GOOD TO KNOW:
When constituting a Committee, Standards Australia invites participation from a balanced group of interested stakeholder organisations like Regulatory and Controlling Bodies, User and Purchasing Bodies, Government Organisations Manufacturers Associations, Research and Academic Organisations, so that there is a robust technical committee working on the development of that standard. From time to time, WSU will be invited to participate in committees that has some relevance to the standard that is being developed at that time.
Further information on Nominating Organisations and Primary Contacts can be found on Standards Australia’s website and the attached Nominating Organisation Guide.
