The letters mean 

 International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

both have formed a

 Joint Technical Commitee No. 1 (JTC)  (responsible for information precessing)

which has a

 SubCommitee 22 (SC) for programming languages

and there a

 Working Group No. 21 (WG)

is doing the work (e.g. on C++).

The members of these commitees are members of the national standard
bodies (e.g. ANSI in the US of A, DIN in Germany, BSI in GB, ...)
