Abstract

In industrialized countries, National Standardization Organizations (NSOs) were founded in the early decades of the 20th Century by organizations of engineers, and in some countries with organizations of industrialists.1 These NSOs had to develop national standards, to join efforts and avoid duplication of work by different industries that each made company or sectoral standards to solve the same matching problems.2 International and regional standardization started later, after the second World War.3 In electrotechnical and telecommunications standardization, however, there was an international dimension from the outset; international standardization organizations were established in 1865 (ITU,4 telecommunications) and 1906 (IEC, electrotechnology).
