El Instituto Colombiano de Normas Tcnicas y Certificacin, ICONTEC, es el organismo

nacional de normalizacin, segn el Decreto 2269 de 1993.

ICONTEC es una entidad de carcter privado, sin nimo de lucro, cuya Misin es fundamental
para brindar soporte y desarrollo al productor y proteccin al consumidor. Colabora con el
sector gubernamental y apoya al sector privado del pas, para lograr ventajas competitivas en
los mercados interno y externo.

La representacin de todos los sectores involucrados en el proceso de Normalizacin Tcnica

est garantizada por los Comits Tcnicos y el perodo de Consulta Pblica, este ltimo
caracterizado por la participacin del pblico en general.

La GTC 229 fue ratificada por el Consejo Directivo de 2012-07-18

Esta gua est sujeta a ser actualizada permanentemente con el objeto de que responda en
todo momento a las necesidades y exigencias actuales.

A continuacin se relacionan las empresas que colaboraron en el estudio de esta gua a travs
