The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees
13、. 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 collaborates closely with the Intern
14、ational 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. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least75% of the member bodi
15、es casting a vote. International Standard ISO15570 was prepared by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Subcommittee E10.01 (as E1650-94) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC85, Nuclear energy, in parallel with its approval by the IS
16、O member bodies. A new ISO/TC85 Working Group WG3, High level dosimetry for radiation processing, was formed to review the voting comments from the ISO “Fast-track procedure” and to maintain these standards. The USA holds the convenership of this working group. International Standard ISO15570 is one
17、 of20standards developed and published by ASTM.
