2 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Food Sector Update – November 2016

November 2016

International Participation

New proposal to establish an ISO TC: Medicinal plants (TS/P 264) A proposal to establish a new ISO technical committee on Medicinal plants has been submitted to ISO by ISIRI (The Islamic Republic of Iran). The scope of this technical committee is as follows: Standardization in the field of medicinal plants as well as medicinal plants propagation materials, in particular terminology, sampling, test methods and analysis, product specifications, safety and quality requirements for packaging, storage and transportation. Medicinal plants substances with regard to safety and quality such as content of active material, values for physical, chemical specifications and microbial contaminants, chemical residues and heavy metals etc., must be based on recognized international standards or deliverables and should be laid down in written form. Excluded from its scope are products covered by ISO/TC 54 Essential oils, ISO/PC 245 Traditional Chinese Medicine and ISO/TC 215 Health Informatics. Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders on this proposal. For more information or to make a submission please contact [email protected] by 06 January 2017.

20 Electrotechnology and Energy Sector Update – November 2016

November 2016


Proposal for a new Systems Committee (SyC) on Low Voltage Direct Current and Low Voltage Direct Current for Electricity Access A proposal for a new Systems Committee (SyC) on Low Voltage Direct Current and Low Voltage Direct Current for Electricity Access has been submitted by Systems Evaluation Group SEG 4 Low Voltage Direct Current Applications, Distribution and Safety for use in Developed and Developing Economies. The scope of this new SyC is to: 1. provide systems level standardization, coordination and guidance in the areas of LVDC and LVDC

for Electricity Access; 2. widely consult within the IEC community and the broader stakeholder community to provide

overall systems level value, support and guidance to the TCs and other standards development groups, both inside and outside the IEC; and

3. bring urgency to development of standards for Electricity Access enabling inclusive development of all communities.

Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders on this proposal. For more information or to make a submission please contact [email protected] by 21 December 2016.

Proposal for a new technical committee on Wearable Electronic Devices and Technologies A proposal for a new technical committee on Wearable Electronic Devices and Technologies has been submitted by Korean National Committee.

An international workshop on using ISO 26000 will be held in March 2017 in Swedish ISO will hold an International Workshop Agreement (IWA) meeting on Using ISO 26000 Guidance on social responsibility in management systems on 9-10 March 2017 at the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS). Ahead of the workshop, two information meetings via WebEx (2016-10-28 and 2016-12-09) as well as a preparatory meeting (2016-11-21) will be organized. A second IWA is also planned in April 2017 and the tentative dates are 27-28 April 2017. This IWA aims to— 1. enable businesses and organizations to benefit from using ISO 26000 guidance on social responsibility in their existing management systems; 2. promote ISO 26000 among management system standards users and promote the use of management systems to users of ISO 26000. For more information please contact [email protected]. [An IWA is an ISO document produced through workshop meeting(s) and not through the technical committee process. Any interested party can propose an IWA and can participate in developing one. An ISO member body will be assigned to organize and run the workshop meeting(s) resulting in the IWA. Market players and other stakeholders directly participate in IWA and do not have to go through a national delegation. An IWA can be produced on any subject.]
