ISO naming philosophy for the World Organization for Standardization
Since ISO, or the International Organization for Standardization, has different abbreviations in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in France), the founders decided to give it an abbreviated form of ISO.
ISO is derived from the Greek word ISOS meaning equality. Whatever the loss and wherever the country is, this organization and certification is always called ISO.
