ISO standards are market-driven. They are developed by international
consensus among experts drawn from the industrial, technical or business sectors
which have expressed the need for a particular standard. These may be joined by
experts from government, regulatory authorities, testing bodies, academia,
consumer groups or other organizations with relevant knowledge, or which have
expressed a direct interest in the standard under development. Although ISO 9000
standards are voluntary, the fact that they are developed in response to market
demand, and are based on consensus among the interested parties, ensures
widespread use of the standards.
