Purpose and justification of the proposal.

This Standard presents guidelines intended for individuals or organizations interested to in helping, on the national level oron the branchsector level, for promotinge the assimilation of management Standards in organizations.
This standard is intended to contribute to the adoption of management standards and their inculcation in practice by a wide
range of organizations and entities. Dissemination and application of standards is not always as effective as such standards
warrant, often being subject to individual initiatives by Quality and other personnel rather than being perceived ascontributing in the long term to realizing organizational goals and objectives.
By providing guidelines spanning a broad spectrum of approaches and pathways, this standard should expand the range ofawareness and benefits to be achieved by familiarization with standards in general and their incorporation in organizational
conduct in particular.
Examples of values and benefits are as follows:- efficiency;- effectiveness;- quality;- economic contribution to profitability ;- marketing advantage;- serviceability (improvement of service to internal and external clients of the organization, customer preservation);- creation of an image, positioning, reputation;- accuracy;- fairness;- survival;- sustainability;- meeting legal requirements and other requirements;- transparency;- collaboration with stakeholders;- safety and health improvement;- enhancing resilience and security;- corporative responsibility;- excellence;- innovation;- globality (compatibility with the global alignment);- protection of private and civil rights;- promotion of private and community welfare;- technological and scientific benefit;- social and cultural benefit to the community or to the general society.
The guidelines in this standard deal with the preparation prior to planning the program for promoting assimilation ofmanagement Standards in organizations, to the planning of a master plan (action plan) for promoting their assimilation, tothe planning of specific activities for promoting assimilation and for measuring and evaluating the success of theassimilation promoting activities.
The guidelines also deal with the manner of planning and implementation of specific programs for promoting assimilation,according to the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) method that conforms to application processes of actions.
The guidelines in this standard should assist organizations and bodies such as the following:A) Standardization and certification institutes interested in promoting assimilation of management Standards or manuals
for management Standards;
B) Regulators that have an interest in promoting assimilation of management Standards;
C) Professional associations that want to promote assimilation of management Standards suitable for their purposes;
D) National or public bodies and "third sector" organizations interested in encouraging organizations to assimilatemanagement Standards;
E) Funds offering assistance and budgets for activities related to the assimilation of management Standards;
F) Consultants and professionals involved in Standards assimilation processes in other branches and sectors of theeconomy - in Israel and around the world.
The recommended principles for actions for promoting assimilation of management Standards are given below:A) The promotion of assimilation of Standards for the good of the organizations, the community and the society at-large;B) Open and appropriate transparency and activity;C) Consideration of stakeholders' interests;
D) Basing activities on experts, persons in the profession, representative associations and relevant organizations, andcollaborating with them as much as possible;E) Commitment to meet legal and other requirements, if relevant;F) Conformance to existing frameworks and actions;G) Use of accepted management principles for creating awareness to the existence of management Standards, theirimplementation and promotion of their assimilation in organizations;H) Advance planning of actions for assimilation of Standards with constant tracking of their success.

To:ISO TMB Secretary, Mrs. Sophie Clivio(clivio@iso.org)

Dear Mrs. Clivio,
Initiative for a new field of activity: Assimilation of Management Standards
UAs part of the Israeli committee for Quality standards, The Israel National
Standard SII 40000 – Guidelines for Promoting the Assimilation ofManagement Standards was published in 2011.
SII 40000 is yet another vital tool in the efforts we have been putting into
assimilating management standards in Israel, as an organized process
inseparable from the standardization work.
We find great importance in turning this standard into an international
standard and view it as an important tool for passing on our approach that
assimilation of standards is part and parcel of the standardization process.
Enclosed is the English translation of the standard, including the NWIP
document with justifications according to ISO Guide 72.
Since the issue at hand is assimilation, we would like to consult with you
regarding the most appropriate way for submitting our proposal:
Should we establish a new PC, since the process outlined in this standard can,with mild modifications, serve as an infrastructure for the preparation of otherassimilation standards in a wide array of fields, or alternately should wesubmit the proposal to the management standards committee ISO TC 176?

Your guidance will be much appreciated,

Helen AtarotDirector, Standardization Division
The standards Institution of Israel
