ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the
International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system
for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO
or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical
committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
-
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a
joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards
adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national
bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires
approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.

Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information Technology.
