ISO standards touch everyone. From enabling you to use your bank card overseas to ensuring your child's toys don't have sharp edges, International Standards are used everywhere, providing the technical specifications followed by companies all over the world to ensure products and services work the way you expect them to.
What's more, they help to improve customer satisfaction. In a world where the customer's voice is increasingly prominent, this is an essential business requirement.
That's why consumer representatives play an integral role in the development of standards.
Consumers and standards development

quality and reliability
consistency in the delivery of services
choice and fair competition
transparency in production information
suitability of products for vulnerable populations
builds credibility of standards to support consumer protection laws
ISO's Committee on Consumer Policy (COPOLCO) is dedicated to the promoting consumer participation in standards. Find out more about COPOLCO.
