5. French standardization
National standards can be developed in one of three ways.
5.1 International sector
Any ISO standard can be included in the catalog of French standards, and is then indexed NF ISO XXXX. The same standard adopted by the German member will be called DIN ISO XXXX (it is often in English and sometimes translated into German). This adoption of the international standard in French is entirely optional, and depends on both the content of the standard and the profession concerned. Insofar as ISO standards are adopted by CEN, this international channel loses its importance.
