ANSI Seeks Comments on ISO Traffic Safety Management Proposal SIS, the Swedish Standards Institute, has submitted a proposal (available at http://plasa.me/iy1ns) to the International Organization for Standardization to convert ISO Project Committee 241, Road Traffic Safety Management System, into a new ISO technical committee with an expanded scope and work program. As the U.S. member body to ISO, the American National Standards Institute invites all interested U.S. stakeholders to submit comments on this proposal by Friday 13 April 2012.
According to the proposal, the ISO technical committee would focus on standardization in the field of road traffic safety (RTS) management standards, with the following areas to be developed: • a requirement standard for road traffic safety • RTS specific auditing requirements in third-party certification; and • implementation and guidance documents. The first of these activities, ISO 39001, Road traffic safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use, is already underway and is expected to be released by ISO PC 241 by the end of 2012.
All comments on the proposal should be sent to Steven P. Cornish, ANSI senior director for international policy ([email protected]). It should be noted that there is no U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO PC 241 at this time.
