Which statement about ISO’s role is true?

• A. CE mark is commonly associated with ISO standardization
• B. BSI Kitemark indicates ISO standardization
• C. The CE mark is often used to indicate ISO-standardized products
• D. EC label indicates ISO standard compliance

Answer: (C)

ISO develops international standards that set common requirements and test methods across industries. Because EU safety and performance rules guide how products must be marketed in Europe, the CE mark—the European conformity mark—often appears on products that have been designed to meet those international specifications, including many ISO standards. In other words, ISO standards provide the technical basis that helps products satisfy EU directives, so the CE mark is commonly seen on ISO-informed products. The other marks belong to different systems: the BSI Kitemark is a UK quality and safety mark not tied to ISO, and the EC label isn’t a standard term used for marking ISO compliance.
