ISO
Abbreviation for International Organization for Standardization
In short and in plain language
ISO is the world body for standards.
It puts out standards that are used in many countries. They cover things like quality and the safety of data. Codes for countries and languages are part of it too.
Firms refer to such standards. They do so, say, when they show proof and certificates on their website.
