The work of producing a standard takes place in technical committees, working groups or project groups. Participants in a project come from interested companies, organizations, authorities, etc. The interested parties themselves initiate and finance the project, and the committee works under their auspices.
Experts have competence in the particular field and know what problems have to be solved.
SIS and the standardizing bodes are responsible for administration of the work, ensuring that the project receives all the support it needs. We also contribute with our international network of contacts. SIS authorizes standardizing bodies to be responsible for standardization in their respective fields of competence.
