THE AUTHORIZED ORGANIZATION TO RELEASE THE STANDARD CERTIFICATION
The standardization of product, services and procedures plays a important role
currently, because it does compatible and facilitate the work that involvement
more than one part, since the standardization promotes the safety, quality and
technical compatibility. Some organizations perform standardization and they
aren’t specialized in IPR (Intellectually property right) standardization although the
standardization is need in that case.
World Standards Services Network (WSSN) name like International Standardizing
Bodies and it’s scope the next organization (the next list was took of the official
page of the WSSN, http://www.wssn.net/WSSN/listings/links_international.html)
