What is the Vision of ICSCA ?What is the Vision of ICSCA ?
To have the ICSCA perceived as a valuable resource for both the public and private sectors in the development of global trade initiatives that :
advance the well-being of the peoples of the world through the elimination of non-tariff barriers to trade and commerce.
foster implementation of globally accepted standards and conformance systems that will promote global trade.
enhance the value of global products in local markets through support of common global activities.
prevent the misuse of standards development practices. reduce the transition time to move from paper to electronic
communications systems.
To have this vision shared by companies and people in all reaches of the world.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 8
Primary goal of the ICSCAPrimary goal of the ICSCA
ICSCA members share a primary goal of increased trade and commerce through the appropriate application of industry used standards and the belief that such standards should add value to the products affected by them.
ICSCA work has focused upon conformity assessment requirements and agreeing upon ways to improve “current systems" for standards development and subsequent conformance recognition.

What Are ICSCA Activities?What Are ICSCA Activities?
Becoming a valuable catalyst in helping ISO and IEC achieve their objectives more quickly.
Implementing standards that facilitate global business, and add value to it, and to everybody’s welfare.
Promoting international standards that are accepted world-wide. Promoting those standards that support the goal of having
products "tested once and accepted everywhere". Coordinating industry’s viewpoints on standardization and
conformity assessment policies. Active contributions to the dialogue with governments, e.g. in the
TABD (TransAtlantic Business Dialogue) and other global trade initiatives.
Participating in existing International, Regional and National standards development and conformance assessment programs

How Does ICSCA Conduct Business ?How Does ICSCA Conduct Business ?ICSCA members thoroughly discuss all aspects of
key issues and develop resolutions reflecting
common views which members then promote in
other relevant organizations. Meetings take place
at least once a year, alternating between locations
in Europe and the US and are co-chaired by
executives from European and U.S. companies.
Task forces for special items are organized and
meet when necessary. Between meetings issues
are pursued by e-mail and electronic forums hosted
on the ICSCA web site.

Global Test Acceptance: ICSCA-PWS-Agreement Basic Statements (1)
1 Support a sectoral approach for world-wide and concurrent harmonization of regulations, standards and conformity assessment processes
2 Support ”One Standard, one test, global acceptability”, on a sectoral basis, with the options first party declaration (SDoC) second party verification third party certification
3 Support the IEC CB Scheme
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 13
4 Support the IEC CB Scheme, being a benchmark model for other sectors
5 Support extension of the IEC CB Scheme to sectors that utilize a proportion of IEC Standards
6 Support extension of the IEC CB Scheme to non-IEC Member countries
7 Encourage and assist other sectors to set up schemes based upon the principles of the IEC CB Scheme

PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 17
ICSCA VIIAPEC Resolutions (1)
Towards a Regulatory Model for ICT
• ICSCA VII advocates movement across APEC towards a regulatory model in which SDoC is accepted as a valid means for market access for ICT, which will support technology diffusion throughout the region.
Computers and their Peripherals• ICSCA VII supports the APEC Sub-Committee on Standards and
Conformance (SCSC) action plan on implementation of SDoC to international standards for safety and EMI of computers and peripherals, with one-time testing in a competent facility.
• ICSCA VII notes that testing facility acceptance may be facilitated by arrangements such as the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) MRA, the IEC-CB Scheme, and phase I of the APEC TEL MRA.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 18
ICSCA VIIAPEC Resolutions (2)
Telecommunications• ICSCA VII supports the development of the APEC TEL MRA
as a means to end redundant testing and approvals. ICSCA VII encourages Telecommunications sector regulators to respond to the rapid pace of technology development and end user needs by collaborating to:
Extend the initiative taken in the mutual recognition arrangement to further regulatory reform
Reduce national impediments in the rollout of global technologies; and
engage in active cooperation to set regulatory reform objectives
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 19
ICSCA VIIAPEC Resolutions (3)
IAF• ICSCA VII advises that the IAF has no logical role to play in
the promotion of the APEC Telecom MRA or the APEC SCSC work plan of IT equipment, because the MRA and work plan have no bearing on management systems.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 20
ICSCA VIIUN/ECE Resolutions (1)
• ICSCA VII thanks UN/ECE Working Party 6 on Technical Harmonization and Standardization Policies for the opportunity to participate in its November 7 Workshop and plenary discussion 6 & 8. ICSCA endorses the November 7 Workshop conclusion:
• ICSCA VII like UN/ECE WP 6 calls on UN/ECE Governments and international organizations: to show their commitment to the facilitation of
international trade by widerparticipation in international regulatory cooperation and internationalstandardization and effective implementation of the results;
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 21
ICSCA VIIUN/ECE Resolutions (2)
to encourage effective coordination and cooperation between Governments and regulatory authorities and economic operators, and different internationalorganizations and intergovernmental forums and to follow up on practicalproposals on regulatory cooperation, in particular sectors/product areas;
to involve, where appropriate, private-sector representatives in suchactivities thus promoting a public-private partnership approach.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 22
ICSCA VIIUN/ECE Resolutions (3)
• ICSCA VII urges UN/ECE WP 6 to adopt this approach in its further work on an “International Model for Implementing Good Regulatory Practice for the preparation adoption and application of technical regulations via the use of International Standards.”
• By including ICSCA and other representatives of the private sector in its work program, UN/ECE can leverage the considerable knowledge and resources within the private sector. This will help UN/ECE WP6 to speed up the process, avoid duplication of work or competition with complementary efforts in other fora and focus on only “value added” proposals with strong support, rationale and market relevance.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 23
ICSCA VIIIEC CB Scheme Expansion
• ICSCA VII welcomed the report on the progress being made in the IEC-CB scheme expansion. It expressed concern at the participation status of ICSCA, which was originally understood to be an independent industry view. It was disappointed to find out that its participation was limited by
– (1) Rules that did not allow ICSCA participation; only national committee recognized
– (2) Potential conflict between positions if national committee representative status was used and recorded in the minutes/actions of the meeting while acting for/on behalf of ICSCA.
– (3) And that the CAB decision regarding status of ICSCA was not officially reported back to ICSCA
• ICSCA VII welcomed the IEC-CB secretary commitment to discuss these concerns with the CAB, and encourages its members to increase activity in the national committees of the IEC-CB.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 24
ICSCA VIISustainability Management Systems Resolution
• The position of the ICSCA is that business is based upon management systems. Some of the internal management processes can be “standardized”, but options must exist. Depending upon the maturity of a company’s management system, the application of management systems standards may, or may not, bring business benefit. The value of third party certification is made redundant by self assessment and self declaration for mature management systems.
• ICSCA VII is very concerned about the proliferation of certifiable MSS driven by the commercial interests, particularly the certification industry, and advocates a strong support of ISO Guide 72 at the ISO level and advocates the
adoption of this Guide at the National level.
PASC XXIV, Korea, 4/22/01, Slide 25
