ISO 2146 : 1988 (EI
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. Esch 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, govern-
mental 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 2146 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46,
Documentation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 2146 : 19721, of which it
constitutes a technical revision.
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

Care is to be taken when quoting the name of the institution that it is
in an unambiguous form; as an example, dependent branches or
divisions, which are to be treated here as a main entry, are to be listed
after their appropriate institution.
Example :
Ministry of Financial Affairs - Library
The data element “Parent organization” (sec 01-05-01) is also to be
filled in with “Ministry of Financial Affairs”.
Separate institutions with unambiguous names tan be recorded under
their own names, even in the case where a “parent organization” is
available.

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. Esch 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, govern-
mental 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 2146 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46,
Documentation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 2146 : 19721, of which it
constitutes a technical revision.
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.
