ISO Story
The ISO Story began in 1946 when delegates from 25 counties met at the institute of civil engineers in London and decided to create a new international organisation 'to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards' on 23 February 1947 the new organisation, ISO, officially began operations.
Since then, ISO has published over 21616 International Standards covering almost all aspects of technology and manufacturing.
Today ISO has member from 170 (Approx) countries and 779 technical bodies to take care of standard development. More than 135 people work full time for ISO's Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.
Why It's Name is ISO?
Because 'International Organisation for Standardisation" would has different acronyms in different language (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation International normalisation), It's Founder decided to give short form ISO. ISO is derived from Greek word ISOS, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, It is called always ISO.
