ISO/IEC JTC 1 is Joint Technical Committee 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its purpose as a technical committee is to develop, maintain,promote, and facilitate standards in the fields of information technology (IT) and Information and Communications
Technology (ICT).
History
ISO/IEC JTC 1 was formed in 1987 as a merger between ISO/TC 97 (Information Technology) and IEC/TC 83, with
IEC/SC 47B joining later. The intent was to bring together, in a single committee, the IT standardization activities of
the two parent organizations in order to avoid duplicative or possibly incompatible standards. At the time of its
formation, the mandate of JTC 1 was to develop base standards in information technology upon which other
technical committees could build. This would allow for the development of domain and application specific
standards that could be applicable to specific business domains, while also ensuring the interoperation and function
of the standards on a consistent base.
In its first 15 years, JTC 1 brought about many standards in the information technology sector, including standards in
the fields of multimedia (such as MPEG), IC cards (or smart cards), ICT security, programming languages, and
character sets (such as the Universal Character Set). In the early 2000s, the organization expanded its standards
development into fields such as security and authentication, bandwidth/connection management, storage and data
management, software and systems engineering, service protocols, portable computing devices, and certain societal
aspects such as data protection and cultural and linguistic adaptability.
For more than 25 years, JTC 1 has provided a standards development environment where experts come together to
develop worldwide Information and Communication Technology (ICT) standards for business and consumerapplications. JTC 1 is also addressing such critical areas as teleconferences and e-meetings, cloud data management
interface, biometrics in identity management, sensor networks for smart grid systems, and corporate governance of
ICT implementation. As technologies converge, JTC 1 acts as a system integrator, especially in areas of
standardization in which many consortia and forums are active. JTC 1 provides the standards approval environment
for integrating diverse and complex ICT technologies. These standards rely upon the core infrastructure technologies
developed by JTC 1 centers of expertise complemented by specifications developed in other organizations. There are
over 2600 published JTC 1 standards developed by some 2100 technical experts from around the world, many of
which are freely available for download.

JTC 1 PAS process
JTC 1 has a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) process, making the approval process for standards much easier
and more efficient. This process allows ICT consortia to fast process their Publicly Available Specifications (PASs)
into ISO/IEC approved standards within 9 months. Consortia, such as OASIS, Trusted Computing Group (TCG),
The Open Group, Object Management Group (OMG), W3C, UPnP Forum, Distributed Management Task Force
(DMTF), SNIA and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) use this process to quickly transpose their specifications
into ISO/IEC standards.
Scope and mission
The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1 is International standardization in the field of Information Technology. Its official
mandate is to develop, maintain, promote and facilitate IT standards required by global markets meeting business
and user requirements concerning:
The design and development of IT systems and tools
The performance and quality of IT products and systems
The security of IT systems and information The portability of application programs
The interoperability of IT products and systems
The unified tools and environments
The harmonized IT vocabulary
The user-friendly and ergonomically-designed user interfaces
Guiding principles
JTC 1 has a number of principles that guide standards development within the organization, which include:
Standards development conducted with full attention to a strong business-like approach (e.g., cost effective, shortdevelopment times, market-oriented results)
Providing a wide range of quality products and services, within the JTC 1 scope and mission, to cover identified
global needs
Promoting the use of its products and services and the timely implementation of JTC 1 standards within the form
of useful products on a worldwide basis
Ensuring that its user needs, including multicultural requirements, are fully met, such that its products and
services promote international trade
Recognizing the value of the work of other organizations and the contribution they make to international IT
standardization and complementing existing and forthcoming JTC 1 programs through other leading edge activity
with the objective of providing the best standards worldwide Providing a standards development environment which attracts technical experts and users having identified
standardization needs
Members
Membership in JTC 1 is open to any national body, as is the case for membership in either of the two parent
organizations. A member can be either participating (P) or observing (O), with the difference mainly being the
ability to vote on proposed standards. There are a number of countries that are active participants of JTC 1, as well as
a number of observing countries. The secretariat of JTC 1 is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI),
located in the United States.
Other organizations can participate as Liaison Members, some of which are internal to ISO/IEC and some of which
are external. The external organizations that are in liaison with JTC 1 are:

Each subcommittee can have subgroups created for specific purposes:
Study Groups (SG) are chartered to investigate the need and feasibility of additional standardization and/or
guidance in a technical area. The main objective of a Study Group is to understand the current activities in a
particular area and make recommendations to JTC 1 or a specific subcommittee.

ISO/IEC JTC 1 4
Working Groups (WG) are established to expedite development of one or more approved work items, and will
exist as long as it has responsibility for approved work items.
Other Working Groups (OWG) undertake specific tasks between the meetings of a subcommittee. These tasks
are defined in the terms of reference of the OWG.
Subcommittees can be created to deal with new situations (SC 37 was established in 2002; SC 38 in 2009 and SC 39
in 2012) or disbanded if the area of work is no longer relevant. There is no requirement for any member body tomaintain status on any or all of the subcommittees.
