INTRODUCTION OF ISO

ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is the world’s largest developer and publisher of
International Standards. ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 163 countries, one member per
country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system. ISO is non-governmental
organisation that forms a bridge between the public and private sectors. On the one hand, many of its member
institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their government. On the
other hand, other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by national
partnerships of industry associations. Therefore, ISO enables a consensus to be reached on solutions that meet
both the requirements of business and the border needs of society.
MEANING OF ISO

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of

national standards bodies.
ISO is a nongovernmental organization that comprises standards bodies from more than 160
countries, with one standards body representing each member country. For example, the American
National Standards Institute represents the United States.
ISO members are national standards organizations that collaborate in the development and promotion
of international standards for technology, scientific testing processes, working conditions, societal
issues and more. ISO and its members then sell documents detailing these standards.
The ISO's General Assembly is its decision-making body. It consists of representatives from the
members and elected leaders called principal officers. The organization has its headquarters in
Geneva, Switzerland, where a central secretariat oversees operations.
