How ISO Standards Are Developed

A technical committee meet to discuss, debate and argue until they reach consensus on a draft agreement.

circulated as a Draft International Standard (DIS) to ISO's membership as a whole for comment and balloting.

ISO members then take account of any feedback they receive in formulating their position on the draft standard.

If the voting is in favor, the document, with eventual modifications, is circulated to the ISO members as a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS

If that vote is positive, the document is then published as an International Standard.

Every working day of the year, an average of eight ISO meetings are taking place somewhere in the world.

ISO technical bodies have already gone over entirely ◦ working electronically◦ speeds up the development of standards◦ cuts travel costs.
