Price based on 3 pages Copyright International Organization for Standardization without license from IHS Not for Resale Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (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 authorized 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 internationat Standards by the ISo Council. International Standard ISO 4101 was developed by Technical Committee 1SO/TC 105, Steel wire ropes, and was circulated to the member bodies in October 1982. It has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries : Austria India Sweden Canada Israel Switzerland China Italy United Kingdom Czechoslovakia Korea, Rep. of Thailand Egypt, Arab Rep. of USSR Netheriands France Poland Germany, F.
