Anonymous 23 Sep 2010. though i have not taken prednisone, i know someone who did for approx. 6 mo. and had a lot of weight gain. when i read up on it, i found that it was not a drug one should take for a long period of time due to its possible side effects.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental membership organization and the world's largest developer of voluntary International Standards.
The World Bank classifies NGOs as either operational NGOs, which are primarily concerned with development projects, or advocacy NGOs, which are primarily concerned with promoting a cause. The International Standards Organization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization. As such, its standards are voluntary, but many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structures of their countries, and ISO standards have found their way into many laws.
