ISO international standards are developed with the collaboration and consensus of a wide range of stakeholders around the world, including representatives from government, industry, and standardization bodies.
ISO partners with numerous international organizations to ensure participation from a diverse array of stakeholders, bringing the benefits of standards to all countries, regardless of size or economic status, ensuring that standards are globally relevant.
ISO also works to reinforce the capacity of developing countries with the aim of strengthening national standards infrastructure, augmenting their policy and strategic skills, building technical and operational expertise, and supporting participation in international standardization activities.
