I have many references of week numbering in the year including the calander in the cell phone which points to week # 20 for today. However a korean dairy points it to week #21.
What is the guideline for fixing the week # 1 of a year and how many styles of week numbering are followed. Internationally which is the most widely accepted and used ?

The international standard for representing date, time etc. is ISO 8601. More detail is available here

ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the exchange of date and time-related data. The standard is titled "Data elements and interchange formats — Information interchange — Representation of dates and times" and was issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The purpose of this International Standard is to eliminate the risk of misinterpretation where numeric representation of dates and times are interchanged across national boundaries, and to avoid the confusion and other consequential errors or losses.
