+
+ ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
+federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
+of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
+ISO technical committees. 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. ISO collaborates closely with the International
+Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical
+standardization.
+
+ International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules
+given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
+
+ The main task of technical committees is to prepare International
+Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical
+committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication
+as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75\% of the
+member bodies casting a vote.
+
+ In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market
+requirement for such documents, a technical committee may decide to
+publish other types of normative document:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an
+agreement between technical experts in an ISO working group and is
+accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50\% of the
+members of the parent committee casting a vote;
+
+\item an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement
+between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for
+publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee
+casting a vote.
+\end{itemize}
+
+ An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed every three years with a view to
+deciding whether it can be transformed into an International Standard.
