Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards institutes (IS0 member bodies). The work of developing Inter-
national 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 non-governmental, 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.
International Standard IS0 2709 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46,
Documentation, and was circulated to the member bodies in June 1980.
It has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
Poland
Australia France
Austria Germany, F. R. Romania
Belgium Hungary South Africa, Rep. of
Brazil India Spain
Canada Iran Sweden
China Italy Switzerland
Czechoslovakia Japan United Kingdom
Korea, Rep. of USA
Denmark
Egypt, Arab Rep. of Mexico USSR
Finland Netherlands
No member body expressed disapproval of the document.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (i.e. IS0 2709-1973).
