ÍST 85 was explicitly designed to ISO specifications and has been cited or adapted by Canada, other Nordic countries and the EU Commission as an international model.
Impact on gender equality1/1
Iceland's pay gap (9.3–10.4%) is below the EU average (~12.7%) and the country has led the WEF Global Gender Gap Index for 15 consecutive years; the certification directly targets the pay component.
