The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards.
ANSI / ISO 12100 is an âidenticalâ national adoption of the ISO 12100:2010 standard, which is itself, an editorial combination of ISO 12100-1, ISO 12100-2 and ISO 14121. This standard is little changed from the 20+ year old EN 292 and EN 1050 standards which were the precursors to the ISO standards.
