Now there is a very common misconception amongst the general public that ISI Certification and ISO Certification are one and the same thing. However, this is not at all true, even though both certifications work on laying out different standards and aim for one thing that is high-quality products and services to be given out they are still very much different.

Whereas  ISO Certification is provided to a company and the way it works, the internal working system (in accordance with the International Standards laid out by the ISO), ISI Certification is given out to products also, more commonly known as ISI mark.
