FOREWORD

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (ISO Member Bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through ISO Technical Committees. Every Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set up 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.

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.

Prior to 1972, the results of the work of the Technical Committees were published as ISO Recommendations; these documents are now in the process of being transformed into International Standards. As part of this process. Technical Committee ISO/TC 54 has reviewed ISO Recommendation R 1041 and found it suitable for transformation. International Standard ISO therefore replaces ISO Recommendation R 1041-1969.

ISO Recommendation R 1041 was approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries :

Argentina	Germany	Portugal
Australia	Greece	Romania
Austria	India	Spain
Belgium	Italy	Sweden
Canada	Morocco	United Kingdom
Chile	Netherlands	U.S.S.R.
France	New Zealand	Yugoslavia

No Member Body expressed disapproval of the Recommendation.
