ISO/IEC 8859-4:1997 (E)

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the

International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized

system for worldwide standardization.

National bodies that are

members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of

International Standards through technical committees established by

the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical

activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of

mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and

nongovernmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the

work.

In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established

a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC1.

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% of the national bodies casting a

vote.

Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1,

Information technology,

Subcommittee SC 2,
