4. #1 ETSI and EY: creation of the work item for HEN
NWI proposed (normally by TG) for Harmonised standards
NWI approved by TB
ETSI Secretariat sends NWI approved by TB to EY for confirmation that the WI is within the scope of the mandate.
EY interacts with EC to confirm WIs are under the M/536
Once confirmed by EY, NWI is flagged under the M/536

5. #2 ETSI and EY: first assessment (mature draft) before TB approval
Stakeholders define when the draft HEN reaches level of maturity to be assessed by EY. There is no definition of mature draft.
It is imperative to complete the HEN checklist in document OCGREDEMCD(18) before sending request to EY.
IMPORTANT !: NO TB APPROVAL without assessment (see [1])
ETSI introduced status 5V and 5Vr. The assessment can take up to 35 days.
5V – ETSI Secretariat communicates to EY request for assessment before TB approval
Example is given in document ERM(18)65b042
5Vr – ETSI Secretariat communicates to TB (TG) comments from the EY consultant
Example is given in document ERM(18)65b042a1

6. #2 ETSI and EY: Assessment results vs. ETSI TB action
3 possible results from EY
Compliant
no ‘critical findings’ are reported, and assuming that possible ‘other findings’ reported are sufficiently settled in the final text
Partial compliance
need for minor or limited number of changes to the document or only to its ‘Annex A’ are reported
Lack of compliance
need for substantial changes to the document are reported
ETSI TB action
No action needed
TB may consider changes
TB accepts changes through resolution meeting
TB reject changes (TB Decision), EC to decide listing
TB Resolution meeting
NOTE: TB can request EY consultants to attend resolutions meetings. In this case ETSI Secretariat and TB chairman shall complete a special form and send it to EY.

7. #2 ETSI and EY: Assessment results vs. EC's later publication decisions
EC does not have to follow the recommendations of the Consultant, but if they do: “Compliant” recommends that it is suitable for listing “Partial Compliance” recommends that it is suitable for listing with a notice “Lack of compliance” recommends that it is not suitable for listing ETSI can challenge the assessment report (but would need grounds to do so, and would need to supply evidence)

8. #3 ETSI and EY: Assessment after TB approval
