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 non-governmental, in liaison with isO, also take part in the work. isO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards.Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval byatleast 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. IsO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO16537 includes the original EN 12090 prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88"Thermal insulating materials and products", with the following clauses modified to reflect the conditions for tropical countries: Clause 6.4: Conditioning of test specimens; Clause 7.1: Test conditions; and Clause 10: Test report. @ ISO 2012 -All rights reserved ationalOrganizationfor Standardizatio Not for Resale ISO 16537:2012(E) Introduction ISO 16537 is one of a series of existing European Standards on test methods which were adopted by ISO.
