ISOfocus, September/October 2013

This month on ISOfocus

Positive change

Our ISOfocus magazine, the publication providing all of the latest news and features from the world of International Standards, is now sporting a brand new design.

The theme of this "launch" issue is therefore extremely fitting: positive change. It reflects our move to become a bigger, bolder magazine. And what better time to do this than in the 100th issue of ISOfocus!

The magazine is still available through subscription, and in digital format free of charge, so you can enjoy it on your computer, laptop, tablet, and on your mobile device.

Current issue
