The International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO) provides an international forum for the wool industry to establish standard specifications for the testing and specification of greasy wool, scoured wool, wool top, yarn and fabrics. In addition to this very important role, IWTO also provides a forum for establishing Commercial Regulations for the application of the Test Specifications and Arbitration Agreements to facilitate the resolution of disputes between trading partners.

Representation at IWTO is provided by National Committees, appointed by the wool industry in the member nations. However, while voting is restricted to National Committee members, individuals can attend IWTO Conferences and contribute to the development of specifications, regulations etc.

Wool growers are represented at IWTO by a delegate nominated by WoolProducers.
