21、onal Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established
22、by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field
23、 of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical committee, lSO/lEC JTCI. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 o/o of th
24、e national bodies casting a vote. International Standard lSO/lEC 11321 was prepared by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (as Standard ECMA-146) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTCI, Irzji)mtalion cchnofogy, in parallel with
25、its approval hy national bodies of IS0 and IEC. Annexes A, D, E, F. G. II, K and M form an integral part of this International Standard. Annexes l3, (, J and L. are for information only. Patents During the preparation of the ECMA standard, information was gathered on patents upon which :rpplicntion
26、of the standard might depend. Relevant patterns were identified as belonging to Hitachi and the Sony Corporation. tlowever, neither ECMA nor lSO/IEC can give authoritative or comprehensive information about evidence, validity or scope of patent and like rights.
