Benefits of standards Contributed to about 13 per cent of the growth in labour productivity in the UK over 1948-2002, and contribute 2.5 billion annually to the UK economy. Reduce barriers to trade. Improve the operation of markets through the smooth flow of goods and services. Enable compliance to be demonstrated. Provide confidence in product performance. Enable technology to be transferred from one sector to another. Can have environmental as well as economic advantages. Slide 2
ISO Standards Produced by Technical Committees (TCs) and their Subcommittees (SCs) Voting members are national bodies (e.g. BSI, DIN) Drafted by Working Groups (WGs) Members are individual experts WD National Standards Body (e.g. BSI) DIS CD New Work Item Proposal (needs 5 countries nominating experts) Working Group (produces working drafts) Committee Draft (CD) FDIS SC (or TC) produces Draft International Standard (DIS) and Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) (or probably WG does) Slide 3

Why should I take part? All parts of industry (users, researchers, manufacturers, etc.) are required (start at national level). Avoidance of both inaccuracy through inadequate specification and excessive cost through overspecification is vital. Accuracy in taxation is of great importance to Government. Participation in standards-making is an opportunity not only to share knowledge but also to gain it. Slide 16
