The Work of praparing Iniemational Stancaras 1s nermally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical commitiee has been festapiizned has the right to Da representac on tnat committee. intsmatonal erganzations, governmental and Non-governmental, in liaison wiih ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the Inwerrational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Inwemational Stangaras are arafted in accoraance withthe rules given in tne ISOVIEC Drectives, Part 2. ‘The main task of technical commitess Is to prepare International Standards, Draft International Stancaras ‘adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bocles for voting.
