They are both feasible and being developed now.” Bryden also spoke about ISO’s development of standards relating to greenhouse gases, which will regulate the emerging trade of emission rights. Other illustrations of ISO’s contribution to a sustainable world that the ISO Secretary-General discussed included the development of a management system standard for food safety (ISO 22000) and a number of work items related to water services, energy, quality management, environmental management, information technology and medical devices.
