7. Activity Report
7.1 Establishment of Joint Working Group with CEN/TC 138
Aiming at the complete harmonization of ISO 9712 and EN 473, ISO/TC 135 and CEN/TC 138
established ISO/TC 135/WG 3 and CEN/TC 138/AHG 9 to act as the Joint Working Group (JWG).
The first meeting was held in September 2009 at the office of AENOR in Madrid. At the meeting
harmonization plan to resolve the discrepancy between ISO 9712 and EN 473 was deliberated.
The chairman and the secretary of ISO/TC 135 were installed respectively as the convener and thesecretary of ISO/TC 135/WG 3 “Harmonization of personnel certification standards – Study of EN
473: 2008 and ISO 9712: 2005”
Since this is the most significant event of TC 135, the report and the discussion related to ISO/TC
135/WG 3 activity are given by the convener of WG 3, separately from TC 135 secretariat report.
From the next 7.2 and after, the events are described in chronological order.

7.2 ISO Committee Chairs’ Conference in Geneva
The chairman and the secretary of ISO/TC 135 attended ISO Committee Chairs’ Conference heldin June 2008 in Geneva. In the session of group discussion the chairman introduced the attendants
that, in connection with the harmonization between EN 473 and ISO 9712, European countries
have a sense of unfairness that ISO standards can be tailored to the circumstance of a country inaccordance with ISO/IEC Guide 21, whereas the modification of CEN standards are prohibited.
Mr. Ziethen (DIN); the session chairman, responded to this and asked Prof. Hatano for the detailed
situation as EN is not necessarily a mandatory standard.
At the conference TC 135 chairman and secretary met Mr. Guerreiro; the secretary of TC 135/SC 9
at the time and participated in the Conference as TC 34 secretary, and consulted with him on the
SC 9 meeting, which was once planned to be held in Shanghai, but cancelled.

7.3 Discussion on Harmonization of Certification Standards with CEN/TC 138 in Paris
ISO/TC 135 chairman and secretary visited AFNOR office in Paris in June 2008, and had a talk with
Mr. Kozlowski; CEN/TC 138 chairman, and Mr. Tanguy; CEN/TC 138 secretary at the time, about
the harmonization of EN 473 and ISO 9712, in general.
We also exchanged opinions about the revised contents of EN 473. In EN 473 revised in 2008, theminimum training hours were increased considerably compared with its previous edition and ISO
9712. The chairman Hatano expressed the concern that it was possible for main countries
participating in CEN to deal with it, but in ISO, which was composed of various countries in different
circumstances, these countries were affected greatly by the rapid and big change in training hours,
and added that the members of not only ISO/TC 135 but also ICNDT were perplexed.
Mr. Kozlowski explained that the training hours defined in EN 473 was revised in accordance with
common technical report “CEN ISO/TR 25107: Guidelines for NDT training syllabuses”, which was
prepared by ISO in collaboration with CEN, and that the training hours in EN was a minimum
requirement for the practice of the level requested by CEN. Prof. Hatano refuted the explanation
pointing out that it is considered inappropriate to adopt the contents of Technical Report into CEN
standards, because the Technical Report has the binding force weaker than that of ISO standards,
and adoption of TR into standard will result to give TR the same binding force of ISO standards. He
also introduced the case of Japan, where Japan casted an affirmative vote in the balloting of CEN
ISO/TR 25107 because that the balloting was on TR with weak binding force, but not on the ISO
standard with binding force, and added that not a few member bodies might agree for the same
reason.

7.4 CEN/TC 138 meeting in Paris
ISO/TC 135 chairman attended the CEN/TC 138 meeting held in October 2008, as therepresentative of ISO/TC 135 in accordance with Vienna Agreement. He reported the activities of
ISO/TC 135 and consulted with CEN participants in the meeting about the harmonization of EN 473
and ISO 9712, of which preparatory discussion was made at AFNOR in June.
Concerning the establishment of JWG, he explained that ISO/TC 135 would consult with ISO
members at the opportunities of ISO/TC 135/SC 8 and SC 7/WG 7 meetings in Shanghai in
October 2008 and make the decision of TC 135. Mr. Kozlowski agreed it.

7.10 Background of TC 135 Moscow meetings
The 17th ISO/TC 135 plenary and associated meetings were originally planned to be held
concurrently with the 10th ECNDT. However, in the last autumn when ECNDT program and thevenue of its conference were fixed, we realized that information about a series of SC meetings to beheld with the TC 135 plenary has not been conveyed to ECNDT. It is unable to hold only TC 135
plenary meeting without associated SC meetings. But TC 135 could hold its plenary and its
associated SC meetings one week prior to 10th ECNDT conference at the Hotel Belgrad bycourtesy of the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology. As the result, the second
JWG was changed to be held on September 14, 2010 in Vienna. Concerning that TC 135 could
hold the related meetings, ISO/TC 135 deeply appreciates the Federal Agency on TechnicalRegulating and Metrology. To avoid the recurrence of this kind of problem, TC 135 chairman
decided to handle the communication with the host and adjustment the meeting since last autumn.
We, the secretariat of ISO/TC 135, would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Elkin; theHead of the Federal Agency, and Mr. Krutikov; the Deputy Head, and Prof. Klyuev; the President of
10th ECNDT, for their kind invitation. Our deepest thanks are extended to Ms. Morozova, Dr.
Muravskaya, Dr. Pushkina, and their colleagues for every arrangement for the Moscow meetings.

8. ISOTC Server/ISO Global Directory
In the previous plenary meeting in Buenos Aires, it was recommended to use ISOTC Server and
ISO Global Directory to expedite standardization activity.
Responding to the recommendation, most TC 135 member bodies registered their personnel incharge of communication with ISO server.
However, there are several countries remaining unable to view the information posted to ISO server
because that none is registered to ISO GD. These countries are recommended to register the-5-appropriate person and notify TC 135 secretariat of the email address.
The current status of the use of ISOTC Server by the member bodies is as below.
