The code you provided are for standards maintained by the
International Organization for Standards.  "The ISO 9000 family is
purely concerned with 'quality management.'"  "The ISO 14,000 family
is really concerned with 'environmental management.'"

"ISO 9000 and ISO 14000-in brief" International Organization for
Standards http://www.iso.org/iso/en/iso9000-14000/index.html

ISO 18000 is a standard for the use of Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) for item management.  "ISO 18000" International Organization
for Standards http://www.iso.org/iso/en/StandardsQueryFormHandler.StandardsQueryFormHandler?scope=CATALOGUE&keyword=&isoNumber=18000&sortOrder=ISO&title=true&search_type=ISO&search_term=18000&languageCode=en.
 This is a relatively new technology consisting of tags that are
attached to products that can then be interrogated by scanners to
access data about that particular package/cartons/pallet/container
depending on what the tag is associated with.

In order to receive a certification, an organization must submit to an
audit by an accredited, independent, external body that determines
that the organization is in compliance with the standard.

Demystifying Tour of ISO 9000 and ISO 14000" International

Neither the International Organization for Standards web page, nor
Google, are able to locate anything relating to HISO 18000.

To my limited knowledge, ISO(9000,etc) are standards by which
a company achieves higher standards of exellence in quality of
their work and products. The standards precisly define all
aspects of work process, which you have to comply.
