"Although ISO is a non-governmental organization, it possesses a unique position between the public and private sectors. The reason is that, on the one hand, many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their States or are mandated by their government. Yet on the other hand, other members have their basis solely in the private sector, having been set up by national partnerships of industry associations. Therefore, ISO is able to act as a liaison organization in which a consensus can be reached on solutions that meet both the demands of business and the wide-spread requirements of society, such as the needs of highly interested groups like consumers. In fact the international standards which ISO develops are of advantage to industrial and business enterprises of various kinds, to governments and other regulatory bodies, to trade officials, to conformity assessment professionals, to suppliers and customers of goods and services in both public and private sectors and, ultimately, to people in general as consumers and end users." .
