Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. 150 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. ‘The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1.
