This paper is a four-year update (i.e. 2011 - 2015) about the progress and activities of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Technical Committee 85 (TC85) on Nuclear energy, Subcommittee 5 (SC5) on Nuclear fuel cycle, Working Group 8 (WG8) on Nuclear criticality safety. The update provides a brief summary of historic standards developed by ISO TC85/SC5/WG8 and descriptions about evolving standards for nuclear criticality safety. The update describes the potential value and relevance of indigenous standards and technological developments by OECD regarding nuclear criticality safety standards. Elements of the published WG8 ISO standards that have been incorporated into International Atomic Energy Agency non-consensus guides and standards are provided. A review of international participation and needed participation is also addressed along with the benefits to ISO participating member countries. (authors)
