# International Organization for Standardization or ISO
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [International Organization for Standardization](http://www.iso.org/), or ISO ([the claim is made](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/aboutiso/introduction/index.html#three), on [the introductory page about ISO](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/aboutiso/introduction/index.html), that "ISO" is not an acronym, but comes from the Greek word *isos*, meaning "equal"), is "a network of the national standards institutes of 146 countries, on the basis of one member per country".
|
|
|
|
|
|
They are responsible for developing and publishing standards for international use, on various topics:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Small craft -- Toilet waste retention systems" ([ISO 8099:2000](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=33458&ICS1=47&ICS2=80&ICS3=))
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Tea -- Preparation of liquor for use in sensory tests" ([ISO 3103:1980](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=8250&ICS1=67&ICS2=140&ICS3=10))
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Electric road vehicles -- Reference energy consumption and range -- Test procedures for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles ([ISO 8714:2002](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=34087&ICS1=43&ICS2=120&ICS3=))
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Paints and varnishes -- Determination of specular gloss of non-metallic paint films at 20 degrees, 60 degrees and 85 degrees" ([ISO 2813:1994](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=7810&ICS1=87&ICS2=40&ICS3=))
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Quality management -- Customer satisfaction -- Guidelines for complaints handling in organizations" ([ISO 10002:2004](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=35539&ICS1=3&ICS2=120&ICS3=10))
|
|
|
|
|
|
This includes network related standards, like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Information technology -- Open Systems Interconnection -- Protocol for providing the connection-mode transport service" ([ISO/IEC 8073:1997](http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=24077&ICS1=35&ICS2=100&ICS3=40)), which is the specification for the Open Systems Interconnection, or "OSI", connection-oriented transport protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The term "ISO", when used in a networking context, often refers to the OSI protocol suite - see [IsoProtocolFamily](/IsoProtocolFamily).

The full set of ISO standards is documented at the [ISO Standards Glossary](http://www.standardsglossary.com/).
