FOREWORD
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (IS0 Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations,
governmental and nongovernmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the IS0 Council.
Prior to 1972, the results of the work of the Technical Committees were published
as IS0 Recommendations; these documents are now in process of being
transformed into International Standards. As part of this process, International
Standard IS0 1968 replaces IS0 Recommendation R 1968-1971 drawn up by
Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.
The Member Bodies of the following countries approved the Recommendation :
Australia Germany South Africa, Rep. of
Belgium
Greece Sparn
Brazil India Sweden
Czechoslovakia Iran Switzerland
Denmark Israel Thailand
Egypt, Arab Rep, of Korea, Rep. of Turkey
Finland Netherlands United Kingdom
France Norway U.S.S.R.
The Member Body of the following country expressed disapproval of the
Recommendation on technical grounds :

Normes lnternationales est confide aux Comites Techniques ISO. Chaque Comite
Membre interesse par une etude a le droit de faire partie du Comite Technique
correspondant. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non

Normes lnternationales par le Conseil de I’ISO.
