One of the strengths of ISO standards is that they are created by the people that need them. Industry experts drive all aspects of the standard development process, from deciding whether a new standard is needed to defining all the technical content.
Getting involved in this process can bring significant advantages to your business. For example by:
- Giving early access to information that could shape the market in the future
- Giving your company a voice in the development of standards
- Helping to keep market access open.
Getting involved in standards development brings your concerns and needs to bear on a process that will affect you in the future.
How to get involved?
Standards are developed by groups of experts called technical committees. These experts are put forward by ISO’s national members. If you are interested in getting involved, contact your national standards body. Your national standards body is the ISO member, and represents ISO in your country. Contact details can be found in the
list of national members
