International standards have become, at the same time, the price of admission to the global economy and the glue holding it together. Adherence to the standards is a condition of entry to the World
Trade Organization. And as the global economy grows,
so do they.

• One of the strengths of standards is that they are created by the people that need them.
• Industry experts drive all aspects of the standard development process, from deciding whether a new standard is needed to defining all the technical content.
• Gegng involved in this process can bring significant advantages to your business.
• When it comes to developing standards, you’re either at the table… or you’re on the menu – Influence the standards that affect you – Be recognized for your contribu=ons – Connect with poten=al customers and suppliers
• Don’t develop your standards at the kids table – Accredited, interna=onally recognized – Proven track record – Rules that protect a level playing field
How ISO standards are developed? • The na=onal delega=ons of experts of a commiLee meet to discuss, debate and argue un=l they reach consensus on a draI agreement
• The resul=ng document is circulated as a DraI Interna=onal Standard (DIS) to all ISO's member bodies for vo=ng and comment
• If the vo=ng is in favor, the document, with eventual modifica=ons, is circulated to the ISO members as a Final DraI Interna=onal Standard (FDIS)
What I actually do? • ALend ISO mee=ngs (2+ =mes per year) • Par=cipate in discussion groups • Contribute to standards development • Edit standards documents • Keep a watching eye on a range of soIware engineering standards
• Brief / advise NSAI • Keep interested par=es informed • Talk at event like this • And lots more…
