# Section 2:
International Standards

The International Standards Organisation (ISO) and the International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC) issue joint standards in respect of computing and other related technologies. The field of computing is served by a Joint Technical Committee (JTC1).

The organisational structure below JTC1 divides into sub-committees and then Working Groups. JTC1/SC22/WG20 is the working group charged with formulating standards and policy in respect of the internationalisation of computer programs and software.

The following standards produced by that working group form part of this specification :-

- ISO/IEC 14651 International String Ordering.
- ISO/IEC 14652 Specification Method for Cultural Conventions.
- ISO/IEC 15435 Internationalisation API.
- ISO/IEC 15897:1999 Procedures for registration for cultural elements.
