Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. IsO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization, International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 3 bythetechnical committeesarecirculatedtothememberbodiesforvoting.Publicationas anInternationa Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
