International Organization of Standards

In 1983, BSI approached the International Organization of Standardization in Geneva with a view to developing an international quality system standard and eventually a committee was formed. Using BS 5750 as its basis, the ISO 9000 series of standards was born. 

The supplier is deemed to be the client of the certification body, not the International Organization of Standardization (ISO). 

Since 1994, the automotive industry in the USA and Europe has been operating quality system certification schemes that extended the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 10011, and EN 45012. One of these schemes was addressed by my QS-9000 Quality S /stems Handbook, published in 1996. In the same year the automakers of the USA and Europe formed the International Automotive Task Force (lATF) which, in cooperation with the technical committee of the International Organization of Standardization (TO 176), produced ISO/TS 16949. Use of and registration to this new standard is currently voluntary. It is intended that following the first revision to incorporate ISO 9000 2000, the ISO/TS 16949 certification scheme will be mandated by all major vehicle manufacturers on their Tier 1 suppliers. As a result, the standard will be cascaded along the supply chain, ultimately reaching all suppliers to the global automotive industry. 

The complete analysis of alcohol sulfates is described in the Standard Methods of the International Organization of Standards (ISO) [200] and of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) [201]. These methods describe the analysis of inorganic sulfate content, chloride content, unsulfated matter, and water as well as other analytical values. Other ISO standards describe the analysis of sodium secondary alkyl sulfates [202], determination of pH [203], determination of water content [204,205], chlorides [206], total active matter in sul fated ethoxylated alcohols and alkylphenols [207], mean relative molecular mass in sulfated ethoxylated alcohols and alkylphenols [208], sulfate content...

All of the environmentally-controlled areas of pharmaceutical manufacturing and its related areas should meet the requirement of air cleanliness, which is expressed as classifications specified by official standards, such as ISO (International Organization of Standardization) or FED-STD (U.S. federal standard) 209, and/or GMP. The classification has a close relationship with the air treatment procedures and construction features.

Whereas GMP as well as GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and GCP (Good Clinical Practice) are mainly acting on the operational or technical level, other quality assurance standards have been established by the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) to assure quality at the organizational level. Inadequate organizations with unclear tasks and responsibilities can severely influence the quality of products and services. 

Currently, seven major manufacturers produce fluorocarbon elastomers, and these are listed in Table 5.1. The main commercially available fluorocarbon elastomers are listed in Table 5.2. In the ASTM D1418, fluorocarbon elastomers have a designation FKM, and in the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) R1629 their designation is FPM. Current worldwide fluoroelastomer demand is 21,000 metric tons, with average annual growth of approximately 7% [5]. 

One or more national standardization organizations and the International Organization of Standardization approve standard names. The chemical names are either according to the rules of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry or according to Chemical Abstracts. The so-called Chemical Abstracts Services Registry Number (CAS-RN) is a number that makes it easy to find the product or chemical in databases from Chemical Abstracts. The standard names are regarded as ordinary nouns, but the pesticide products are sold under a trade name that is treated as a proper name with a capital initial letter. We use the various names of a fungicide as an example ...
