ISO is the worlds largest standards developing organization. Between 1947

and the present day, ISO has published more than 16 500 International
Standards, ranging from standards for activities such as agriculture and
construction, through mechanical engineering, to medical devices, to the
newest information technology developments.
ISO launches the development of new standards in response to sectors and
stakeholders that express a clearly established need for them.

To be accepted for development, a proposed work item must receive the

majority support of the participating members of the ISO technical committee
which, amongst other criteria, verifies the "global relevance" of the proposed
item this means that it indeed responds to an international need and will
eventually be suitable for implementation on as broad a basis as possible
worldwide.
For a document to be accepted as an ISO International Standard, it must be
approved by at least two-thirds of the ISO national members that participated
in its development and not be disapproved by more than a quarter of all ISO
members who vote on it.
