The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IsO, also take part in the work.IsO coliaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (iEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. circulated to the member bodies for voting.
