Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 7482-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 120, Leather, Subcommittee
SC 1, Raw hides and skins, including pickled pelts.
ISO 7482 consists of the following parts, under the general title Raw goat skins:
� Part 1: Descriptions of defects
� Part 2: Guidelines for grading on the basis of mass and size
� Part 3: Guidelines for grading on the basis of defects
