The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO non-governmental, in liaison with isO, also take part in the work. isO collaborates closely /withthe InternationalElectrotechnicalCommission(lEC)onallmattersofelectrotechnicalstandardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

The method is not applicable, or is applicable only with specific precautions, to fats and oils containing high levels (over 5 %) of conjugated unsaturation (e.g. tung oil), materials containing functional groups which modify the intensity of the C-H deformation about the trans double bond [e.g. castor oil containing ricinoleic acid or its geometrical isomer, ricinelaidic acid (12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid), mixed triglycerides having long- and short-chain moieties (such as diacetostearin), or in general, any materials containing constituents which have functional groups which give rise to specific absorption bands at or sufficiently close to interfere with the 966 cm-1 band
