| rdfs:comment | - The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) started out as a youth movement in 1947, when a foreign student in the United States misinterpreted the imperial gallon for an imperial galley, and thus scored rather badly on math exam with his argumentation on the consequences of imperialism, which was later published in the New York Times. He started the Anti American Measurement System Movement (Anti AMS Movement), and gathered solid support, especially from other math dropout students, who felt a grudge against the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards. ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 157 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system. Therefore, ISO enables a consensus to be reached on solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society"
- Established in 1947, the International Organization for Standardization (also referred to as the International Standardization Organization or ISO) is a non-governmental, worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 148 countries with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, supporting the process. It promotes the development of standardization and related activities worldwide to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the areas of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO works for international agreements which are then published as international standards.

| abstract | - Established in 1947, the International Organization for Standardization (also referred to as the International Standardization Organization or ISO) is a non-governmental, worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 148 countries with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, supporting the process. It promotes the development of standardization and related activities worldwide to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the areas of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO works for international agreements which are then published as international standards. The scope of ISO covers standardization in all fields except electrical and electronic engineering standards, which are the responsibility of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The ISO acts as a bridging organization in which a consensus can be reached on solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society, such as the needs of stakeholder groups like consumers and users.

ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 157 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system. ISO is a non-governmental organization that forms a bridge between the public and private sectors. On the one hand, many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their government. On the other hand, other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by national partnerships of industry associations. Therefore, ISO enables a consensus to be reached on solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society"
