He also presented the historical development of ISO, tracing its establishment in 1947, the introduction of its first management standard in 1987, and its subsequent evolution up to 2026. In addition, he highlighted the importance of international standards in the post-World War era and explained the roles and interrelationships of certification bodies and accreditation bodies across different countries.
Furthermore, Mr. Subedi elaborated on ISO 21001:2018 as an international framework aimed at enhancing educational services and improving learning outcomes. He also discussed the benefits of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 21001:2018, along with key concepts such as QMS/EOMS principles, the SIPOC model, the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, the scope of ISO 21001:2018, and integrated certification systems aligned with various ISO standards.
Special emphasis was placed on international accreditation forums and certification bodies, including JAS-ANZ, NABCB, CAB, and ICS. He also shared sample Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) related to the examination cell and Co-curricular Activities (CCA) management.
The session aimed to strengthen social responsibility, promote evidence-based decision-making, and encourage ethical practices within the institution.
