If I understand well, the IETF decided to create a separate registry,
hosted at IANA, because ISO is not stable enough. (The Internet
requires stable identifiers, something that the ISO bureaucrats cannot
grasp.)
An happy consequence is that the registry is available online (which
is not the case with most ISO standards.)
AFAIK, all ISO codes are in the IANA registry, but not always the
reverse.
