ABOUT THE ISO/IEC INFORMATION CENTRE

The ISO/IEC Information Centre is jointly operated by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, and IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission. Its objective is to provide stakeholders with information about standardization, standards and related matters.

The Web site also provides information on the relationship between WTO, ISO and IEC with regard to world trade and on standardizing bodies which have accepted the WTO TBT Code of Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of standards. In addition, the site contains and provides access to reference publications on standards development, distribution and use and on information sources.
