ISO for Associations

This association is most probably the first of its kind (Chinese Clan Association) to have awarded the ISO Standard.

However is it necessary? ISO Standard is about setting standard procedure or best practises for procedures in the organization. A well established organization most probably have their own Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

In my opinion, there are a lot of the NGO or Associations out there trying to implement ISO, and I think it is not necessary unless there is totally no system in place.
