International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in

12、the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular t

13、he different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted.
