Multi-stakeholder participation in ISO’s workMulti-stakeholder participation in ISO’s work

Open participation

Participation in ISO is open on a non-discriminatory basis to all countries of the world

All ISO member bodies have equal rights of participation at the policy development level and at every stage of standards development, adoption of standards and dissemination of adopted standards

National delegation and National enquiry

ISO members are committed to organizing participation in ISO's technical work through national delegations that represent a balance of interests reflecting the technological, economic and public interest conditions in the country

A key right and responsibility for each ISO member concerns the organization of national input during the enquiry stage – prior to the approval of ISO’s normative documents


Multi-stakeholder participation in ISO’s work (2)Multi-stakeholder participation in ISO’s work (2)

Transparency, impartiality and consensus

The ISO process is based on procedures designed to take account of the views of all parties and to reconcile any conflicting arguments

ISO members are committed to respect the results of ISO's consensus building processes, i.e. that an ISO normative document is approved when there is an absence of sustained opposition by any important part of the concerned interests


Ensuring market relevance and efficiency of Ensuring market relevance and efficiency of technical work technical work

Involvement of key stakeholders in the standards development process

ISO policy on Global Relevance

Various modalities to address new areas of work quickly, such as:

Strategic Advisory Groups, New Work Studies

Project Committees, International Workshop Agreements

Set timeframes (forcing the project management approach)


Ensuring market relevance and efficiency of Ensuring market relevance and efficiency of technical work (2)technical work (2)

Continual improvement of the ISO standards development process

Service agreements between ISO and member bodies holding TC/SC secretariats

Timeframes, Tracks, Performance monitoring, …

Full computerization (document authoring and exchange, electronic balloting, user management, project management, …)

Proven results

Average time needed to publish an International Standard (in 2006): less than 3 years

Increased participation and use of International Standards

Technical Committes are independent and the sole entities responsible for ISO’s technical work


ISO relevance for the Energy sectorISO relevance for the Energy sector

International Standards have given and continue to give an important contribution to the Energy sector

helping to enhance the safety of industry operations, assure quality, allow for variety control and interoperability, reduce waste and achieve significant cost savings

helping to improve production, products, processes and networks, and to speed-up market acceptance

ISO has published 670 standards for the Energy sector and, at June 2006, had over 200 active work items


International Standards supporting Energy International Standards supporting Energy EfficiencyEfficiency

Preliminary portfolio analysis conducted in the framework of a pilot project (using a restrictive approach)

18 ISO TCs are involved

More than 100 ISO standards published and 36 active work items – with 21 standards and 3 WIs covering industrial products and processes

Energy efficiency of Buildings is the field covered more broadly by ISO standards


IS concerning Energy Efficiency of industrial IS concerning Energy Efficiency of industrial products and processesproducts and processes

ISO 5802 – Industrial fans performance (ISO TC 117)

ISO 1217 – Compressors – Consumption vs. power output (ISO TC 118/SC 6)

ISO 9946 – Manipulating industrial robots – power consumption (ISO TC 184/SC2)

A few examples


International Standards supporting Renewable International Standards supporting Renewable Energy sourcesEnergy sources

Preliminary portfolio analysis conducted in the framework of a pilot project (using a restrictive approach)

Three ISO TCs are involved

20 ISO standards published and 11 active work items

The majority of ISO standards in this field cover solar heating systems


IS concerning Renewable Energy SourcesIS concerning Renewable Energy Sources

ISO 81400 (ISO TC 60) – Wind turbine gearboxes

ISO 9459 (ISO TC 180/SC4) – Solar water-heating systems

ISO 13600 (ISO TC 203) –Technical Energy system

A few examples


ISO cooperation with IEA ISO cooperation with IEA

Energy efficiency has a key role to play and is available in the short termEnergy efficiency has a key role to play and is available in the short term


ISO cooperation with IEA (2)ISO cooperation with IEA (2)

ISO and IEA agree that International Standards are a key tool for disseminating new technologies and good practices, developing global markets and supporting the harmonization of government policies on energy efficiency and renewable sources on a global scale

The two organizations are willing to cooperate with a view to:

refining the portfolio analysis of International Standards relevant to these fields

identifying priorities that can be shared by public authorities, the private sector and societal stakeholders

performing a gap analysis and providing recommendations to standards experts on high-priority areas that can be covered by International Standards


Energy Management and Auditing standardsEnergy Management and Auditing standards

The theme of Energy Management standards has been debated informally in ISO but work has not been proposed yet

ISO is well aware of national standards covering the subject and following developments in the field (regional projects, bilateral/multilateral cooperation) – recognizing that most documents are compatible with the ISO management systems “model”

ISO welcomes the UNIDO initiative and looks forward to support in the most suitable way proposals from ISO members and recommendations from international organizations to initiate international standardization activities on the subject
