Price based on 4 pages Not for Resale Foreword Iso (the International 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 the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with iso, also take part in the work.
