Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 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, govern-
mental 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
IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at
the
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard IS0 972 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34,
Agricultural food products.
It cancels and replaces IS0 Recommendation R 972-1969, of which it constitutes a
technical revision.

créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouverne-
