International Participation

Proposal for a New Field of Technical Activity: Packaging Machinery ISO has received an official proposal from the Italian Organization for Standardization (UNI) to establish a new ISO technical committee on Packaging Machinery. The scope of the proposal is the following: Standardization of packaging machines with reference to the aspects of terminology, classification, design and safety. The scope of the ISO technical committee will be broad enough to cover the machines used to package products. These machines perform packaging functions for primary, secondary, and tertiary (transport/distribution) packaging. Associated equipment are included. There are no similar standards nor specific standardization activities currently available in ISO on the proposed subject. UNI is adamant that the proposed activity be based on the requirements given in the horizontal standards developed by ISO TC 199 on safety of machinery. Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders for this proposal. For more information or to make a submission please contact Rick Macourt, Sector Engagement Manager, [email protected] by Friday 22 September, 2017.

A New Field of Technical Activity – Ageing Societies. ISO has received a New Field of Technical Activity (NFTA) proposal from the British Standards Institute (BSI) to form a new technical committee: Ageing Societies. The scope of the activity is – Standardization in the field of ageing societies. The program of work will promote lifelong support and quality of life in ageing populations. This will enable people to remain independent throughout their life with a sense of value and contribution to their communities. It will take a holistic approach in addressing services and products that will help manage the advancement of ageing societies. It will take note of where innovation and technology require standards to support this demographic. The Technical Committee will establish a Strategic Business Plan Task Group to consider the report prepared for the TMB by the ISO Strategic Advisory Group on Ageing Societies (SAG A), as a basis for their work program. Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders on this proposal. For more information or to make a submission, please contact the Stakeholder Engagement Manager, Brett Lovett at [email protected].
