How did C become standardized?

Since C was developed as a general-purpose language and does not belong to the private company as a whole, can the standardization process be explained?

I mean, how did this standardization process come about?

There is a whole page devoted to information on standard committee C , as well as JTC1 / SC22 / WG14.

In fact, JTC1 is a group of IT standards, and SC22 is a subcommittee for standardization of programming languages, and WG14 is a subcommittee for standard C.

In addition, the history of the C programming language section on Wikipedia is very informative.

[update] Here is the most complete C story I can find in Bell Labs .
