established oil reserves estimated to be 35 billion barrels.

Industries in Nigeria are involved in products such as crude oil, coal, tin, rubber, wood, hides, and skins, textiles, cement, footwear, chemicals, fertilizer, printing, ceramics, steel, rubber, ship construction, etc. All these industries involve a lot of labor forces. ISO 45001 in Nigeria can help these industries as it involves Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) that ensures safety at the workplace.

 

ISO 14001

Nigeria currently has a range of environmental problems, including erosion, oil spills, flooding, dunes in the north, wildlife poaching, deforestation, unbearable heat, and a scarcity of drinking water. Therefore, it is an important duty of any organization in the country to make sure that their organization is not causing any more harm to the environment. ISO 14001 in Nigeria deals with an Environment Management System which will ensure this.

 

ISO 22000

Nigeria ranks first in Africa and sixth in the World in farm output. It is a major producer of numerous agricultural products such as cocoa, groundnuts, palm oil, maize, rice, sorghum, millet, tapioca, yams, etc. and it is also a chief producer of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and fish.  And the boom in tourism means more restaurants and hotels. 

Therefore, all the organizations in the food chain can be benefited from the compliance of ISO 22000 in Nigeria as it deals with the Food Safety Management System that will ensure the safety of all the food products and services.
