ISO documents have international users who often read in their non-native language. Plain English is easier to read, which results in less misunderstanding and misapplication of instructions. Use Plain English to explain the subject of a document as simply and effectively as possible. ISO House Style has been prepared by ISO Central Secretariat (ISO/CS). It also enables documents to be published more efficiently. Consistency in writing style and tone, and in document look and feel, allows the user to easily recognize an ISO document, to know how to use it and to have confidence in the quality of its contents. ISO documents are used globally and are translated into many languages. ISO aims to deliver high-quality documents when and where the market needs them, both in terms of technical content and ease of use. When drafting ISO documents, the primary reference is the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, which states the general principles and rules to follow to ensure that ISO and IEC documents are clear, precise and unambiguous. It is intended to be used alongside the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 and generally does not duplicate its content, although some relevant sections have been reproduced in order to add further details.
ISO House Style specifies the language, formatting and presentation of ISO documents: editorial elements that are outside the scope of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
