Wind loading codes and standards - Wind Loading of Structures - page 364

At present, there is no generally used international standard on wind loading, although
shortly the final version of Eurocode 1 will be adopted in most of Europe. At the time of
writing the International Standard, ISO 4354, is being re-drafted. Hopefully then national
and regional standards will gradually be amended to be of similar format. The first
requirement is a common format and notation. For wide international acceptance in
tropical and subtropical as well as temperate climates, the special requirements of regions
affected by typhoons (tropical cyclones or hurricanes) and thunderstorms will need to be
incorporated.
