The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees, Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established 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. ISO collaborates closely with the Intemational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization, Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an international Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Intemational Standard ISO 4427 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the transport of fluids, Subcommittee SC 2, Plastics pipes and fittings for water supplies. Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard.
