ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 36 was formed by ISO/IEC JTC 1 at the 1999-11 JTC 1 Plenary held in Seoul, Korea.  The first SC 36 plenary meeting was held 2000-03 in London, United Kingdom.  Since then, SC 36 has held twenty two plenary meetings in over thirteen countries.  Over the years, National Body membership in SC 36 has increase to its current level of forty one, twenty three P members and eighteen O members.  Additionally, the number of Liaison Organizations collaborating with SC 36 has grown to twenty five.

Since its inception, SC 36 has successfully adapted to create standards for growing and changing markets by adopting and adhering to the essential principles of global openness, transparency, consensus, and technical coherence. In SC 36, these principles are implemented through development of International Standards representative of all interested National Member Bodies, and Liaison Organizations, by utilizing proven and “value added” processes.  These principles also have enabled the production of global and market relevant standards and technical reports, which are recognized and implemented by global users to 1) Facilitate global trade, 2) Improve quality, security, and consumer protection, and 3) Global dissemination of technologies and good practices, all of which contribute to economic and social progress.
