Copyright International Organization for Standardization Not for Resale Price based on 3 pages without license from IHS Foreword ISo (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (ISO member bodies). The work of developing Inter- national Standards is carried out through Iso 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 sO, 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 theIso Council. International Standard ISO 6511 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, Building construction, and was circufated to the member bodies in December 1978. It has been approved by the member bodies of the foltowing countries : Australia Greece New Zeatand Hungary Norway Belgium Bulgaria India Poland Ireiand Romania Canada China Israel South Africa, Rep. of Cyprus Italy Spain Czechoslovakia Japan Sweden Denmark Korea, Rep. of Switzerland Finland Libyan Arab Jamahiriya Thailand France Mexico Turkey Germany, F.R.
