ISO (the International
Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form a specialized system for worldwide standardization. National
bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of
International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest.
Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. See
http://www.iso.ch
for information on ISO and
http://www.iec.ch
for information on IEC.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the national bodies casting a vote. See
