History of ISO and Standardization

ISO History

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards.

ISO History

founded in 1947, with 67 official TCs and since then have published more than 19 500 International Standards covering almost all aspects of technology and business.

ISO History

Today ISO have members from 164 countries and about 150 people work full time for ISO Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.

Fire Safety Standardization

Technical Committee (TC) The technical work is carried out

through technical committees (TC's) which are established by the Technical Management Board (TMB).

TC's establish their own subcommittees (SC's) and working groups (WG's) to undertake the work.

Each and SC has a secretariat assigned to a member body for eg. BSI, DIN, AFNOR, ANSI, JISC, UKAS, NQA etc

Technical Committee (TC) TC 92 – Fire Safety TC 92 / SC1 - Fire Initiation and Growth. TC 92 / SC2 - Fire Containment TC 92 / SC3 - Fire Threat to People and Environment TC 92 / SC4 - Fire Safety Engineering
