6. History of ISO and Standardization

7. ISO History

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s
largest developer of voluntary International Standards.

8. ISO History

founded in 1947, with 67 official TCs
and since then have published more
than 19 500 International Standards
covering almost all aspects of
technology and business.

9. ISO History
Today ISO have members from 164 countries and about 150 people
work full time for ISO Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.

10. Fire Safety Standardization

11. Technical Committee (TC)



The technical work is carried out
through technical committees
(TC's) which are established by
the Technical Management
Board (TMB).
TC's establish their own
subcommittees (SC's) and
working groups (WG's) to
undertake the work.
Each and SC has a secretariat
assigned to a member body for
eg. BSI, DIN, AFNOR, ANSI,
JISC, UKAS, NQA etc
