Standards Australia is Australia’s representative on the International Organization for Standardization [ISO], the International Electrotechnical Commission [IEC], and the Pacific Area Standards Congress [PASC]. It provides input into the development of approximately 18,000 International Standards by ISO and IEC.
The organisation develops and maintains more than 7000 Australian Standards® and related publications which are prepared by 1700 committees involving more than 9000 committee members, including a significant number of AIB members. These documents, used in countless daily business transactions, facilitate trade between individuals, corporations and nations.
Standards Australia was one of the first organizations of its type in the world to develop on-line delivery of technical and business standards. The organisation uses a facilitation process based on transparency, consensus and stakeholder representation from interest groups including governments, industry bodies, trade and professional associations, academia and consumer groups.
