ISO
The acronym-like term "ISO" stands for The International Organization
for Standardization, based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1947
for the purpose of advancing standardization around the world, this
non-governmental organization is now comprised of over 130 member
countries. Each country is represented by its respective national
standards body and participates in developing standards to facilitate
trade of goods and services in the global marketplace. The standards
developed apply not only to economic related activities but also
cover the related technology and science involved in these pursuits.
Often thought to be an acronym, the term "ISO" is actually derived
from the Greek word "isos" which means "equal" or "equivalent."
From this word comes the modern prefix "iso-" which occurs in words
such as "isotonic" and "isogonic" each having the concept of equivalency
in its definition. The term "ISO" was chosen because of its close
approximation to an acronym of The International Organization for
Standardization and because it would avoid the varying acronyms
that would result due to translations of the name into different
languages around the world. In other words, a standard name for
the organization that defines standards.
