Frequently Asked Questions
ISO/TC 72/SC 3 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Machinery for fabric manufacturing including preparatory machinery and accessories". This committee has published 121 standards.
ISO/TC 72/SC 3 develops ISO standards. Currently, there are 121 published standards from this subcommittee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
