12、rnational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has

13、 been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical s

14、tandardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in acco

15、rdance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Detail

18、.The committee responsible for this document is Technical Committee ISO/TC 228, Tourism and related services.iv ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 17679:2016ISO 17679:2016(E)IntroductionISO 18513 defines spas as “acknowledged health resorts, with specific natural factors natural remedies of the soil

19、 (for example, mineral spring), the sea or the climate sometimes complemented by appropriate health treatments”, and notes that spas are specifically recognized and regulated in some countries. Consequently, this document establishes quality requirements for wellness spa services, while respecting t

20、he principle of cultural identity and cultural differences.Instead of placing emphasis on the desired effects of naturally occurring local remedies, a “wellness spa” aims to promote and balance all health components in each individual, including physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual heal

21、th. The wellness spa clients expect to gain “pleasure at leisure”, supporting health benefits through relaxation, peaceful reflection, revitalization of the body, mind and spirit and finally being ready to fully return to their daily lives again.As the appreciation of health, successful ageing and l

22、ongevity grows, the wellness spa gains more and more popularity. The diversity of wellness spas has become increasingly pronounced. There is the need for identification of good quality services, creating transparency in the exchange of services, raising clients confidence, business competence and pr

23、omoting knowledge transfer about quality of services.At the present time, the wellness spa represents an international trade in services. The international market requires a foundation of strategies which generate quality improvements and competitive pricing.The lack of identification of the essence

24、 of wellness spa services, together with the absence of reference standards, will affect the service chain throughout the industry from top management and their establishments to trade industries, government regulation bodies and most importantly, it will affect clients. This document aims to define

25、, establish and develop the quality requirements of the wellness spa services, in order for them to be monitored, as well as to provide guidelines for the selection of the relevant measurement methods, to ensure their effectiveness and adaptation.Since 1947, the constitution of the World Health Orga

26、nization has stated that “health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. The definition is composed of two main ideas, including well-being and disease/infirmity.However, the perception of health in general has the idea of di

27、sease/infirmity at its core. Presently, caring for health is disease-oriented; all are familiar with disease prevention, disease control or treatment of disease. This approach to health which places emphasis on the absence of sickness is not familiar in character and scarcely suitable for a dynamic

28、programme to improve the level of wellness. The idea that there are different levels of health has gained more and more support. Persons who may not be affected by a specific disease or disability are not considered to be equally healthy.Although the gradations of health are not measurable, the conc

29、ept has definite and understandable meaning. A healthy individual can be described as a well-integrated individual, both as to physical structure and as to physiological and psychological functioning. The completely healthy person meets trouble with equanimity. They have time and inclination for soc

30、iability and recreation. The goal of health from this positive perspective calls for not only the cure or alleviation of disease. It calls for even more than the prevention of disease. Rather, it looks beyond, to strive for maximum physical, mental and social efficiency for the individual, for the f

31、amily and for the community.Concomitant progress in science and medicine has led to better preservation of the body and increasing absence of disease, yet, mental, emotional, social and spiritual problems are often left untreated. High-level wellness can never be achieved in fragments, ignoring the

32、unity of the whole. This special state of health comprises an overall sense of well-being and sees man as consisting of body, spirit and mind and being dependent on his environment.This dynamic state is an ongoing process, not a static state which we reach and never have to consider again.There are

33、degrees of wellness as there are degrees of sickness, and wellness services should be oriented towards identifying causes of wellness rather than causes of sickness. Seekers after their own wellness ISO 2016 All rights reserved vBS ISO 17679:2016ISO 17679:2016(E)can claim services which are very sim

34、ilar to medical services used by patients in a conventional hospital, but with the motive of exploitation of their potential for a better quality of life. Although it is possible that hospitals can house both patients and wellness clients, offering them similar services, or at least a similar infras

35、tructure, plus their know-how, they are not wellness seekers preference. Seekers frequently look for locations and activities that are transcendent. It is no coincidence that many wellness spas are located beside the ocean or on a mountain top. Again, though the strength of the wellness spas mainly

36、has to do with their atmosphere and surroundings or location, these are not all about the wellness spas. In order to qualify as a wellness spa, some deliberate contribution has to be made to psychological, spiritual or emotional well-being in addition to physical. With this end in view, the wellness

37、 spa is often an alternative space in which one can engage in self-analysis without the stresses and distractions of home.The addition of a variety of wellness programs or treatments can help to further encourage the individual on a journey of self-discovery to the destination of rejuvenation, livin
