Transportation and logistics organizations implement ISO standards to ensure service quality, safety, and environmental responsibility. ISO 9001 provides the quality foundation, while ISO 14001 addresses environmental impacts.

ISO 22163 is specific to railway applications, and various sector-specific standards address aviation, maritime, and road transport.
