Our job is to make sure that SDOs adhere to the process, and that's what we do.
When a draft standard is ready, we post it on the organization's website. That is how we make certain the public has 60 or 90 days to provide feedback. All comments must be individually examined by the chair of the technical committee, and a response must be provided in writing to address the validity of the comment and, if applicable, the manner in which it will be incorporated into the standard.
Hence the importance, from our perspective, of adopting a strategic approach to priority setting. It's the only way to make sure that standards reflect the concerns of consumers, Canadians, and regulators. Regulatory authorities have a vested interest in ensuring that standards meet their needs to allow for referential incorporation.
