Proposed initial programme of work (The proposed programme of work shall correspondto and clearly reflect the aims of the standardization activities and shall, therefore, show
the relationship between the subject proposed. Each item on the programme of work shallbe defined by both the subject aspect(s) to be standardized (for products, for example,
the items would be the types of products, characteristics, other requirements, data to besupplied, test methods, etc.). Supplementary justification may be combined withparticular items in the programme of work. The proposed programme of work shall alsosuggest priorities and target dates.

Formulation and revision of international standards in the fields of reman ufacturing
technology will be launched covering two levels. At Level A, the new TC will focus on basic
standards covering terminology, guides of technology, labeling for remanufacturing
products, general technical requirements and general technical specification forremanufacturing products. Level B will cover technical standards, including dismantling,cleaning, inspection, coating preparation, machining and assembly for remanufacturing
technology. Level A and B form the basis for developing remanufacturing technologystandards.
A. Basic standards of remanufacturing technology terminology on remanufacturing technology
 guides on remanufacturing technology
 labeling of remanufacturing products
 general technical requirements of remanufacturing technology
 general technical specification of remanufacturing technology
B. Standards on remanufacturing technology
 dismantling technology of remanufacturing
 cleaning technology of remanufacturing
 inspection technology of remanufacturing coating preparation of technology of remanufacturing machining technology of remanufacturing
 assembly technology of remanufacturing
Lack of globally recognized remanufacturing standards has constrained the global
trade in remanufacturing. Development of standards to ensure the quality ofremanufactured products to simulate the growth in remanufacturing is paramount for
remanufacturing to reach its full potential, creating a massive untapped remanufacturingmarket. It is most urgent to formulate standards on remanufacturing technology. The newTC plans to propose five international standards in three years, including
Remanufacturing-Terminology
Remanufacturing-General technical requirements for mechanical products
The methods of quality evaluation of cores for remanufacturing
Technological guidelines of surface treatment for remanufacturing of mechanical productsTechnical specifications of machining for remanufacturing of mechanical products

A statement from the proposer as to how the proposed work may relate to or impact on
existing work, especially existing ISO and IEC deliverables. (The proposer should explain
how the work differs from apparently similar work, or explain how duplication and conflict
will be minimized. If seemingly similar or related work is already in the scope of o thercommittees of the organization or in other organizations, the proposed scope shalldistinguish between the proposed work and the other work. The proposer shall indicate
whether his or her proposal could be dealt with by widening the scope of an existi ng
committee or by establishing a new committee.)Development of remanufacturing industry has been highly valued in developed countries
such as the United States, Britain and Canada. Standards of remanufacturing product andprocess have been formulated there. However, the standard numbers are not enough, andthe category coverage is not comprehensive. At present there is no formal remanufacturing
standards organization in ISO, including standardization organizations or association insome countries (such as ANSI, CEN, DIN, BSI, AFNOR,SCC, SABS, etc.).
The remanufacturing TC to be established won't conflict with other existing ISO and IEC
TCs. Formulating remanufacturing standards of base and technology will fill gaps in thestandard system, promote global remanufacturing integration development, resource savingand environment protection.
Development of remanufacturing industry has been highly valued in developed countries
such as the United States, Britain and Canada. Limited standards for remanufacturing
product and process have been formulated there. However, the standards formulated arerelated to specific products as part of design for X or for production of virgin pro ducts.
However, there is no standard developed specifically for remanufacturing specificprocesses which are very different from that for virgin products.
At present there is no formal remanufacturing standards organization within ISO,
including standardization organizations or association in some countries (such as MIL, SAE,
ANSI, CEN, DIN, BSI, NF,SCC, SABS, etc.).
The remanufacturing TC to be established won't conflict with other existing ISO and IEC
TCs. Instead, the development standards for remanufacturing technology covering generaltechnical standards and procedural standards will fill gaps in the standard system,
promoting global remanufacturing , resource saving and environment protection.

A simple and concise statement identifying and describing relevant affected stakeholder
categories (including small and medium sized enterprises) and how they will each benefit
from or be impacted by the proposed deliverable(s).

Stakeholders of remanufacturing technology include consumers, remanufacturers,dealers, governments and independent third parties. Remanufacturing international
standards have many benefits for stakeholders as follows:
Consumers get reliable quality of products and gain benefits. Remanufacturing
international standards have contributed to expanding technology management capacity
for remanufacturers, improving production technology, providing technical support forremanufacturing. These standards can promote trade facilitation and expand bilateral
trade volume, promote fair trade in the world. These standards provides a scientific andeffective method to evaluate the remanufacturing activities for governments andindependent third parties.

An expression of commitment from the proposer to provide the committee secretariat if theproposal succeeds.

China is willing to undertake the work of secretariat of new TC.

Purpose and justification for the proposal. (The purpose and justification for the creation ofa new technical committee shall be made clear and the need for standardization in thisfieldshall be justified. Clause C.4.13.3 of Annex C of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 contains amenu of suggestions or ideas for possible documentation to support and purpose andjustification of proposals. Proposers should consider these suggestions, but they are n ot
limited to them, nor are they required to comply strictly with them. What is most important isthat proposers develop and provide purpose and justification information that is mostrelevant to their proposals and that makes a substantial business case f or the market
relevance and the need for their proposals. Thorough, well-developed and robust purpose
and justification documentation will lead to more informed consideration of proposals andultimately their possible success in the ISO IEC system.)During one hundred years of the 20th century, material wealth that mankind created has
exceeded the total of the past five thousand years. Excessive natural resources have beenconsumed. Mechanical products play an important role in modern production and people 's
daily lives, and have brought great convenience to human. However, with the dramaticincrease in the number of the waste products, ecocide, environmental pollution andresource waste are more serious.
Remanufacturing is an industrial process of returning the non-functional or retired
products back to like-new conditions through disassembly, cleaning, testing, and otheroperations. The remanufactured products are tested and certified to meet technical and/or
safety specifications and has a warranty similar to that of a new product.Recent decades
have seen considerable growth in remanufacturing industry all around the world, yet theindustry is still at its infancy. A comprehensive remanufacturing standard system can foster
the healthy development of remanufacturing, promoting the uptake of remanufactured
products and enhence customers' confidences n remanufactured products. Several
technical specifications and standards have been developed in Europe, China, Japan andother countries. Yet, these are scattered over different places and there is lack ofsystematic planning and top design of remanufacturing standards which have hindered thefurther development of remanufacturing industry.
The basic technical standards and procedural standards of remanfuactur ing do not fall in
the remit of existing TCs of ISO, and it is not possible to do so by expanding the current
TCs. With the formulation of a new TC for remanufacturing, an systematic international
standard system of remanufacturing would be established and improved gradually. The
standards of remanufacturing will play an important role in quality ensurance ofremanufactured products, reducing the cost, improving efficiency for enterprises and inboosting consumer confidence, regulating the market and promot ing the healthy
development of remanufacturing industry all over the world.
The development of remanufacturing international standardization , the establishment ofremanufacturing international standard system, and the implementation of theremanufacturing international standards will achieve the following goals:(1) Resources conservation, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and global sustainabledevelopment.
(2) Standardization of remanufacturing market and promotion of international trade.
(3) Sharing the information of remanufacturing technologies and improving the quality ofremanufacturing products.
(4) Safe and reliable remanufactured products provided for consumers.
