scope:

This International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in preparing, maintaining and publishing a register of identifiers and meanings for standards under the direction of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24.

NOTE These procedures may be used to extend any standard developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24. Some registration items are graphical in nature; other registration items define data structures used by the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 standards. All registered items are intended for reuse within other adjunct standards.

Registration procedures do not assign values of identifiers that are defined as being workstation-dependent by specific graphics standards. The register of font appearance in the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 register for graphical items is not intended to address the broader issues of general-purpose font registration. The procedures apply to registration of individual items within classes as reserved for registration in the International Standards developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24.
