The work of preparing international Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees, Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committes has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and ‘non-governmental, in liaison with 180, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardi International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISONEC Directives, Part 2, ‘The main task of technical committees is to prepare Intemational Standards.
