Standard Development Proposal Preparatory Committee Enquiry Approval
Publication Proposal First step is to confirm that an international standard is actually needed. New work items are submitted by technical committees and voted on. If the proposal is accepted by 5 p members the proposal is accepted Preparatory A working group of experts is set up with a project leader, chairman or as some bodies now cal them Thought Leader. The group prepare a working draft which often turns into a number of drafts. When the draft is then submitted to the full committee for acceptance as a committee draft Committee Draft is registered as a committee draft and may be revised several times. Once consensus is obtained the draft is submitted as a Draft International Standard Enquiry The DIS is then circulated to all ISO member bodies by the central secretariat for voting and comment over a 5 month period. If two thirds of members vote positively it can then be approved for submission as a Final Draft International standard. Approval FDIS is circulated to all members ISO within a period of two months for a final yes no vote.if there is a two thirds majority and not more than a 1/4 negative vote it becomes an international standard Publication Minor editorial changes are made and published by ISO central secretariat

Why are standard so important?
World wide progress in trade liberalisation Interpenetration of sectors World wide communication systems global standards for emerging technologies developing countries WW trade liberalisation today's free trade markets are incredibly diverse - fair competition has to be based identifiable, clearly defined common references recognised from one country to the next. Inter P of Sectors No industry can really claim to be completely independent of components, products, rules of application that have been developed in other sectors. WW Coms IT worls is an excellent example of an industry that needs to be standardised at a global level. Open systems Emerging Technologies Standardisation in completely new fields are now being developed fields such as life sciences, environment. In the early stages of new technology development functional prototypes rarely exist standardisation is concerned with developing terminology and how accumalating quantattaive data is managed Developing countries Development agencies are increassingly recognising that a standardisation infrastructure is a basic condition for the success of economic policies aimed at achieving sustainable development.
