Dennis Goodwin is also a member of the committee. The Standard was developed in response to a perceived need for practical assistance in applying risk management in public sector and private sector organisations. It has since become one of the most popular Standards in publication, and a range of supporting handbooks has been prepared. At least part of the focus on the importance of risk management and the drive for a Standard was stimulated by the release of the NSW Government Risk Management Guidelines in 1993 [6] and their designation as NSW Government policy for all capital works expenditure above $5 million. Dr Cooper made substantial contributions to the NSW Guidelines, whose structure is very similar to that of the Standard. The approach of the Standard has since been adopted by the Australian Government [2, 3, 4], a range of large public companies [1 , for example] and the UK National Health Service.

Under this program, third-party performance testing of environmental technology is conducted by independent verification organizations under strict EPA quality assurance guidelines. Southern Research Institute (SRI) is one of six independent verification organizations operating under ETV, and operates the Greenhouse Gas Technology Center (GHG Center). With full participation from technology providers, purchasers, and other stakeholders, the GHG Center develops testing protocols and conducts technology performance evaluation in field and laboratory settings. The testing protocols are developed and peer­ reviewed with input from a broad group of industry, research, government, and other stakeholders. After their development, the protocols are field-tested, often improved, and then made available to interested users via Verification Guidelines such as this.

  • 24 Standards and Standards Organizations
    #24 Standards and Standards Organizations What are standards? Standards are documented agreements containing technical specifications or other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics, to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose. Therefore, International standards contribute to the reliability and effectiveness of the goods and services we use. ISO, International Organization for Standardization (The most widely recognized standards organization) ISO is a non-governmental organization established in 1947. The mission of ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO is comprised of three types of membership. 1. Member Body A specific national body most representative of standardization in its country. 2. Correspondent Member An organization in a country which does not yet have a fully developed national standards activity. 3. Subscriber Member In particular, countries with very small economies. The “Member Body” of ISO is comprised of over 95 countries that have established standard organizations. The Member Bodies along with the Correspondent Members and Subscriber Members all contribute to the work and development of a standard. Thus, ISO’s work results in international agreements, which are published as International Standards. Examples of Member Bodies are; from the United States the American National Standards Institute ANSI, from Canada the Standards Counsel of Canada SCC, from Italy the Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione UNI, from the United Kingdom the British Standards Institution BSI and from Germany the Deutsches Institut fur Normung DIN.

  • THE NEW ISO RISK MANAGEMENT STANDARD Grant Purdy
    Society for Risk Analysis Wellington Meeting, 2009 RAISING THE STANDARD – THE NEW ISO RISK MANAGEMENT STANDARD Grant Purdy Associate Director, Broadleaf Capital International Chair, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Risk Management Committee, OB7 Nominated Expert, ISO Technical Management Board Risk Management Working Group 1 The New Standard It is 14 years since the first version of the Australian and New Zealand Risk Management Standards, AS/NZS 4360:1995, was published. It is now be replaced by a new international standard that in Australia will be called AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 and will be published on 27th October. AS/NZS 4360:2004 has been adopted throughout the world. Its widespread acceptance and the respect it has earned over the years are the main reasons that it was used as the first draft of the new ISO standard. The definition of risk in the new Standard is: the effect of uncertainty on objectives. The change in definition shifts the emphasis from, in AS/NZS 4360, ‘the event’ (something happens) to ‘the effect’ and, in particular, the effect on objectives. By way of illustration, risk isn’t the chance of the share market crashing but the chance that a crash will disrupt or affect you or your organisation’s objectives by, for example, limiting capital for expansion. Both the old and new definitions clearly place risk in the context of what an organisation wishes to achieve: its objectives. Risk arises because those objectives are pursued against an uncertain background. An organisation may set its objectives, but to achieve them it often has to contend with internal and external factors and influences it may not control and which generate uncertainty and thus risk.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ICT STANDARDS IN INDIA Abstract The 2010 “Policy on Open Standards for e-Governance” launched India into the global debate over the definition of open standards. However, the story of standards in India is richer and broader than only the e-Governance policy. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a standards development organization (SDO), which came into existence through an Act of the Indian parliament. Another important government SDO functioning, in the telecommunications domain, is the telecommunication engineering center (TEC), which was formed under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in India. In addition, there has been an increased effort tin setting up public-private partnership organizations for formulating standards focused on information and communications (ICT) standardization. Further, the Indian government has made important contributions on the topic of technical standards in connection with the World Trade Organization’s Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT).
