Price based on 3 pages Copyright 1 nternational Organization for Standardization Not for Resale Foreword ISo (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of nationalstandardsbodies(isOmemberbodies).TheworkofpreparingInternational Standards is normally carried out through isO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has mental and non-governmental, in liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISo Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. InternationalStandardISO2248waspreparedbyTechnicalCommitteeISO/TC122 Packaging. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 2248-1972), which has been technically revised as follows: a new clause on"Package preparation" has been added. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated.
