ISO/IEC JTC1 SC18 WG9 User System Interfaces and Symbols
Joint Technical Committee (JTC1) deals with standards in the field of information technology.
Sub committee 18 (SC18) is responsible for standards for Document Processing and Related Communication.
Working Group 9 is developing standards in keyboard layout, symbols and user interfaces which have relevance beyond the strict domain of document processing.
It has sub-groups working on Keyboard Layout, User Interfaces and Symbols.
ISO/IEC 9995 is a multi-part standard dealing with keyboard layout which replaces a number of existing standards (see Table h621-3). It includes a keyboard layout for multiple Latin alphabet languages and a layout for letters used on a numeric keyboard. It should be noted that WG9 deals with the layout of keyboards, not with the key operation or other ergonomic features which are the responsibility of WG3 of TC 159 SC4.
