A proposal for a new field of technical activity shall be submitted to the Central Secretariat, which
will assign it a reference number and process the proposal in accordance with the ISO/IEC
Directives (part 1, subclause 1.5). The proposer may be a member body of ISO, a technicalcommittee, subcommittee or project committee, the Technical Management Board or a General
Assembly committee, the Secretary-General, a body responsible for managing a certification system
operating under the auspices of ISO, or another international organization with national bodymembership. Guidelines for proposing and justifying a new field of technical activity are given in theISO/IEC Directives (part 1, Annex C).

Scope statement of the proposed new committee (The scope shall precisely define thelimits of the field of activity. Scopes shall not repeat general aims and principles
governing the work of the organization but shall indicate the specific area concerned.)

The standardization of the corrosion control engineering life cycle, including the terms
and definitions, general requirements, and evaluation of the corrosion control engineering
life cycle. The engineering life cycle is defined as a system view of the structure to beprotected from corrosion that includes the initial design and development based onmaterial selection and protective measures through the construction, inspection,assessment, maintenance, and decommissioning at the end of life of the structure.
Excluded is work in the field of corrosion of metals and alloys including corrosion test
methods and corrosion prevention methods and standardization in the field of paints,
varnishes, and related products, including raw materials. Specific industry or market
segments due to their special requirements are also excluded from the scope.

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.

Corrosion control covers many market segments and materials that can include metals andother materials such as concrete and plastic. The causes of corrosion are many and cannot
be addressed by one method. Further, various industries and structures have different
requirements for the life cycle related to the impact of corrosion. Many can be the subject ofregional regulation that will set requirements. Therefore, this proposal for the corrosion
control engineering life cycle will address the most general guidance and best practicethrough standards that can be used as a basis for more specific needs. Effective corrosion
control programs will improve sustainability of the environment, safety, and reduce
catastrophic failures.
The standardization of the corrosion control engineering life cycle can be considered on
three levels. The first level pertains to the basic standards, including the terms and thedefinitions involved in the corrosion control engineering life cycle. The second level involves
the general requirements for all the factors affecting whole life cycle, which include
objective, corrosion source, material, technology, design, development, manufacture,construction, installation, storage and transportation, inspection, assessment, application,maintenance, scrapping, document management, etc. The third level is concerned with theevaluation criteria for the corrosion control engineering life cycle.
Of the three levels, the first one provides a foundation to maintain consistency in all theactivities of the corrosion control engineering life cycle, making it convenient for users tounderstand and implement the standards. The second and third levels identify requirementsof the related factors and general evaluation guidelines that can be applied in more specificapplications in various industry segments.
1. The basic standards——The terms of corrosion control engineering life cycle, etc.
2. The general requirements standards——The control requirements of the related factors in the corrosion control engineering
life cycle, etc.
3. The evaluation standards——The evaluation guidelines of the corrosion control engineering life cycle, etc.
Standardization of the corrosion control engineering life cycle is needed to be urgently
developed at the current time. The proposing TC is planning to propose 1 to 3 standards infive years based on international standard demands.
Requirements in specific industries cannot be addressed by the proposing TC but theproposed work of the TC is expected to provide a basis for adoption in more specificstandards for these industries.

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 othercommittees 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 existingcommittee or by establishing a new committee.)

So far, there is no TC or PC on standardization overlapping the corrosion control
engineering life cycle within ISO and IEC, but some TCs may relate to: ISO/TC 156 focuses
on standardization of corrosion of metals and alloys including corrosion test methods andcorrosion prevention methods. ISO/TC 35 focuses on standardization of paints, varnishes,
and the related products. ISO/TC 107 focuses on standardization of metallic and otherinorganic coatings. These TCs’ standardization work has played an effective role incorrosion control and prevention, but their standards only involve certain factors affecting
the corrosion control engineering life cycle in the fields such as material, technology, and soon.
The proposing TC plans to focus on standardization of corrosion control engineering lifecycle, which provides the safest and most beneficial approach in application by coordinating
and optimizing all factors in the whole life cycle. The standards would be comprehensive,systematic, coordinated, optimized, and cross-disciplinary. The proposing TC doesn't
involve or contain the scope of TC 156, TC 35, and TC 107. But it is perhaps necessary toset up a liaison with these TCs as follows:
TC 08 Ships and marine technology
TC 35 Paints and varnishes
TC 67/WG 7 Corrosion resistant materials
TC 67/WG 8 Materials, corrosion control, welding and jointing, and non-destructive
examination (NDE)
TC 67/SC 2 Pipeline transportation systems
TC 67/SC 7 Offshore structures
TC 71 Concrete, reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete

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 notlimited 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 for 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.)

The object of standardization is the corrosion control engineering life cycle, and thedeveloped standards, are intended to provide safety and benefits for long-life operation ofassets by controlling all the identified factors in the life cycle including objective, corrosion
source, material, technology, design, development, manufacture, construction, installation,
storage and transportation, inspection, assessment, application, maintenance, scrapping,document management, etc.
Corrosion is ubiquitous in the world, which causes reduction of limited resources, potential
safety hazards, ecological damage and environment pollution. According to international
statistics, the loss caused by corrosion is about 3 to 5% of GDP. A recent report by WorldCorrosion Organization (WCO) shows that global annual cost caused by corrosion is US$2.2 trillion.
It is necessary and urgent to develop a series of uniform general standards on the corrosion
control engineering life cycle on a worldwide scale for controlling corrosion with a scientific,economic, and standardized means. It is also very useful and effective in preventing andavoiding accidents related to or caused by corrosion, such as pipeline blasts, bridge
collapse, chemical/nuclear plant equipment leakage, etc.
A number of standards related to corrosion control have been developed by different
national, regional, or international committees or regulatory bodies. They have played aneffective role in corrosion control. But corrosion is an interdisciplinary subject, and corrosion
control is also an interdisciplinary and comprehensive engineering technology. To obtainbenefits of anticorrosion engineering, a whole life-cycle control should be taken in acomprehensive, systematic, coordinating, and optimizing way in the aspects of objective,
corrosion source, material, technology, design, development, manufacture, construction,
installation, storage and transportation, inspection, assessment, application, maintenance,scrapping, document management, etc.
Therefore, we strongly suggest that ISO approve the establishment of this specialized
technical committee (TC) on the corrosion control engineering life cycle, The new TC will bein charge of the constitution work of international standardization of the corrosion control
engineering life cycle, improving and perfecting a system of international standards in thisfield. The system is expected to be extensively accepted and implemented on a worldwide
scale to fulfill the following objectives:
1. To allow all the member countries around the globe to share the most advanced
research achievements and practical experiences in the field of anticorrosion engineeringand to obtain the maximum safety, benefit, and effect of corrosion control engineering bycomprehensive control of all the factors in the whole life cycle.
2. To standardize the behavior of the corrosion control engineering life cycle on aworldwide scale, and to provide guidance to the enterprises for achieving the maximum
safety and benefit.
3. To promote the establishment of corrosion control engineering life-cycle evaluation for
reduction in the waste of our limited resources, and contribution to construction around theglobe.

Annex to TS/P 254

The object of standardization is the corrosion control engineering life cycle, andstandards to be developed are intended to provide maximum safety and benefits forlong-life operation of assets by controlling all the identified factors in the life cycle
including objective, corrosion source, material, technology, design, development,manufacture, construction, installation, storage and transportation, inspection,assessment, application, maintenance, scrapping, document management, etc. The
standard could be general requirement in top level with integrity, systematicness,coordination and optimization. Corrosion is ubiquitous in all industries, which
corrosion control is a supporting, attached and service work. Standards developed in
specific industry are professional standards due to their special requirements. We havereviewed the scope of additional potential liaison in revised form, and we have somesuggestions:
TC67 works on standardization of the materials, equipment and offshore structures
used in the drilling, production, transport by pipelines and processing of liquid andgaseous hydrocarbons within the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
TC67/WG7、TC67/WG8、TC67/SC2、TC67/SC7 may develop specific requirements
due to corrosion problem in this area, so it is perhaps necessary to set up liaison withthem. TC71 works on standardization of the technology of concrete, which may
develop specific requirements solving corrosion problems of concrete, so it is perhaps
necessary to set up liaison with it. TC85 works on standardization in the field ofpeaceful applications of nuclear energy, nuclear technologies and in the field of theprotection of individuals and the environment against all sources of ionisingradiations, which may contain corrosion control requirements of nuclear power plants,
so liaison is perhaps necessary. TC108/SC5 works on standardization of theprocedures, processes and equipment requirements uniquely related to the technicalactivity of condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines systems, whichmonitoring requirements may be used as reference in monitoring factor of corrosion
control life cycle, so liaison with it may also necessary. TC164 works onstandardization of methods for mechanical testing, which some methods may be usedin testing in corrosion control engineering, so liaison with it is perhaps necessary.
TC167 works on standardization in the field of structural use of steel and alloys ofaluminium as applied in building, civil engineering and related structures, whichalloys of alminium may be used as functional raw materials in corrosion control
engineering, so liaison is perhaps necessary. TC207/SC5 works on life cycle
assessment in environment management, which assessment method may be used forreference in assessment of corrosion control engineering life cycle, so liaison may bealso necessary.
TC44 works on standardization of welding, by all processes, as well as allied
processes, which these standards include terminology, definitions and the symbolic
representation of welds on drawings, apparatus and equipment for welding, rawmaterials (gas, parent and filler metals) welding processes and rules, methods of test
and control, calculations and design of welded assemblies, welders' qualifications, aswell as safety and health. TC224 works on standardization of a framework for thedefinition and measurement of service activities relating to drinking water supplysystems and wastewater systems, which the standardization includes the definition ofa language common to the different stakeholders, the definition of the characteristicsof the elements of the service according to the consumers expectations, a list ofrequirements to fulfil for the management of a drinking water supply system and awastewater system, service quality criteria and a related system of performanceindicators, without setting any target values or thresholds. TC251 works onstandardization in the field of asset management. TC282 works on standardization ofwater re-use of any kind and for any purpose, which covers both centralized anddecentralized or on-site water re-uses, direct and indirect ones as well as intentional
and unintentional ones. It includes technical, economic, environmental and societal
aspects of water re-use. Water re-use comprises a sequence of the stages andoperations involved in uptaking, conveyance, processing, storage, distribution,consumption, drainage and other handling of wastewater, including the water re-use
in repeated, cascaded and recycled ways. According to scopes of these four TCs, wedon’t think they may directly relate to corrosion control engineering life cycle, orcontain requirements as well, therefore, we suggest that it may be unnecessary to set
up liaison with them.
