This approval brings up our speculation and updates-and-back trip that were generated on the ISO Social Responsibility (ISO 26000) and is still generating.

1. Does ISO 26000 will or certifiable? Although the Internet today there are more than 127,000 entries for ISO 26000 certification ... The answer is NO, the Noma ISO 26000 explicitly states "This international standard is not a management system standard. It is not appropriate, nor is it intended to serve for certification purposes, or regulatory or contractual use. Any request for certification, or petition for a certification from the perspective of ISO 26000, would be considered a misrepresentation of the purpose and intent of this international standard "

2. Another ISO 26000 Management System?

The answer is NO, the ISO 26000 is not intended as more management system as mentioned in the previous answer, the ISO 26000 "provides guidance on how to implement social responsibility in an organization. Includes guidance relating to: understanding the social responsibility of an organization, integrating social responsibility throughout the organization "

3. The ISO 26000 is not a standard ...

The answer is yes, ISO 26000 is a standard that provides guidance and is therefore called Guide. In fact, the document was recently approved as an International Standard called Responsibility Guide Social. Unlike the ISO technical documentation on International Standards (IS), Technical Specifications (TS), Publicly Available Specifications (PAS), Technical Reports (TR), Guidelines (Policy Committees only) and International Agreements obtained Workshops (IWA .)

4. The industry group opposes the development of ISO 26000 ...

The answer is NO, some representatives of industry groups and in particular SMEs believe that the document is still not ripe to be approved as FDIS because "in your state Current does not take into account the needs and concerns of SMEs as a stakeholder in the process "but do not preclude that this standard is developed.

5. "In fact, although there was consensus that in some countries some stakeholders or interest groups voted No?

The answer is yes, in most other countries there was consensus and that is evidenced by the 93% approval rating according to the ISO definition of "Consensus is characterized by general agreement, absence of sustained opposition to aspects substantial part of a large group of concerned interests, a process that involves and takes into account the views of all stakeholders and reconcile any conflicting arguments. Consensus need not imply unanimity. " In those countries where no consensus was negative vote or abstention to such negative feedback: Cuba, United States, India, Luxembourg and Turkey. (If U.S. industry is opposed, abstained and government work does not vote). Abstention in Algeria, Germany, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Hungary, Iceland, New Zealand, the Republic of Iran, The Republic of Macedonia (former Yugoslavia) and Vietnam.

The FDIS is approved if: 2 / 3 vote of the members of the WG SR P are in favor, and not more than 1 / 4 of the total votes are negative (all members of the ISO). Abstentions are excluded when the votes are counted as negative votes not showing reasons techniques.

6. Are some National Institutes of Standards are violating their agreements with ISO to develop National Standards?

The answer is NO, the standard explicitly states "This international standard is not intended to prevent the development of national standards to be more specific, more demanding or otherwise." Moreover not only some countries are developing a national standard based on ISO 26000 standard but that the matter be certifiable.

7. What is the next step?
