IACO

IACO is an acronym that may refer to more than one organization or concept. It does not designate a single universally recognized body. The exact meaning depends on context and language, and different regions may use IACO for different full names that begin with I, A, C, and O.

In practice, IACO is most often found as the initialism of international or national associations, councils, or committees. Common usage includes professional associations in science, technology, or business, and educational or research institutes. When encountered, the full name is typically given on first mention to avoid ambiguity.

Because IACO is easy to confuse with similar abbreviations, care should be taken to verify the exact form; the related and more widely used acronym ICAO stands for the International Civil Aviation Organization, and is not interchangeable with IACO.

To determine what IACO refers to in a given source, check the document for a full name expansion, look for accompanying context such as country or field, or search for the organization's website or registry.
