Technical rules and regulations based on specific terms are
referred as standardization. These technical rules are used by most of the
industries. The DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V., German Institute for Standardization)
is based in Berlin and administers about 29,500 DIN standards. The DIN updates
the valid standards and has about 1,745 members relating to the different sectors
of industry, science and services. There are more than 26,278 experts work for DIN,
and the standards are developed by the working groups. Standards are drafted
and availed for all the interested parties which are then published as valid
standards.
The international standards are used in place of national
standards to abridge the international movements of goods and to eliminate
trade barriers. Thus, the quality standard is standardized at a great level for
the movement of products in worldwide.
ISO is the "International Organization for
Standardization" based in Geneva. The standardization is based on an
international level, with more than 157 countries are members of the
organization. All work results are published under the name of "ISO".
Many ISO standards are adopted as European standards, and
there is acquired as the status of a DIN standard (DIN EN ISO), whereas some ISO
standards are directly adopted as DIN standards (DIN ISO).
There are several standards such as ISO for international
standard, DIN for German national standard, DIN ISO for German edition of an unaltered
ISO standard, EN for European standard, EN ISO for European version of unchanged
ISO standard, DIN EN for German edition of a European Standard, and DIN EN ISO
for German edition of an EN ISO standard.
