Draft Enquiries for Public Comment

 

Below please find a list of new ballots just received for comment.

Agreement on European Standards is reached by the thirty members of CEN (European Committee for Standardization whose Irish member is NSAI), following a weighted ballot of the CEN members.  Once agreed in this manner the EN Standard must be given the status of a national standard in each of the members of CEN.  Before commenting on such documents, the NSAI wishes to consult with interested parties in Ireland in order to be in a position to reflect a national viewpoint as much as possible.

Interested parties are invited to submit to NSAI technical/editorial comments on the draft European Standards listed below and their recommendations for vote to NSAI no later than two weeks before the end date of the ballot.  The"end date" of the ballot is indicated after each draft.  Normally a timescale of five months is allowed for submission of comments at the Public Enquiry Stage.  However this is not always the case and if in doubt contact the NSAI.

Copies of the drafts that relate to your area of expertise and for which you attend an NSAI consultative committee can be obtained by contacting the secretary of your committee.

Copies of the drafts that relate to your area of expertise and/or for which you do not attend an NSAI consultative committee may be obtained from:

In cases where the reference document concerned is a published ISO Standard there will be charge of the current price of the standards in question.
 

This service is only for those who intend to provide feedback/comments on drafts.
