Get involved with standards

Get involved in standards that make people’s lives better and help organizations thrive. Standards affect all of us every day – wherever we go, whatever we do. By defining good practice, they help people, business and the economy.

Different ways to get involved

1. Suggest an idea for a new standard
2. View and comment on proposals for new standards
3. View and comment on draft standards
4. Become a member of the technical committee

More information about draft standards is available on our standards development page

Who develops them?

Standards and standardization documents are developed by experts, participating in the work of technical committees,

What kinds of people get involved?

We welcome all applications; you only need to have relevant knowledge and experience, or to represent relevant group of stakeholders. The goal is to have a balance of views around the table.

So member of the technical committee might be:

• Individual experts of all ages and backgrounds
• Seasoned professionals or industry innovators
• Nominated representatives of government, professional bodies and academia
• Representatives of charities and public interest groups
