ISO DETAILS
ISO is an acronym, which stands for International Organization for
Standardisation established in 1946. Its’ headquarter is in Geneva,
Switzerland with over 100 member countries.
According to ISO officials, the organization’s short name was borrowed from
the Greek word ISOS meaning EQUAL. ISOS is also the root of the prefix
ISO. In an attempt to make sense of the ISO name, many have misconstrued
the organization’s full name to be the International Standards Organization.
