ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction

Rattan, a term derived from the Malay word for climbing palms, ‘rotan’, is a specialised group of

scaly-fruited, spiny, climbing palms which belong to the family Palmae or Arecaceae. Rattans are

monocotyledons with flexible stem and are generally found in tropical humid forest. The slender stem

of the rattan is often winding like a rope and armed with thorns or bristle. It has a diameter of less than

10 cm and reaches a length of about 30 m after ten years of growth. In rare cases some species can grow

up to 200 m long.

About 620 species of rattan occur in the tropical and subtropical rainforest ecosystems of Australia

(Queensland), India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Philippines,

Laos, and Vietnam among others), the moist tropical forests of West and Central Africa (most especially

Central Africa, Ghana Cameroon, and Nigeria) and the Pacific (e.g., Fiji). However, South East Asian

nations primarily the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia are the top producers of rattan products

and raw materials. Though a few species of rattan have been cultivated in Indonesia and a few other

countries, the greatest proportion of production originates from natural forests.

Rattan is harvested for its cane, a versatile renewable material that has been used for making various

products such as furniture, baskets, mats, walking sticks, handbags and crafts. Rattan cultivation,

processing and utilisation constitute a major topic of interest in many parts of the globe in view of its

role in poverty alleviation, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings. According to UN

comtrade 2013, imports of rattan products globally neared USD 745 million. Global demand for rattan

products is strong and new designs for rattan furniture and basketry products continue to appeal to

modern consumers. Indonesia remains the major rattan product exporter, but China and Vietnam are

increasing their share of the global rattan trade despite being short of raw rattan, whilst the Philippines,

Myanmar, Malay
