Consultations

Consultation with stakeholders before issuing any standards is a statutory obligation and an essential part of the standard-setting process.

As part of this process, we issue Exposure drafts (EDs) which are early versions of standards. These are issued for comment before the standard is finalised. 

We may also seek feedback on frameworks, workplans and other initiatives that support our standard-setting activities.
