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. Esch 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 non-governmental, 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 10787-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 72, Textile machinery and allied machinery and accessories, Subcommittee
SC 3, Machinery for fabric manufacture.
The first edition of ISO 10787-2 cancels and partially replaces
ISO 568:1976 and ISO 569:1982, which have been technically revised
and expanded.
