Lebanon ISO Standards
Lebanon is a small, yet beautiful country with a rich culture and history. It has always been politically unstable and it has been this way for decades. In the 1990s, Lebanon suffered from the Lebanese Civil War, where multiple factions were fighting for control over the country. The war ended in 1990 and left Lebanon with hundreds of thousands of refugees and displaced people.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was established in 1947 to “provide the world with a common system of standards, thereby facilitating the international exchange of goods and services.” The goal of ISO in Lebanon is to develop and promote national standards to ensure the sustainable competitiveness of Lebanese products. In order to do this, they have developed a National Standards Strategy 2020, which has been developed with a number of stakeholders. It outlines a set of goals that will be achieved by 2020.
