In 1992, the International Organisation for Standardisation established a technical committee on Environmental Management (TC207) to develop a series of standards on environmental management. This was subsequently published as the IS014000 series of standards. Although this is a field that is rapidly maturing, LCA has been criticized on a number of points. 

According to the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) quality is the entirety of attributes and characteristics of a product or a service which are necessary to fulfil its defined or assumed requirements. As already indicated, quality can be seen to be more or less comprehensive, for which reason many organisations define or describe their commitment to quality in a so-called quality policy statement. A quality policy typically is based on three fundamental principles ...

Recently there has been progress towards a universal acceptance of collaboratively tested methods and collaborative trial results and methods, no matter by whom these trials are organised. This has been aided by the publication of the IUPAC/ISO/AOAC Harmonisation Protocol on Collaborative Studies.14 That Protocol was developed under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists (IUPAC) aided by representatives from the major organisations interested in conducting collaborative studies. In particular, from the food sector, the AO AC International, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the International Dairy Federation (IDF), the Collaborative International Analytical Council for Pesticides (CIPAC), the Nordic Analytical Committee (NMKL), the Codex Committee on Methods of...

Nowadays the so-called practical unit system is in general used. It is a really coherent system, which means that no multiplication factors are introduced in the definition of derived units as soon as the base units have been defined. In 1969 this coherent system was recommended by the International Organisation for Standardisation as International System of Units (SI = Systeme International d Unites) and in 1973 it was accepted as such, according to International Standard ISO 1000. 

International Standard A standard published by the International Organisation for Standardisation and commencing with ISO (e.g., ISO 16929). Note for electrical products the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the main international standardisation body. 

It is widely known that standards define the advanced state of the art in a well-defined system. They describe technical rules which have been tested and proven and are accepted practice in the commercial world. Most standards have been studied and developed in European countries (Italy CUNA, Germany DIN, France AFNOR, Great Britain BSI etc.). The importance of internationally approved standards has increased recently because of growing world trade. In 1926, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) was founded to address these concerns. At present, ISO is made up of more than 140 different national standard organisations.

Food methods validated by a collaborative trial study and those validated using the single-laboratory approach have been adopted as national and international standards by, e.g. CEN, International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), AOAC International and by the Joint FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Food Standards Programme. A number of EN Standards developed by CEN relate to the organisation of controls. It is however important to keep in mind that, in addition to the method performance criteria, economical and prevention strategy...

There was, at one time, an unfortunate lack of uniformity in methods of testing and expression of fastness. It was for the purpose of bringing about greater uniformity that the Fastness Tests Committee of the Society of Dyers and Colourists was set up in 1927, and it did much to co-ordinate methods of testing within the field of the Society s influence. There was, however, little international uniformity and in 1947 the International Organisation for Standardisation (I.S.O.) formed a colour-fastness subcommittee. On account of its international nature the I.S.O. cannot impose its decisions, and the term I.S.O. Recommendation is therefore used for a test upon which final agreement has been reached.
