To me ISO is a rating used in photography and is defined as follows: - the numerical exposure index of a photographic film under the system adopted by the International Standardization Organization, used to indicate the light sensitivity of the film's emulsion. Hugs n roses, M

Some tend to use a lot of abbreviations on here. I guess depending upon your generation you may or may not know the meaning. I am tring to keep up with them also.

I didn't know either...I copied from Tech Terms.
Stands for "International Organization for Standardization." Yes, technically the acronym should be "IOFS," but I guess ISO sounds better. The ISO works with standards institutes from over 150 countries to develop technology and product standards. These standards lead to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner development of products. It also leads to more standardized products for consumers.

The ISO is important to the computer industry, since the organization standardizes many of the technologies used by your computer hardware and software. For example, the ISO 9660 standard defines a file system used by CD-ROM media. CDs formatted using this standard can be used on any operating system that supports the ISO 9660 standard, including Windows, Mac, and Unix systems.

ISO also means "Is Seeking Only", very much the same as ddoersch's meaning.

Never worry that you might appear dumb, the people that don't ask questions are dumb, the ones that ask are smart because we want to learn...*4U minicow

In the embroidery world it means "in search of". Many other meanings elsewhere.

My Dad always said there is no such thing as a dumb question. But there are dumb people because they won't ask questions.
