International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an organization dedicated to the worldwide development of standards including commercial and industrial. ISO was established in 1947 and it is a non-governmental organization. ISO develop and promote the international standards. It sets standards for industries to develop and improve quality of them.
ISO is not an acronym. The word ISO derived from the Greek word isos which means "equal". In other language iso is a prefix such as "isometric" (equal dimension). The Organization believes that the name should be ISO so that it would be acceptable by all other languages.
