Aloe Vera growers, processors, finished goods manufacturers, marketing companies, insurance companies, equipment suppliers, printers, sales organizations, physicians, scientists and researchers are all eligible for and comprise the membership.

The common bond between this diverse group of individuals and companies is an interest in promoting Aloe Vera and its use in skin care products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and a wide variety of other products.

Members have access to a wide variety of information, support, advice and certification programs. Here is a sampling of:

• IASC reviews federal and trade publications and report to members periodically on all Aloe industry news affecting Aloe business.
• IASC studies and analyzes Federal, State and Local regulations and proposed regulations for possible impact on Aloe Vera manufacturers and distributors. IASC staff interacts with and provides comments to regulatory bodies such as the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to protect and promote the industry.
• IASC's Certification program for raw materials and finished goods assures people that companies granted the seal of approvement are using the purest, most beneficial Aloe Vera possible. This program protects customers and the industry from companies using adulterated Aloe Vera and from making false product claims.
• IASC provides members with references, pamphlets and manuals on regulations, technical advice, insurance inspections recalls, good manufacturing practices, international regulations, environmental impact and other significant areas.
• IASC offers packaging counsel and formulation advice from experts both within and outside the membership.

ISO 14001:2004 - Environmental Management Systems

ISO 14001:2004 specifies requirements for an environmental management system to enable an organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about significant environmental aspects. It applies to those environmental aspects that the organization identifies as those which it can control and those which it can influence. It does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.

ISO 14001:2004 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system, to assure itself of conformity with its stated environmental policy, and to demonstrate conformity with ISO 14001:2004 by:

• a) making a self-determination and self-declaration, or
• b) seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as customers, or
• c) seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
• d) seeking certification/registration of its environmental management system by an external organization.

All the requirements in ISO 14001:2004 are intended to be incorporated into any environmental management system. The extent of the application will depend on factors such as the environmental policy of the organization, the nature of its activities, products and services and the location where and the conditions in which it functions. ISO 14001:2004 also provides, in Annex A, informative guidance on its use.

Forever Living Products is certified with ISO 14001: 2004.

ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System

ISO 9001:2000 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization:

• needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements, and
• aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable regulatory requirements.

All requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and product provided.

Where any requirement(s) of this International Standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an organization and its product, this can be considered for exclusion.

Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this International Standard are not acceptable unless these exclusions are limited to requirements within clause 7, and such exclusions do not affect the organization's ability, or responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements.

Forever Living Products is certified with ISO 9001:2000.
