We don't have a flag in the sense that we don't fly one over our building.
Our flag is a rather more modest affair table top one that we may "fly" at
conferences. It consists of the blue version of the ISO logo, without
background. I include an example of this logo. Our logo is just the word ISO
superimposed on the globe.

I just came across a flag, supposed to be a variant of the ISO. The flag,
seen
here.

mentions "(the) City's Wastewater Division Becomes State Forerunner with
Environmental Management Certification - ISO 14001:2004 Certified", talking
about the government's Division of Tallahassee.
The flag most likely reads "ISO 14001" on top, and "REGISTERED" on the bottom,
on blue capital letters on a white horizontal background, as seen in this other
picture:
However on the first mentioned
picture, one can see a logo on the bottom right, which I cannot identify.

Rather than representing the ISO, this flag communicate the presence of an
environmental management system conforming with ISO 14001, in particular one
that has been registered with NSF International Strategic Registrations. A photo
of the same design at another Tallahassee Water Utility wastewater facility (perhaps
relating to an earlier registration) can be found in
this document. (Tallahassee's Water Utility Wastewater Division 'Goes Green'
with ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Certification/, pp22-24, Florida
Water Resources Journal, May 2008), revealing that the logo in the bottom hoist
is that of NSF - a blue cirle with the white letters 'NSF'.
The flags were presented to the Water Utility along with the certification
plaque, and are presumably generally provided by NSF when they registered a
compliant system.
NSF is a
non-government organisation, and while we see the flag hoisted by a (local)
government utility, I'm sure the flag could equally be given to non-government
entities.
(Of course, the ISO is itself not exactly a government organisation.)

If it's similar to the ones at
this page, then it might be a globe.

On this
picture one can see an array of flags behind de fire truck. From left to
right, there's a white horizontal flag with an inscription that reads "ISO 9001"
and below "CERTIFIED". I don't know if ISO issues a specific flag for the ISO
9001 certification and what would the rules for such flags would be.

This page depicts an “ISO Flag” – in this case, a flag with the ISO logo on
it. I wanted to point out that this flag would not be available for anyone to
purchase and may only exist at the ISO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
Generally, if someone searches for an “ISO Flag” they are looking for a flag
with which to publicize the fact that they are certified to any of various ISO
standards.
What is slightly problematic about the image on this page is that the ISO
expressly forbids the use of their logo by other entities. So the graphic on the
page is an image of a unicorn, in a sense.
I would like to point out that the flags offered by USFlagDepot.com are not the
most current, nor the most popular designs for ISO flags. In fact, or site,
StandardFlags.com is considered the authority on ISO flags in that we have the
widest selection of ISO flags, many for certifications that cannot be found any
place else, and further, we are the copyright holders of the designs seen and
sold on our site.
For reference: https://standardflags.com/
We’ve spent a great deal of time creating these designs such that they are
unique to the eye and are representative of the standard which they represent.
We wondered how we might get a link on your page?
Also, if you would like more extensive coverage on this topic, I would be glad
to write content for you which explains the designs and symbolism for each type
of flag. There are about 11 certifications for which we currently have flag
designs.
Our designs are licensed to JC Schultz who is our exclusive producer.
Chris Mitchell, Owner, StandardFlags.com, 27 January 2015
As I read it, he's advertising their version of the banners, and the only
vexillological information, which he did not even write out, is that those flags
are not an ISO matter, but could be any design, produced by anyone. Apparently
nothing stops me from walking around with a flag with the text "This Flag is ISO
certified."
As we're non-commercial, I guess you could thank him for that bit of information
and leave it at that.
