The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Fifth edition, 2004. 68p. This part of the ISO/IEC Directives specifies rules for the structure and drafting of documents intended to become International Standards, Technical Specifications or Publicly Available Specifications. As far as practicable, these rules also apply to documents intended to become Technical Reports or Guides. All these document types are referred to collectively hereinafter as documents, unless otherwise necessary. The rules are intended to ensure that such documents, prepared by the committee secretariats of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), are drafted in as uniform a manner as practicable, irrespective of the technical content.
