IIW MEMBER COUNTRIES 2015
The table below is based on information in the IIW 2015Annual Report. It shows the
IIWMember Country in column 1, then in column 2 the country’s status as an IIWmember,
Authorised National Body (ANB) and ANB for Company Certification (ANBCC).
Column 3 gives the name of the Responsible Member Society and then other member
organisation names where applicable, with a slash indicating a name in a different language.
The names of ANB and ANBCC organisations in that country are given after the dash if
they differ from the Member Society name, or if only one of the group of members in that
country provides that service.
