ISO is a non-government organisation that comprises standards bodies in over 160 countries, with one standards body representing each member country. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for example, represents the United States.
Member organisations collaborate in the development and promotion of international standards for technology, scientific testing processes, working conditions, societal issues and more. ISO and its members then sell documents detailing these standards.
A General Assembly, which consists of representatives from ISO members and elected leaders (known as "Principal Officers), act as the decision-makers for ISO. The ISO headquarters is in Geneva, Switzerland, where a central secretariat oversees all operations.
