The purpose of the obtaining the ISO Standard is to let viewers of a website know that the owners of a site agree to allowing an independent audit of their website content. It is a step toward ensuring that the information we obtain off the web is reliable
The ISO standard is considered a world wide. It was initially started with business to say that the end quality of the product was consistent with a predetermined standard for their particular industry. Each company has an independent audit performed on the company processes. By applying this to websites, once they achieve this certification, its a guarantee by the certifying organization that the website meets a minimum standard.
This could be like putting the "Better Business Bureau" logo on your door or a "CSA" label on your product. Membership is voluntary, but the website is still subject to peer review.
