Understanding the International Organization for Standardization and how ISOCODE.CV makes working with international standards accessible to everyone.
The International Organization for Standardization creates worldwide standards that ensure quality, safety, and efficiency across industries and borders.
ISO develops over 24,000 international standards covering everything from technology and food safety to agriculture and healthcare, used in 167 countries worldwide.
Standards are developed through consensus among experts from national standards bodies, ensuring they meet global needs and reflect best practices.
ISO standards provide confidence that products and services are safe, reliable, and of good quality, facilitating international trade and communication.
ISOCODE.CV exists to make ISO standards accessible, searchable, and useful for developers, businesses, and organizations worldwide. We believe that standardized codes should be easy to find, understand, and implement.
Our platform provides comprehensive, up-to-date information about ISO codes with powerful search tools, validation utilities, and developer-friendly APIs to integrate standards into any application or workflow.

Key milestones in the development of international standardization
The International Organization for Standardization was established in Geneva, Switzerland, bringing together national standards bodies from 25 countries.
The first version of ISO 3166 for country codes was published, establishing the foundation for modern international country identification.
ISO 639 for language codes was established, providing standardized identification for languages used in documentation and computing.
Modern currency code standards were established, enabling consistent identification of currencies in international transactions and systems.
ISOCODE.CV was created to provide free, comprehensive access to ISO standards with modern tools for developers and organizations worldwide.
The most commonly used ISO standards that power global communication and commerce
Defines codes for countries and their subdivisions. Used in everything from web domains (.us, .uk) to shipping addresses and international databases.
