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, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with iso, also take part in the work. Iso collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

From the results of these sintering tests, the sintering behaviour of an iron ore, or iron ore mix, is determined in terms of production rate,fuel consumption rate and sinter quality. The purpose of this Internationial Standard is to establish the terminology and method for presentation of these results, for use when sintering test data is required to be ex- particular iron ore fines has been assessed for commercial reasons, or where research or production results are to be published. ！!
