Page 9A 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 duplicationand conflict will be minimized. If seemingly similar or related work is already in thescope of other committees of the organization or in other organizations, the proposed
scope shall distinguish 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 ofan existing committee or by establishing a new committee.)
Creation of a new ISO/TC “Roofing and waterproofing building materials” will allow to intensity
the standardization in the field of materials and products for roof construction building. Currently,
ISO standards for this aspect of construction materials have not been developed yet.
A listing of relevant countries where the subject of the proposal is important to theirnational commercial interests.
Infrastructure is the vehicle for transforming low- and middle-income countries into emerging ordeveloping ones. Rapid urbanization in emerging economies and continued urbanization inadvanced economies are the major drivers of infrastructure spending. A rise in infrastructure
spending includes the creation of a huge demand for private and public sector infrastructuraldevelopments, such as power stations, electricity grids, water supply and treatment plants,
roads, railways, airports, bridges, telecommunications networks, schools, and hospitals. The
building & construction industry requires high-performance materials that are strong, lightweight,
high-performance, durable, and versatile. The quality and performance of building materials
need to be extremely consistent; as a result, the demand for roofing and waterproofing building
materials is increasing for infrastructural development. The increasing population in emerging
regions, especially in Asia-Pacific area, and the need for improved infrastructure, are expected
to drive the global consumption of roofing and waterproofing building materials. The global
population was around 7.7 billion in 2019, with Asia-Pacific area having approximately 60% of
the total population. Close to 80% of the global population resides in developing countries where
there is an increasing demand for residential housing and urban infrastructure. According to theUnited Nations, the global population is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion by
2050, which will further necessitate the construction of housing, commercial hubs, roads, andwaste & water management facilities. There is a huge scope for developing and improving thequality of infrastructure in Russia, China, Brazil, India, Southeast Asia and other developing
economies. The consumption of roofing and waterproofing building materials is expected toincrease as these materials play a key role in improving the overall quality and durability of
infrastructure. Thus this area of standardization is intended to involve all ISO members.
A listing of relevant external international organizations or internal parties (other ISO
and/or IEC committees) to be engaged as liaisons in the development of thedeliverable(s). (In order to avoid conflict with, or duplication of efforts of, other bodies,
it is important to indicate all points of possible conflict or overlap. The result of any
communication with other interested bodies shall also be included.)

A simple and concise statement identifying and describing relevant affectedstakeholder categories (including small and medium sized enterprises) and how they
will each benefit from or be impacted by the proposed deliverable(s).
An integrated approach to standardization of roofing and waterproofing products will allow tobuild the engagement of all parties – consumers, designers, builders and manufacturers ofbuilding materials that will provide high quality documents.
An expression of commitment from the proposer to provide the committee secretariat if
the proposal succeeds.
GOST R is willing to undertake the duties of secretariat of the new TC, and is committed toproviding all necessary resources to successfully run the secretariat.
Purpose and justification for the proposal. (The purpose and justification for thecreation of a new technical committee shall be made clear and the need forstandardization in this fieldshall be justified. Clause C.4.13.3 of Annex C of the ISO/IEC
Directives, Part 1 contains a menu of suggestions or ideas for possible documentation
to support and purpose and justification of proposals. Proposers should consider thesesuggestions, but they are not limited to them, nor are they required to comply strictlywith them. What is most important is that proposers develop and provide purpose andjustification information that is most relevant to their proposals and that makes asubstantial business case for the market relevance and the need for their proposals.
Thorough, well-developed and robust purpose and justification documentation will leadto more informed consideration of proposals and ultimately their possible success in
the ISO IEC system.)
The creation of a new technical Committee "Roofing and waterproofing materials" will make itpossible to develop a set of new ISO standards over the next years, whilst the current mode isslowing down its development. It will also allow to increase the value of global trade in roofing
and waterproofing materials.
