Description
The committee stage is the principal stage at which comments from national bodies are taken into consideration, with a view to reaching consensus on the technical content.
National bodies shall therefore carefully study the texts of committee drafts and submit all pertinent comments at this stage.
As soon as a first committee draft is available, it is registered by the ISO Central Secretariat. It is distributed for comment and, if required, voting, by the P-members of the TC/SC. Successive committee drafts may be considered until consensus is reached on the technical content. Once consensus has been attained, the text is finalized for submission as a draft International Standard (DIS).
