國際標準化組織(英文:International Organization for Standardization,簡稱ISO,成立于1947年2月23日,是制作全世界工商業(yè)國際標準的各國國家標準機構代表的國際標準建立機構,總部設于瑞士日內(nèi)瓦,成員包括162個會員國。該組織自我定義為非政府組織,官方語言是英語、法語和俄語。參加者包括各會員國的國家標準機構和主要公司。
ISO會員分布圖。綠色是會員(members),黑色是非會員,黃色是通訊會員(correspondent members),紅色是預定加入會員(subscriber members)。
中華人民共和國在1978年9月1日以中國標準化協(xié)會的名義參加ISO,并在1982年9月當選并連任理事國(1983年~1994年)。1985年和1989年,分別改由國家標準局和國家技術監(jiān)督局參加。2001年起,在ISO代表中華人民共和國會籍的會員機構是國家標準化管理委員會。
香港和澳門均是ISO通訊成員(correspondent members)。
中華民國原是ISO創(chuàng)始國之一,但目前中華民國已不是ISO成員,但《中華民國國家標準》通常仍參考ISO標準。
ISO與負責電子設備標準的國際電工委員會密切合作。
ISO的國際標準以數(shù)字表示。例如,“ISO 11180:1993”的“11180”是標準號碼,而“1993”是出版年份。
國際標準化組織的簡稱ISO來自于希臘語的單詞isos,意為“相同”,并不是英語或法語名稱的縮寫。
2013年09月21日中國標準化專家委員會委員、國際鋼鐵協(xié)會副主席張曉剛,日前當選國際標準化組織(ISO)主席,是ISO自1947年成立以來首由中國人任主席。ISO是國際經(jīng)貿(mào)活動的重要規(guī)則。59歲的張曉剛,曾任鞍鋼集團總經(jīng)理,是中共十八屆紀委委員。
因為中文不是ISO的官方語言,所以ISO標準沒有正式中文名稱。
ISO是一個國際標準化組織,其成員由來自世界上100多個國家的國家標準化團體組成,代表中國參加ISO的國家機構是國家質量監(jiān)督檢驗檢疫總局。ISO與國際電工委員會(IEC)有密切的聯(lián)系,中國參加IEC的國家機構也是國家質量監(jiān)督檢驗檢疫總局。ISO和IEC作為一個整體擔負著制訂全球協(xié)商一致的國際標準的任務,ISO和IEC都是非政府機構,它們制訂的標準實質上是自愿性的,這就意味著這些標準必須是優(yōu)秀的標準,它們會給工業(yè)和服務業(yè)帶來收益,所以他們自覺使用這些標準。ISO和IEC不是聯(lián)合國機構,但它們與聯(lián)合國的許多專門機構保持技術聯(lián)絡關系。ISO和IEC有約1000個專業(yè)技術委員會和分委員會,各會員國以國家為單位參加這些技術委員會和分委員會的活動。ISO和IEC還有約3000個工作組,ISO、IEC每年制訂和修訂1000個國際標準。
標準的內(nèi)容涉及廣泛,從基礎的緊固件、軸承各種原材料到半成品和成品,其技術領域涉及信息技術、交通運輸、農(nóng)業(yè)、保健和環(huán)境等。每個工作機構都有自己的工作計劃,該計劃列出需要制訂的標準項目(試驗方法、術語、規(guī)格、性能要求等)。
ISO的主要功能是為人們制訂國際標準達成一致意見提供一種機制。其主要機構及運作規(guī)則都在一本名為ISO/IEC技術工作導則的文件中予以規(guī)定,其技術結構在ISO是有800個技術委員會和分委員會,它們各有一個主席和一個秘書處,秘書處是由各成員國分別擔任,目前承擔秘書國工作的成員團體有30個,各秘書處與位于日內(nèi)瓦的ISO中央秘書處保持直接聯(lián)系。
通過這些工作機構,ISO已經(jīng)發(fā)布了17000多個國際標準,如ISO公制螺紋、ISO的A4紙張尺寸、ISO的集裝箱系列(目前世界上95%的海運集裝箱都符合ISO標準)、ISO的膠片速度代碼、ISO的開放系統(tǒng)互聯(lián)(OS2)系列(廣泛用于信息技術領域)和有名的ISO9000質量管理系列標準。
此外,ISO還與450個國際和區(qū)域的組織在標準方面有聯(lián)絡關系,特別與國際電信聯(lián)盟(ITU)有密切聯(lián)系。在ISO/IEC系統(tǒng)之外的國際標準機構共有28個。每個機構都在某一領域制訂一些國際標準,通常它們在聯(lián)合國控制之下。一個典型的例子就是世界衛(wèi)生組織(WHO)。ISO/IEC 制訂的85%的國際標準,剩下的15%由這28個其他國際標準機構制訂。
國際標準化活動最早開始于電子領域,于1906年成立了世界上最早的國際標準化機構——國際電工委員會(IEC)。其他技術領域的工作原先有成立于1926年的國家標準化協(xié)會的國際聯(lián)盟(International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations,簡稱ISA)承擔,重點在于機械工程方面。ISA的工作由于二次大戰(zhàn)在1942年終止。1946年,來自25個國家的代表在倫敦召開會議,決定成立一個新的國際組織,其目的是促進國際間的合作和工業(yè)標準的統(tǒng)一。于是,ISO這一新組織于1947年2月23日正式成立,總部設在瑞士的日內(nèi)瓦。ISO于1951年發(fā)布了第一個標準——工業(yè)長度測量用標準參考溫度。
ISO宗旨是:在世界范圍內(nèi)促進標準化工作的發(fā)展,以利于國際物資交流和互助,并擴大知識、科學、技術和經(jīng)濟方面的合作。
ISO主要任務是:制定國際標準,協(xié)調(diào)世界范圍內(nèi)的標準化工作,與其他國際性組織合作研究有關標準化問題。
ISO組織機構如下:
合格評定委員會(CASCO)
消費者政策委員會(COPOLCO)
發(fā)展中國家事務委員會(DEVCO)
信息系統(tǒng)和服務委員會(INFCO)

ISO全體大會
ISO的組織機構分為非常設機構和常設機構。ISO的最高權力機構是ISO全體大會(General Assembly),是ISO的非常設機構。1994年以前,全體大會每3年召開一次。全體大會召開時,所有ISO團體成員、通信成員、與ISO有聯(lián)絡關系的國際組織均派代表與會,每個成員有3個正式代表的席位,多于3位以的代表以觀察員的身份與會;全體大會的規(guī)模大約200~260人。大會的主要議程包括年度報告中涉及的有關項目的活動情況、ISO的戰(zhàn)略計劃以及財政情況等。ISO中央秘書處承擔全體大會、全體大會設立的4個政策制定委員會、理事會、技術管理局和通用標準化原理委員會的秘書處的工作。自1994年開始根據(jù)ISO新章程,ISO全體大會改為一年一次。
ISO的主要官員有5位,他們是:ISO主席(President);ISO副主席(政策)(Vice President,Policy),ISO副主席(技術)(Vice President,Technical Management);ISO司庫(Treasurer);ISO秘書長(Secretary—General),所有主要官員由理事會任命,享有終身任期;ISO秘書長負責主持ISO的日常工作。
國際標準由技術委員會(TC)和分技術委員會(SC)經(jīng)過六個階段形成:
第一階段:申請階段;
第二階段:預備階段;
第三階段:委員會階段;
第四階段:審查階段;
第五階段:批準階段;
第六階段:發(fā)布階段。
截止2013年5月,ISO共有163個成員國[2]。

3.Although not technically a Country, the Palestinian State has representation in ISO as if it was.
4.Although technically the official country name for the 'UK' is the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' it is referred to as 'Great Britain' by the ISO.
5.Although technically they are Countries, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are not listed separately from Great Britain in ISO 3166-1993 (E) and do not have their own ISO representation.
