Table 1. International standard classification of occupations ISCO-88 occupational code numbers (different skill levels) and international standard industrial classification ISIC Rev. 3 industrial code numbers, as appropriate, for selected occupations and industries. Code numbers selected on a hierarchical level as low as possible. Exclusions in job title may not be applicable to units determined by numbers. In case of multiple code numbers, the original classifications should be consulted as to which number (entry) is most appropriate for the actual classification problem ...

WHPA). As a major result of these efforts, ILO agreed to classify biomedical engineers not just as engineers as it did in the past, but also as an integral part of the health professionals in its new International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08). 

The ratio of the hazard rates defining the 1st and 99th percentile of the worker population is approximately 700. This means that the risk determinants incorporated in the model (age, sex, nativity, worker-firm relationship and sector) can account for large risk differentials within the worker population. However, further improvement of the model could be achieved if workers within the sectors are differentiated according to the hazard potential of their jobs, for instance by means of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). This information was not available in our data. 

The recommendations of the International Standards Organization (ISO) covering mineral-oil lubricants for reciprocating compressors are set out in ISO DP 6521, under the ISO-L-DAA and ISO-L-DAB classifications. These cover applications wherever air-discharge temperature are, respectively, below and above 160°C (329°F). For mineral-oil lubricants used in oil-flooded rotary-screw compressors the classifications ISO-L-DAG and DAH cover applications where temperatures are, respectively, below 100°C (212°F) and in the 100-110°C range. For more severe applications, where synthetic lubricants might be used, the ISO-L-DAC and DAJ specifications cover both reciprocating and oil-flooded rotary-screw requirements. 

ICD-10 Tenth revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. It is the international standard diagnostic classification for all general epidemiological and many health management purposes. 

The United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) includes an internationally standardized guidance procedure on Transformation/Dissolution Protocol (T/DP) for metals and sparingly soluble metal compounds (United Nations, 2007), recently validated by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). To establish the acute aquatic hazard classification level of a metal-bearing substance under the GHS, data from the T/DP are compared with an acute ecotoxicity reference value (ERV) derived under conditions similar to those of the T/DP.

There is an international standard, ISO 46641 which is written as a guide to dynamic testing and which can be referred to for definitions of terms used and also includes classifications of test machines, preferred conditions, recommended test piece shapes and a bibliography. The British standard is identical (BS ISO 4664). ASTM has taken the same approach but the equivalent2 is more like a small text book and includes some rather unnecessary definitions (e.g. lubricated and relative). Whilst it is some ways a valuable reference, in other respects it is over the top for many peoples testing needs.

The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals is an international standard for chemical classification and hazard communication that countries can use to establish comprehensive national chemical safety programmes. 

As time passes, national standards for area classification have been superseded by international standards (IEC, International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva/Switzerland, and EN, European Standard or European Norm, established by CENELEC, Comite Europeen de Normalisation Electrotechnique, Brussels/Belgium), which have been adopted as subsequent national standards. In the member countries of the European Community (EC), a joint area classification is defined by a directive (Directive 1999/92/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, dated 1999-12-16). 

At the present time, IEC 61241-3 combined with IEC 61241-1-1 and with IEC 61241-1-2 as international standards describe construction and testing of electrical apparatus for areas hazardous due to combustible dusts on the basis of a three-zone classification (zones 20,21 and 22). 

In 1993, a new classification system for cotton fiber quality, RST Uz 604-93, was introduced in Uzbekistan [603]. Since 1995, this standard has also been used in Kazakhstan and Tadjikistan [603]. In Azerbaijan, attempts are made to classify its cotton in accordance with international standards [605]. 

Though not considered as an international standard, the following classification system serves as the main reference for most manufacturers. This system contains four groups ... 

The structure of the definitions of the clinical activities has been incorporated within the national standards for classification in health in Australia. SHPA collaborated with the Australia National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH) to develop pharmacy procedure codes within the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Related Problems Australian Modification.The classification has subsequently been piloted in 28 hospitals to develop a standard approach to the documentation of clinical services to individual patients. - ... 

Trade statistics for the United States are compiled by the Department of Commerce, which uses the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) (4). (Note There have been changes in the code, with the result that data after 1994 are not comparable with those of previous years.) The following list of SITC classes gives the principal products in each category ...
