USB standard?

Hi Folks

Can anyone tell me if USB is standardised with IEEE or ISO?
I know the USB-IF and industry leaders actually come up with specification these days and also control vendors etc, but a lot of other systems that are developed like this are also international standards (eg firewire = IEEE 1394), though I cannot find any mention of one for USB on Googles and wondered if there isnt one is one planned?

Thanks

I think the engineering expertise and market clout of the companies behind USB was such that they considered approval from a standards body was unnecessary, perhaps even a hindrance to development.
