OVERVIEW OF ISO |
|
ISO is the International
Organization for Standardization. It was ISO standards are developed by technical committees. The people who serve on these technical committees come from many national standards organizations. Consequently, ISO standards have worldwide support. The International Organization for Standardization chose the acronym ISO (and not IOS) because the word ISO also means “equal” or “equivalent” in Greek, and because ISO works better when translated into other languages. Currently, ISO has 193 technical committees, 540
subcommittees, and 2244 working groups. Since 1947, ISO has developed
16,455 international standards! Quite an achievement. |
