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~2. + + 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. +\par + +\endinput +%% +%% End of file `tspasfwdbp.tex'. -- cgit v1.2.3
