International Standards provide a common language for the technical world, supporting global trade. The development and use of International Standards is recommended by the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a means of preventing technical barriers to trade due to national standards.
DIN represents German interests within ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. Today, roughly 85 % of all national standards projects are European or international in origin.
