Usually those standards committees are continuous, right? They start before the publication of the first version of the standards and they are going to be in place until that standard is still enforceable. Then, once we find that another version of the standard is needed, we come up with a new publication. That goes on usually on a three-year basis, or maybe five years, depending on the type of technology.
For example, reinforced concrete structures have been around for a little while. That standard is not updated that often. I wouldn't say that there's not much progress, but the progress is not as much as it is in new industries like additive construction, for example.
The process would be that you do your research, and your research findings are going to form the first version of the standard. Then you keep updating that based on ongoing research.
I hope that answers it.
