Foreword
ISO (lhe lntemational Organization for Standardization) is a woidwide federalion of lldional standards bodies
(lSO member bodies). The wod( of prcparing lnlernational Standads is nonnalg-csrIied out through ISO
technrcal committees- EEch member bcd'J interested in a subject Ior which a lecJlnrcal committee has been
esiabiished has the ight to be represenled on that committee. lntemational enlal and
non{ovemmental, in liaison with lSO, also take pad in ihe work. lS with lhe
lntemalional Electrcfechnical Commission (lEC) on all matters of eleclrotech
,,. r
lntemalional Standards are drafted in accordance wilh the rules given ln lhF lSO,lEC Directives. Part 2.

The main lask of iechnical committees is to prepare lntemational Standaads. Draft International Siandads
adopied by ees are ciroulated for voting. Publication as an
lnternaliona rovalby st least 75 casting avote.

Altention is lhat some of the e t may be lhe subjecl of paienl

rights. ISO shsllnot be held responsiblefor identifying any or alls}ct.patenl rights.

ISO 124 was p.epar6d by Technical Committee ISO/TC4s, Rubier and tubbe! ptoducts, Subcommifiee

This frfth €dition cancels and replaces the fou(h ediiion (tqQi24l9g7), of which it constitutes a minor
rovision to incorporate the two am6ndments ISO 124:1997/Amd.1:2006 and ISO 124:1997/Amd 2:2008,
