On the one hand, many more countries use ISO than JIS, but on the other hand, the B series (JIS) is common in Japan, and I am not sure it is elsewhere. I had at least never heard of it in France. Not in Switzerland either. We always used to think about the B series as a series for envelopes, not paper. Regards, Martin.
