ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. "Procedures for the technical work". Eight Edition 2011.

Description

At the approval stage, the final draft International Standard (FDIS) shall be distributed by the office of the CEO within 3 months to all national bodies for a 2 month vote.

The final draft International Standard (FDIS) is circulated to all ISO member bodies by the ISO Central Secretariat for a final Yes/No vote within a period of two months. If technical comments are received during this period, they are no longer considered at this stage, but registered for consideration during a future revision of the International Standard. The text is approved as an International Standard if a two-thirds majority of the P-members of the TC/SC is in favour and not more than one-quarter of the total number of votes cast are negative. If these approval criteria are not met, the standard is referred back to the originating TC/SC for reconsideration in light of the technical reasons submitted in support of the negative votes received.
