In 1992, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a revised edition of the International Standard ISO 31, Quantities and Units. This standard consists of fourteen different parts (published as a single volume in 1993) and is issued in English (E) and French (F). The revision revealed many questions — new as well as old ones — about the terminology for quantities and units. Some of these questions concerning English terminology are discussed in this article. Comparison with German (D) and Swedish (S), since it is the author's mother tongue, is also made in some cases.

AbstractInternational virtual human body (VHB) standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifically used in virtual garment systems in the apparel field, as suggested in ISO/TC 133/WG 2 (Working group 2), contain fundamental content regarding definitions of terms, attributes of composition, and the expression and alteration of VHBs. As the first attempt in the series of international standards dealing with VHBs, this study has dealt with fundamental content related to VHB size. Additional standardization is required to allow the size and shape of VHB to be reproducible. Therefore, this study suggests academic and industrial requirements from the perspective of standardization to identify and solve issues regarding the reproduction of human bodies in terms of VHB size and shape. This study is meaningful in that it provides an overview of current VHB standardization efforts, related proceedings, and additionally required assignments. The suggested industrial and academic requirements are anticipated to be helpful in the systematic development and utilization of VHB and general standardization work.

The Difference

International reference zero levels for pure-tone audiometers have been agreed upon and recommended by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are under consideration for inclusion in a new American Standard for Audiometers. The new ISO levels are desirable because (1) the shape of the threshold contour is more accurate, (2) the threshold levels are reproducible from laboratory to laboratory and from country to country, and (3) they represent the only apparent escape from permanent ambiguity and confusion in international exchange of audiometric information. The new ISO levels differ significantly from the American Standard values of 1951, in terms of which our present rules and laws for calculating percentage impairment of hearing for compensation purposes are written. The apparent difficulties arising from the numerical differences can be easily overcome, however, because it is possible to go from the 1964 ISO scale to the 1951 ASA scale by a simple subtraction before beginning such calculations. For the average of the three frequencies 500, 1 000 and 2 000 c/s the difference to be subtracted is 11 dB.

Series of ISO 9000 quality system was developed by the International Organization for Standardization ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in order to create uniform requirements for quality management processes and formation based on these requirements of quality systems in all organizations. The aim is investment features quality management system implementation in the Bureau of forensics. Summary. Quality management system - is the foundation of organizational management in any organization. During its development in accordance with international standards for quality management systems refers to the development and implementation of this system in the organization, and we are creating a system of management is the processes that affect the level of services to conduct forensic examinations. The implementation of this system in the bureau forensics requires a new system of governance, and requires detailed documentation and regulation of all processes, procedures and services. On the basis of the test material can confirm the importance and utility of implementing a quality management system according to the requirements of ISO 9001: 2009 in the Bureau of forensics. The advantages of implementing QMS are: ordering and regulation (implementation of action sequences according to approved procedures) of the implementation of forensic examinations; ability to enhance internal workflow, a clearer division of responsibilities, tasks and responsibilities through the prescription process and management; improve the quality of services for forensic examination; rational and efficient use of resources, especially

This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities of developing standards for biomimetic materials, based on the authors experience with International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/Technical Committee 266 Biomimetics. With the expansion of global trade, international standards are increasingly called on to protect the interests of consumers, improve business productivity and facilitate trade. In the past, standards typically addressed form/fit/function specifications and were associated with mature industries. Recently some ISO standards are focusing on processes, quality and consistency, which can support advances in emerging fields. ISO has the potential to advance biomimetic materials and biomimetics in general by developing and promoting frameworks that reflect the evolving nature of biomimetics.

<p>As member in organization of international standard ISO, it expected that Indonesia could conduit its importance to survive in the globalization era, that using standards and conformity assessment as a reference in commerce transaction. As one of biggest rubber producer in the world and have importance in international trade, it needs any study of the growth of international trade of Indonesian rubber to all countries destination that concern to international standard related rubber. This study is focused to the countries destination that as a member of international organization for standardization (ISO) especially member of ISO/TC 45, where is Indonesia as a member. The results of this study show that Indonesian rubber export to the ISO/TC 45 member countries destination is growth higher rather than to other countries destination. Its show that the export to the ISO/TC 45 member countries destination is dominated by SITC 231 and to the other countries destination is dominated by SITC 231 and 625.</p>
