Consider the following statements: 1. The Headquarters of the International Organisation for Standardization are located in Rome. 2. ISO 9000 is related to the quality management system and standards. 3. ISO 14000 relates to environmental management system standards. Which of the statements is/are correct?

Statement 1 is incorrect: ISO’s Central Secretariat (headquarters) is located in Geneva, Switzerland, not Rome [1]. Statement 2 is correct: the ISO 9000 family comprises standards for quality management systems (with ISO 9001 as the core requirements standard) and provides guidance for implementing and auditing QMS processes [2]. Statement 3 is also correct: the ISO 14000 family deals with environmental management system standards (notably ISO 14001) to help organizations minimize environmental impact and comply with environmental requirements [2]. Therefore only statements 2 and 3 are correct, so the right option is ‘2 and 3’ (Option 3).
