The aim of this paper is to point out the possibility generic and specific application of international quality management standards developed in the technical committee of the international organization for standardization ISO / TC 176 in local government units. Generic standards are observed in the paper, the standards that can be applied in organizations regardless to their activity, size, type, and way of organization or some other specificity. Specific local government units and international standards specially developed for implementation in local government units will be analyzed in this paper. The development and application of international standards in local government units have numerous specificities. Laws that define the establishment, operation and organization of local government units vary from country to country. International standards relating to management and quality assurance developed within ISO / TC 176 are not sufficiently familiar to employees in local government units, and the market needs recognized by the secretariat of this technical committee in defining specific standards (ISO18091: 2015) and technical specifications (ISO TS 17582: 2014) indicate that standards in the field of quality management in local government will continue to develop.
