5、 12 Participating countries, 11 Observing countries ASTM International: D22.11: 13 active standards Multi-national subcommittee members may vote, non-members may participate Some countries have national meteorology standards, including Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan and others,

6、7,History of WMO and ISO TC146 / SC5,WMO granted consultative status to ISO in 1954, helped to form ISO TC146 / SC5, and holds Liaison status with ISO Some CIMO experts also participate in SC5 through national standards bodies,8,New Working Agreement Between WMO and ISO,ISO Council Resolution 43/200
