It's actually $20,000 if you're beyond the small company threshold.
That's pretty steep, agreed.  But even that is dwarfed by
travel-related costs (involvement in actual editing decisions at ISO
require physical presence, so the largest travel budget wins).

On the other hand, the ISO model still loses financially when you
actually need a couple of standards.  Membership in national
standardization bodies typically gives you a cheap site license, but
you still have to buy one copy of each standard you're interested in.
