ITEM 7 REPORT BY THE DEVCO SECRETARY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ISO ACTION PLAN FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
1. ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2011-2015
Implementation of the new ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2011-2015 started in 2011 with the objective of achieving the following outputs:
1. Increased participation in ISO technical work
2. Capacity built in standardization and related matters for ISO members and their stakeholders
3. Awareness improved on the role and benefits of International Standards and their use. International standards are therefore increasingly used
4. ISO members in developing countries strengthened at institutional level
5. Regional cooperation strengthened
6. Introduction of the subject of standardization as part of educational curricula initiated
2. Activities implemented between August 2012 and July 2013
The Action Plan is administered by the Development and Training Services (DEVT) unit at the ISO Central Secretariat (ISO/CS) and monitored by the ISO Committee on developing country matters (DEVCO) and its Chair’s Advisory Group (CAG).
In past years, a technical assistance request questionnaire was sent to members to ask for their needs for assistance by ISO under the Action Plan for developing countries. The response rate has been consistently poor during the last 3 years, with the number of countries responding ranging from 30 to just over 50.
As of 2014, a new and more targeted approach will be implemented with the support of the DEVCO CAG, whereby, instead of using a questionnaire, member needs will be defined through the needs assessment exercise of the Institutional Strengthening (INS) programme, the feedback collected from the Good Standardization Practice (GSP) courses and the Setting of National Standards Strategies (SNSS) programme.
In addition, feedback from the Stakeholder Engagement workshops and the regional ISO CEO forums will be used to establish the programme of technical assistance for next year. It is the ultimate objective of ISO to ensure that all technical assistance provided contribute to a longer-term improvement plan elaborated by our members, noting that the courses and programmes mentioned above aim at precisely assisting our members to have this holistic view.
Annex 1 lists the technical assistance projects and training activities implemented between August 2012 and July 2013. An overview of the activities carried out according to the 6 outputs of the Action Plan is provided in pages 2 to 8.

2.1. Increased participation in ISO technical work
A. Sponsorships and physical participation ISO supports the involvement of developing countries in the technical work performed by ISO technical committees (including project committees), subcommittees and working groups. By participating at these three levels, developing countries ensure that their interests are taken into account and, in so doing, contribute to strengthening ISO's global relevance. A major step was taken at the March 2013 Council meeting to encourage greater participation by developing countries in ISO technical work. Indeed, in accordance with Council Resolution 03/2013, correspondent and subscriber members may participate - during 2014 and 2015 only - in up to five (5) technical committees, subcommittees, project committees or working groups as P-members, with normal rights to speak and vote in these committees, and no change to their membership fees or other rights. The Membership unit in ISO/CS is compiling the list of members who wish to become P-members and organising specific training on ISO IT tools and ISO rules. Seventy-nine sponsorships were provided to delegates from developing countries to participate in ISO technical committees, such as ISO/TC 1 20, 34, 163, 176,197, 207, 217, 223, 248 as well as CASCO WGs 21 35 and 37. B. e-participation and more effective leadership There is a need for more effective performance in leadership and other roles dealing with standardization. Thus, regular training sessions were organized in Geneva at ISO/CS for members from developed and developing countries. During the period under review, three sessions of the ISO Secretaries’ Week course were organized for ISO TC/SC secretaries, secretary support teams and WG convenors. In total, 35 individuals, holding ISO/TC secretary, secretary support or WG convenorship positions, from 10 developing countries have attended the ISO Secretaries' sessions. Two courses on eServices for MBUAs (Member Body User Administrators) were also organized in Geneva. ISO web conferencing (WEBEX) accounts for national work have been provided free to Member bodies and Correspondent members in developing countries. These countries already had access to WEBEX for ISO-related international work to enable them to participate more. An ISO Secretaries' Week session was provided for DSM (Malaysia) in August 2012 on a cost-recovery basis.

Under the MoUs with SAC (China) signed in 2011 and 2012, ISO/CS is providing a series of training sessions for individuals with ISO leaderships positions from China. An ISO Secretaries' Week for SAC was organized in Hangzhou, China in October 2012 (together with an eServices for MBUAs course) and in May 2013 in Geneva. SAC bears all the costs of this programme. A regional eServices for MBUAs course was delivered in May 2013, in Saudi Arabia, for ISO members who are members of GSO (Gulf Cooperation Council Standardization Organization) . A regional course was also delivered in Tanzania in June 2013 in collaboration with SIS (Swedish Standards Institute). The costs for ISO/CS trainers were borne by the organizers in each case. The pilot programme to develop and implement a new course for training ISO Chairs and convenors continued during the period under review. A regional course took place in Singapore in October 2012 with sponsored participants from developing countries holding ISO Chair and convenorships in the region. A final pilot session of the course will take place in Toronto, Canada in August 2013 for ISO Chairs and convenors from the Americas. A training-of-trainer session will take place immediately after the main course for suitably qualified ISO Chairs and convenors. The training material is at the disposal of members who wish to use it for conducting national training.
2.2. Capacity built in standardization and related matters
In addition to raising awareness of the importance of standards is the need to develop the capacity of ISO members to participate more effectively in ISO technical work.
Examples of training courses offered
At the 2009 DEVCO meeting, one of the discussion groups recommended that guidance be developed on the formulation of national standardization strategies. As a result, the training and mentoring programme entitled Setting national standardization strategies was developed by ISO based on the methodology created for the ISO eLearning Module 1- Assessing national priorities. Organized in three distinct parts and centred around an intensive six-day residential training course, the overall objective of the programme is the establishment of a multi-year national standardization strategy by participating ISO members. Seven regional courses have been organized since November 2010 hosted by the ISO members in Suriname, Papua New Guinea, Namibia, Argentina, Senegal (for French-speaking countries in Africa), Oman and Uzbekistan respectively. Both pre-course and post-course mentoring by the trainer is built into the design of the course.
To date, just under half of the participating countries have submitted the required post-course national standardization strategy. The ISO Secretary-General has contacted the remaining ISO members to encourage the submission of their post-course work as soon as possible. How the training methodology is used by ISO members to formulate and update their standardization plans is one of the main issues taken up in the CEO forums. As mentioned above, offer of technical assistance to countries will increasingly be based on the results of such plans, meaning that those members not submitting their plans as requested by the Secretary-General may find it hard to justify any request for support from ISO.
As part of the effort to encourage the wider use of ISO 26000, ISO developed a project on the “uptake and use of ISO 26000 on Social Responsibility within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region”; this project targets 8 pilot countries, namely, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, and Tunisia and is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The duration of the project is four years and is in two phases; Phase I was implemented successfully in 2011: Phase II will run until 2014.
The overarching objective is to build capacity within each of the selected countries, using the national standards body (NSB) as the central pivot, to create a pool of national and regional experts, who then assist a number of pilot organizations to apply ISO 26000 in their operations. In
33
DEVCO 05/2013 Page 4
DEVT/16341905
addition, the regional exchange of experience and good practice among the partner countries on the application of ISO 26000 will be facilitated.
As a result of funding by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the SR East Africa project (similar to SR MENA) is being implemented in three countries in Eastern Africa, namely Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, to assist selected organizations to apply ISO 26000. The project was launched by the ISO Secretary-General in November 2012.
In addition to the SR MENA and SR East Africa projects, the uptake of the ISO 26000 standard was further enhanced through one national workshop held in 2012 in Nigeria and one in Ethiopia in 2013. A Global ISO 26000 Developing country workshop was held in Geneva in November 2012 and around 120 participants from about 70 countries shared their experience on the uptake of ISO 26000 in developing countries, discussed the way forward for NSBs, and benefited from ideas, information and tools to develop action plans to ensure the further uptake of ISO 26000 in their respective countries.
As a direct result of this global workshop, two regional initiatives on SR evolved: GSO elaborated a regional SR project and under their own funding participated in a joint training programme with SR MENA experts; similarly, seven Central and Eastern European countries formulated a regional project for which they are seeking partial donor support to implement. ISO is not involved in the implementation of either of these two projects due to lack of resources but is helping out to create the necessary linkages with national and international experts having worked on the SR MENA and SR East Africa projects.
2.3. Improved awareness of the role of standardization
Workshops and seminars in topical areas of interest for developing countries were maintained (e.g. ISO 22000 on food safety, ISO 14040 on Life cycle assessment, ISO 26000 on social responsibility, ISO/IEC 27001 on Information security management systems, ISO 50001 on energy management systems, environmental foot printing, and conformity assessment). Thirty-eight national and regional activities were carried out reaching out to around 2500 persons who attended these events. Consumer groups constitute one of the key stakeholders groups in standardization. A revision of the distance Learning Module “Consumers and standards” has been undertaken and is available at ISO online (http://www.iso.org/sites/ConsumersStandards/index.htm) Awareness events on new topics of interest to developing countries, like road traffic safety and risk management are currently under development. Members are encouraged to replicate such events on their own initiative so as to reach as many stakeholders and standards users as possible. Course materials can be provided by ISO/CS upon request. The new edition of the ISO/DIN Essay contest for young standardizers in developing countries, which replaces the Helmut Reihlen (HR) Award, with funding support from DIN, was won by Mr Amwayi O. William from the Kenya Bureau of Standards. The prize consisted of a training/attachment at ISO and DIN in April 2013, in lieu of the cash prize awarded previously under the HR Award.
2.4. Institutional strengthening of members in developing countries
This is a new output from the Action Plan 2011-2015 and the objective is to strengthen national standards bodies, which operate in various types of legal and institutional frameworks as well as in different business environments, in order to enhance their competence and credibility. Strong NSBs are key for ensuring adequate participation in international standardization work and for the implementation of international standards at the national level.
34
DEVCO 05/2013 Page 5
DEVT/16341905
The findings of the external and independent evaluation of the ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2005-2010 commended the introduction of this output in the current Action Plan. This component was judged to be relevant and sound. In fact, it is expected that most of ISO’s technical assistance in future would be provided under the umbrella of institutional strengthening (INS) in order to address each member’s needs evaluated holistically using established gap-analysis tools. It is important that all levels of the NSB processes be addressed through activities targeted at the real players. Thus, both NSB staff and external stakeholders should be covered. In addition, within the NSB, there should be a top-down as well as bottom-up approach for building capacities. The top-down activities are the
CEO forum, INS gap-analysis, good standardization practice course, financing NSBs course, course on setting national standardization strategies (under 2.2 above).
The series of activities targeting CEOs of NSBs to bring the latter to discuss strategic and management issues was maintained. One CEO forum was held during the reporting period and another is scheduled in November 2013. The forum was held in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) for members in East and South East Asia and South Asia. These events incorporated a significant discussion on intellectual property rights (IPR) issues but more importantly represented the pilot for a revised and more advanced version of the forum. The Secretary-General participated and facilitated discussions in the event. In April 2011, ISO launched an institutional strengthening project (INS) covering 13 member bodies from 9 regions (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Costa Rica, Lebanon, Peru, Saint Lucia, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Sudan, the F.Y.R. of Macedonia, Uzbekistan and Viet Nam). This was the first time that ISO worked with a group of ISO members to directly assess their specific needs so as to draw up a list of priority actions, which are then addressed through the delivery of ISO technical assistance. The first series of pilot INS projects has been completed for 5 countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Saint Lucia, Sri Lanka and TfYR Macedonia) and the others have some remnant activities still to be completed as a result of various delays in deploying missions. Eight other countries are covered in the second batch of projects started in August 2012, namely Bangladesh, Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia and Tanzania. In addition, an adapted and scaled down INS approach is being used since 2012 for assisting ISO members that are from Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The latter activity is a direct recommendation from the evaluation of the ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2005-2010, which called on ISO to open a separate window of support for members in low income economies. ISO/CS is working with ISO members in Canada, France and Malaysia to deliver the INS project in several of the beneficiary countries, namely Cambodia, Cameroon, Gabon, Peru, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal. An additional ten countries are covered in the third batch of projects started in April 2013, namely Bhutan, Ecuador, Fiji, Jamaica, Nepal, Panama, Philippines, Rwanda, Uganda and Yemen. A new project manager was recruited in the DEVT unit at the beginning of 2013 to help in the deployment of the INS project.
The new programme on Good standardization practice (GSP) has been developed with the objective of benchmarking NSBs’ operations with guidelines considered essential at the

international level. For example, the WTO TBT2 Committee established the “Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations in relation to Articles 2, 5 and Annex 3 of the Agreement" in November, 2000. Both ISO and its members need to comply with at least these TBT principles.
The first regional GSP course was delivered in Thailand in July 2012, with two further regional courses delivered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for English-speaking African countries in March 2013 and in La Paz, Bolivia for members in the South American and Central America and Caribbean regions, in May 2013.
Other regions will be covered in future. The ISO Deputy Secretary-General is one of the resource persons for delivering the GSP course. A detailed self-assessment form for ISO members, based on the principles of good standardization practice, has been developed for the programme. The completed forms are assessed and improvement projects are suggested by the trainers. Results are also shared amongst the participating countries on the ISOTC server, and it is expected they will help in building up a comprehensive picture of standardization practices across the ISO regions.
In addition to the above, ISO has also targeted several specific areas. Such activities concern the operational aspects of NSBs such as:
ICT capabilities and use of ISO e-tools Marketing, promotion and IPR Stakeholder engagement
The expertise in the use of IT tools developed by ISO in support of standards development and dissemination processes is strongly encouraged to enable national standards bodies to engage fully in ISO technical work. A regional course on eServices for MBUAs was organized in Moscow (Russia) in June 2013 for members in the Central Asian and Central and Eastern European regions. The ISO eLearning course ISO Expert in international standardization management comprises three separate modules, each lasting between four and six months, covering the key topics of assessing national standardization priorities; managing national participation in international standardization; and adopting and implementing International Standards. One module on adopting and implementing International standards was run during the period under review. Regional courses on Marketing and Promotion of International Standards were held in Bucharest, Romania, in October 2012 and in Lima, Peru, in July 2013. A course on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the ISO system was also organized in South Africa in June 2013 on behalf of the Southern African Development Community Cooperation in Standardization (SADCSTAN) with funding from the latter. The content of the ISO course on Adopting and referencing International Standards on the policies and practices that NSBs may establish in the use, adoption and referencing of International Standards is currently due for revision. A new course on Stakeholder engagement was developed in 2012 based on the ISO Process Evaluation Group (PEG) guidance. The second regional workshop was delivered in Indonesia in June 2013. Workshops for members and stakeholders in Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia as well as South America, Central America and the Caribbean will be carried out before the end of the year.

2.5. Regional cooperation strengthened
Experience has shown that when there is good partnership and commitment, regional and sub-regional cooperation in standardization and related matters are one of the most effective channels for sharing experience, organizing training and optimizing participation in international standardization. Thus, 19 regional seminars and workshops have been carried out in the various ISO regions during the period under review, where close to 700 regional participants shared their experiences and knowledge. Regional/sub-regional organizations, such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) participated in and contributed to the organization of some of these events. Council gave a further boost to cooperation between ISO and sub-regional organizations through its resolution N° 34/2011 which outlines ISO’s policy on relations with sub-regional organizations involved in standardization or standards-related activities. Thus, Council agreed that ISO, on the basis of an exchange of correspondence between the Secretary-General and the CEO of the respective sub-regional organization, may establish working relations with sub-regional organizations subject to the fulfilment of six conditions. This relationship assumes that ISO will be invited to be represented at general meetings of the sub-regional organization, and that the latter be invited to be represented at the ISO General Assemblies and DEVCO meetings as an observer. The ISO Secretary-General has established formal relations with 5 sub-regional organizations, namely the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ), the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) Standardization Organization (GSO), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the East African Community (EAC). Each sub-regional organization submitted a report demonstrating that it complied with the conditions laid down by the Council. They have each designated a contact point with whom ISO will work to plan joint activities. ISO/CS is currently drafting a policy laying down the elements for collaboration with these sub-regional organizations. The first four organizations, with whom relations were established in 2012, participated in the 46th DEVCO meeting in San Diego in 2012. The ISO Secretary-General is planning to attend the CROSQ Council meeting in November 2013.
2.6. Subject of standardization introduced in educational curricula
This is also a new output in the Action Plan 2011-2015. A survey to look at the existing level of cooperation among academia and NSBs has been completed. The results of this survey were discussed at a regional workshop involving NSBs and academia from developing countries in the South and East Asia regions in Bali in May 2012. This workshop was hosted by BSN, ISO member for Indonesia, which also contributed its wide experience regarding NSB/academia cooperation. The event was partly funded by KATS, ISO member for the Republic of Korea, which also contributed to the technical content of the proceedings on account of Korea’s long experience in this area. The workshop took place back-to-back with the International Cooperation for Education about Standardization (ICES) Conference/World Standards Cooperation (WSC) Academic Day 2012. This unique event brought a high level of discussion and increased levels of understanding among experts from a wide spectrum of interests and experience.

Contributions by ISO Council
From ISO’s 2012 operating surplus, Council has allocated CHF 426,000 to support developing country programmes, showing its continued commitment to reinvest its resources in the ISO system and towards its members most in need. The cumulated funding from Council to date amounts to slightly above CHF 2 million.
The DIN contribution
DIN has pledged to provide an annual contribution of EURO 80’000 for developing country programmes as from 2011, to be reviewed annually. Contributions of that amount were made by DIN for 2011, 2012 and 2013. The main goal of this contribution is to strengthen the IT infrastructure and local stakeholder engagement for further improving the possibilities of developing countries to participate in standards development. This significant support is greatly appreciated.
Contributions by donors
ISO continues to benefit from donor support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to implement activities under the ISO Action Plan for developing countries. In addition, a funding agreement between ISO and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs has been finalized and a major technical assistance project will be launched in November 2013 and will conclude in 2015. Discussions are also very advanced on a new project proposal with Sida. Both the Finnish and the new Sida proposals have institutional strengthening of NSBs as the main focus together with awareness and capacity-building in the use of ISO standards linked to sustainable development. As can be seen from the chart on the previous page, significant contributions are made by our donor support and we are very grateful for such long-term commitment to common objectives established in the ISO Action Plan for Developing Countries.

Contributions in kind
Many ISO members in developed and developing countries agree to host national and regional events organized under the ISO Action Plan and provide assistance, not only in coordinating on-site logistics and the participation of experts and international participants, but also collaborate in identifying speakers and regional expertise to add value to the conference, training seminar or workshop that they welcome in their country. This support has greatly assisted the significant increase in regional training events carried out by ISO in the last three years and is most appreciated.
Countries who hosted ISO events in the period are listed below. Their contributions will be acknowledged through a formal DEVCO resolution.
ABNT (Brazil) ASRO (Romania) BAS (Bosnia and Herzegovina) BOBS (Botswana) BSB (Bhutan) BSN (Indonesia) BSTI (Bangladesh) CODINORM (Côte d'Ivoire) COSQC (Iraq) DSM (Malaysia) EOS (Egypt) ESA (Ethiopia) IANOR (Algeria) IBNORCA (Bolivia, Plurinational State of ) ICONTEC (Colombia) IMANOR (Morocco) INDECOPI (Peru) INEN (Ecuador) INNORPI (Tunisia) INTECO (Costa Rica)
IRAM (Argentina) ISS (Serbia) JSMO (Jordan) KAZMEMST (Kazakhstan) KEBS (Kenya) LIBNOR (Lebanon) LST (Lithuania) MSB (Mauritius) NC (Cuba) SABS (South Africa) SARM (Armenia) SASMO (Syria) SON (Nigeria) SPRING SG (Singapore) SSMO (Sudan) STAMEQ (Viet Nam) TBS (Tanzania) UNBS (Uganda) UZSTANDARD (Uzbekistan)
4. Assessment of the impact of activities implemented under the Action Plan
Technical assistance activities carried out in support of the objectives set in the ISO Action Plan for developing countries are monitored by DEVCO with the support of the DEVCO CAG.
The number of activities implemented by ISO for developing countries has significantly increased over the years due to additional resources made available by donors. It is a requirement of both the donors and ISO that there be an evaluation as to whether the activities delivered have had a beneficial effect.
Procedures are in place to assess these impacts but in order to assess impacts satisfactorily, ISO needs the feedback from the national standards bodies (NSBs) that either hosted ISO activities or nominated participants to regional or international activities during the year of assessment.
The following table shows the response rate from members for the assessments carried out in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 for activities implemented in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. The 2012 assessment report was posted on ISODOC in early August 2012. The 2013 assessment for activities implemented in 2012 are being compiled and the report will be made available to members as usual; reminders have been sent to countries not having responded.

New approaches for delivering technical assistance are also being tested. As mentioned under 2.4 above on delivery of INS projects to LDCs, DEVT is leading on a pilot basis a new approach using the idea of a “pay forward methodology”. Under this approach, ISO provides targeted and relevant support to a more advanced developing country ISO member, who in turn provides INS support to a lesser developed member in the same region. In concept, ISO provides the resources for support to the more advanced country and this country provides the resources for support to the LDC, hence the term “pay forward.” The “pay forward” approach encourages real and operational regional cooperation and bilateral partnerships and leverages the training investment. As an example, under this approach, ISO worked to establish a partnership between Malaysia and Cambodia which is currently being implemented. DEVT also uses the services of ISO members to deliver its technical assistance in new areas where the member already has formal courses in its portfolio, e.g. for the future delivery of the course on road traffic safety management systems. DEVCO CAG, as mentioned elsewhere in this report, is actively involved in the identification of needs of developing countries, monitoring the implementation of the Action Plan and ensuring that DEVCO meetings are as interesting and interactive as possible. DEVCO CAG will provide leadership as from 2014 in the consultation process for the formulation of the next Action Plan. The time and resources contributed by DEVCO CAG members are greatly appreciated. DEVCO CAG monitors the progress in the implementation of the recommendations formulated in the Evaluation Report on the ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2005-2010 and will again do so at its 20th meeting on 17 September 2013. A summary of the actions taken so far or envisaged is provided in Annex 5.

ANNEX 3 to DEVCO 05/2013
Report of ISO/CASCO to ISO/DEVCO July 2013

REPORT OF ISO/CASCO TO ISO/DEVCO
1 What is ISO/CASCO
ISO/CASCO is the ISO policy committee on c onformity assessment reporting to the ISO Council. It deals with policy and the generic technical requirements and guidance related to conformity assessment (including auditing; testing; inspection; certification of products, management systems, processes and people; verification/validation; accreditation; peer assessment and mutual recognition). ISO/CASCO monitors and provides advice to all I SO technical committees and subcommittees in relation to the above issues in accordance with th e ISO/IEC Directives, and endeavours to ensure that ISO has a consistent a pproach to terminology and th e understanding of these horizontal concepts. 2 28th ISO/CASCO plenary and policy work
The 28th plenary of the ISO Committee on conformity assessment (ISO/CASCO) was hosted by the Colombian Instit ute of Technical Standards and Certification (ICONTEC) and held in Bogotá, Colombia, on 11-12 October 2012. It was attended by 97 delegates from 34 member bodies, 1 internal liaison and 12 liaison bodies including the IEC. ISO/CASCO held an op en day on conformity assessment in conju nction with the plenary which attracted more than 80 participants. The open day focused on the work of ISO/CASCO working groups (WGs) and recently published ISO/CASCO standards. Having the ISO/CASCO plenary in Bogotá f acilitated the participation from the Latin American and Caribbean regions in both the plenary and the workshop.
3 Topical issues currently being addressed in ISO/CASCO
As part of the activities for ensurin g good implementation of standard s ISO/CASCO drafted a proposal for the development of an International directory of organizations certified to ISO management systems standards which was presented to the CSC/SPC (document 04/2013) in January 2013. The strat egic issues raised by the CSC/SPC will be addr essed in a detailed business assessment of t he idea to be presented to Council in September 2013.
IAF-ILAC-ISO, recognizing the need to continue the momentum achieved to date with good implementation of standards, is updating a joint strategic plan for the perio d 2012 to 2 015. The plan contains 9 act ion points f irmly focused on goo d implementation of standards with actions for all three organizations.
ISO/CASCO has started an initiat ive to actively promote a harmonized approach t o conformity assessment activities based on the ISO/CASCO toolbox by developing a brochure for National Member Bodies (NMBs) intended for use with national
145
ANNEX 3 to DEVCO 05/2013 Report of ISO/CASCO to ISO/DEVCO July 2013 Page 2
16346657
regulators. At least one regional workshop in t he latter part of 2013 will be held on this subject. The possi bility of organizing oth er regional workshops in 2014 will depend on the success of the initial one.
Both, the insurance a nd aerospace sectors have been identified as important stakeholders in the con formity assessment arena and potentially signif icant users of the ISO/CASCO toolbox. Hence, ISO/CASCO is committed to promote the benefits of the toolbox to both of t hese sectors and invited them to participate in the Strateg ic Alliance and Regulatory group (STAR).
ISO/CASCO continues investigating ways of ensuring ade quate representation of stakeholders, industry, consumers and developing countries in ISO/CASCO activities, especially via the use of the WebEx for all its meetings.
Together with ISO’s Committee on Consumer Policy (COPOLCO) ISO/CASCO i s improving a process which will raise awareness and improve the current mechanism of handling complaints on impleme ntation of management system standards. Where a number of complaints have been received, ISO member bodies and local consumer organizations would be involved in the resolution of these complaints.
A brochure entitled Conformity Assessment for Standard Writers - Do's and Don'ts has been developed to assist bot h ISO/TCs' Chairs and Secretaries in applying clause 6.7 of the Dire ctives when dealing wit h conformity assessment neutrality issues.
ISO/CASCO completed its fifth year of managin g the ISO Survey of Certifications. The most recent survey results have been made available free of charge to everyon e for the first time and are available for downloading on the ISO website. The consistency of reporting between one year a nd the next would be considerably enhanced if there was a database of certificate s issued by accredited certifiers (as noted above).
4 On-going ISO/CASCO technical work

CONSUMER POLICY – REPORT FROM COPOLCO
COPOLCO has as one of its aims to support a wide base of participation by its members in consumer participation activities. As part of this goal it has continued to encourage the participation of developing countries by twinning of working group leadership and supporting regional cooperation. 1. COPOLCO meeting and related events
1.1 COPOLCO plenary meeting and workshop The 35th COPOLCO plenary meeting and related events took place in Valletta, Malta on 20-23 May 2013, at the invitation of the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority. In her keynote address at the international workshop on 21 May, Dr. Helena Dalli, Minister for Social Dialogue, Consumer Affairs and Civil Liberties, emphasized the importance of consumer education to consumer protection. Some 110 representatives of consumer associations, public authorities, businesses and national standards bodies from 30 countries and five international organizations participated in this event. See more news on ISO Online. ISO Vice-President (technical management) Dr. Elisabeth Stampfl-Blaha emphasized the increasing number of new projects in ISO's work programme and their relevance to consumers, in her keynote speech at the Plenary meeting (see dedicated audio news on ISO Online). 1.2 COPOLCO workshop emphasizes confidence and traceability
Recent high-profile food scandals have undermined public confidence and fuelled demand for local food sourcing and diversity, reliable labelling, traceability and reinforced market surveillance. Innovation means a more globally integrated economy and complex supply chains. New Web applications open access to information and increase transparency and power of choice for consumers. The benefit is greater choice. But the result is also more complex traceability and greater risk of fraud – either accidental or intentional, especially when market surveillance fails. At the ISO/COPOLCO workshop, Innovating food products, How can standards ensure consumer protection?, participants noted areas where standards add value and reduce negative effects of innovation. After a general discussion, the workshop focused on consumers’ priorities and standards in food safety and integrity. They examined certain national models and concluded that, with use of standards and the right type of market surveillance and oversight, it is possible to safeguard the authenticity of local culinary traditions while safeguarding public health and individual enterprise, such as food stalls. The participants further expressed emphatic support for applying the precautionary principle to food safety and integrity, as modelled in ISO 26000, Guidance on social responsibility. 2 Activities to support consumer concerns in developing countries
2.1 Participation in regional consumer-oriented events
The COPOLCO Chair and Secretary have participated in a number of consumer interest workshops in association with ISO events in developing countries. For example, the Chair participated in a regional consumer seminar hosted by ICONTEC in Bogota, Colombia in Octobe r 2012. There, she de livered presentations o n the stru cture, role a nd responsibilities of ISO COPOLCO and on standardization and consumer issues in Canada.
149
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 05/2013 Page 2
/15597216
The Chair a lso met in Nairobi with Ms Evah Oduor, KEBS Executive Director, and then newl y elected DEVCO Chair, while atten ding an IS O/TC 223 meeting. She participat ed in a regional meeting of the African Regional Standards Organization at the invitation of Hermogèn e Nsengimana. On April 23-24 2013, the COPOL CO Secretary participated as a guest speaker at a regional workshop of Asian COPOLCO me mbers, on the subject of stakeholder participation in standards development. The workshop was held in Kuala Lump ur and org anized by the Malaysian Association of Standards Users under the auspices of DSM. 2.2 Reinforcing the credibility of certification to ISO standards
In some countries, fraudulent use of ISO 9001 and other management system certificates continues to be an issue. The ISO Committee on conformity assessment has set up a CASCO/COPOLCO task force to find solutions. The COPOLCO Chair has worked actively with the Task Force on MSS complaints over the past year to address problems with consumer complaints about unaccredited certification to ISO 9001. She has consistently supported the position that the message to consumers must be more than “let the buyer beware” if consumers are to have the tools necessary to make informed purchasing decisions. Most recently the Chair provided input into a report from the Task Group to the CASCO Chairs and Policy Committee which provides a list of resources to National Standards Bodies; and suggests that they work with consumer organizations and the ISO Central Secretariat to publicize the complaints process transparently and to resolve complaints.
2.3 Consolidation of consumer participation and training
At its plenary meeting, COPOLCO decided to consolidate its training and consumer participation groups in order better to channel their activity. A long cycle of regional awareness-raising training workshops, followed by train-the-trainer workshops and their follow-up, is now over. The challenge remains to renew the pool of trainers in consumer interest participation and encourage them to continue national and regional training sessions to stimulate consumer interest in participation in National Standards Bodies' work. National and international experts are available to assist with training in this area.
DEVCO members who are interested in developing consumer issues are encouraged to request technical assistance for this, in the annual survey on Requests for Technical Assistance.
3 Awareness raising and training materials
3.1 ISO Consumer update newsletter
Since its launch in December 2009, COPOLCO has continued to add new subscribers to its electronic newsletter, ISO Consumer update. The newsletter communicates news, updates and useful information to members and their direct stakeholders in a lively but succinct fashion. ISO Consumer update now counts nearly 1900 subscribers for its English version. The newsletter contains news about COPOLCO events, current consultations and new publications, updates about International Standards and other documents of consumer interest. See back issues of ISO Consumer update on ISO Online for more information. 3.2 Updated online training module
ISO/COPOLCO) has updated its on-line introductory tutorial, Consumers and standards: partnership for a better world, in association with Consumers International. The tutorial is useful both to newcomers and to seasoned professionals from consumer organizations and standards bodies who are seeking to review concepts. The four sections can be completed within a few hours.
150
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 05/2013 Page 3
/15597216
Consumers and standards now contains a new section, "Practical suggestions for being an effective consumer representative" in addition to the following themes:
Standards in our world How standards benefit consumers Ensuring that consumers have their say in standards-writing What are consumers’ interests and how does ISO address them?
See www.iso.org/consumerstandards.
3.3 COPOLCO enters social media
ISO’s Strategic Plan 2011-2015 identifies improving stakeholder part icipation as an importan t strategic objective. In November 2012, ISO/COPOLCO launched a dedicated Web pa ge, "ISOConsumers" (see facebook.com/ISOConsumers). This complements ISO/COPOL CO’s current networks for maintaining contact with its members and conduct ing its b usiness. "ISOConsumers" supports and is connected to the ISO Facebook page within www.iso.org. "ISOConsumers" aims to build ISO's connection with the p ublic as well as members, provide a more personalized experience of ISO's work, and improve interaction between ISO and consumers on the Web. It also aims to raise aw areness of the benefits of standards for consumer protection, both within and outside of the ISO co mmunity. ISO/COPOLCO is also using Twitter t o connect with concerned individuals and org anizations interested in standards and consumer protection (twitter.com/ISOConsumers). In addition to providing a feedback channel, social media are useful for reaching out to a large audience to raise awareness of ISO and its role in consumer protection. 4 Consumer-facing international standards
ISO/TC 239 published ISO 14552, Network services billing – Requirements in July 2012. This standard resulted from a COPOL CO proposal. It provides international guidan ce to promote transparent billing practices, and a pplies to all types of net work services. It dea ls with bill ing formats and procedures, collect ion, effective systems of redress and inquiry, vulnerable customers, and interruption of service. The standar d's requirements cover metered, partially or non-metered services; and are adaptable to “smart” technologies. Two COPOLCO-originated international standa rds were p ublished in April 2013: ISO 10393, Consumer product safety – Guidance on product recall gives guidelines for recalling a defective product traded across borders and jurisdictions, managing legal risks, and building customer loyalty; ISO 10377, Consumer product safety – Guidelines for suppliers gives manufacturers the means to assess the risk of a consumer product throughout its life cycle. See more about these and other projects in th e May/June issue of ISO Focus+ featuring product safety. 5 COPOLCO Guides for standards-writers
ISO/COPOLCO published the revis ion of ISO/IEC Guide 37, Instructions for use of products by consumers, in December 2012. The revised version addresses new technological d evelopments and trends, such as th e wide use of the Inte rnet and rising cross-b order trade in consumer products – with attendant issues of translating instructions and consumer redress. Accessibility and universal design, reflecting use of consumer product s by consumers with a wider range of ages and skill levels, also figure prominently. ISO/COPOLCO is leading the revision of ISO/IEC Guide 50, Safety aspects – Guidelines for child safety. This work started early in 2012 and the newly-forme d ISO/IEC COPOLCO Joint Working Group 2 co mpleted a revised working draft early in 2013. The Committee Draft consultation
151
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 05/2013 Page 4
/15597216
began in April 2013. Comments will be addressed at a mee ting in New York on 9-11 Septembe r. The revision will likely be published in early 2014. For safety aspects in ge neral, ISO/IEC COPOLCO JWG 1 is revising ISO/IEC Guide 51, Safety aspects – Guidelines for their inclusion in standards. The Draft Guide enquiry is due to conclude in August, and a meeting will take place in Berlin in October. This Guide will likely be published in the first half of 2014. Both guides are widely referenced in ISO and IEC standards. Furthermore in IEC their use is mandatory. IEC has participated actively in the revision of both Guides. 6 Membership of COPOLCO
As at end July 2013, COPOLCO counted 112 members: 66 P-members and 46 O-members. The most recent member is HZN (Croatia), which joined COPOLCO as an "O" member in April 2013. 7 Next meeting
COPOLCO's next workshop and plenary meeting will take place in Geneva at the Mövenpick Hotel from 14-16 May 2014. DEVCO ACTION DEVCO is invited to note the above report.

DEVT/16351430
Evaluation of the ISO Action Plan for Developing Countries 2005-2010
Recommendation from evaluation
ISO actions to date
1. Focus on the members most in need
DEVCO CAG will discuss a new approach for assessing needs of members (see section 2 in the main report) All three categories of ISO members benefit from training and technical assistance activities
As from 2012, ISO is implementing an adapted version of the institutional strengthening methodology for LDCs
2. Ensure the relevance of activities
ISO has established a programmatic support agreement with Sida and has adopted the same approach with other donors (e.g. with GiZ). This means donor funds may be used to support all activities under the ISO Action Plan and not only specific ones that are judged priorities by the donor. DEVCO CAG monitors that needs of members and activities implemented under the Action Plan match.
3. Increase the impact of regional activities
See section 2.5 in the main report.
4. Long-term perspective on institutional strengthening (INS)
See section 2.4 in the main report.
5. Diversify funding See section 3 in the main report.
6. Cooperation with other agencies and donors
See section 5 in the main report.
7. Strengthen monitoring and evaluation.
See section 4 in the main report.
8. Adapt the ISO processes to the needs of developing countries
See section 2.1 in the main report.

ITEM 10 PRESENTATION OF THE THEMES AND BREAK-OUT INTO DISCUSSION GROUPS
Based on the feedback provided by DEVCO members through the survey questionnaire of last year’s meeting held in San Diego (USA), the DEVCO CAG has identified the following themes for discussion in the break-out groups:
Group 1: How can the strategic use of ISO standards drive quality, innovation and growth in developing countries? – Case examples - road traffic safety and energy management
Group 2: Enhancing the NSB role in the national quality infrastructure of developing countries
Group 3: How NSBs in developing countries reach out to national players (including government, local authorities, stakeholders) to apply ISO standards in emergency preparedness and incident management?
The DEVCO breakouts are scheduled to run in parallel on the Monday afternoon 16 September 2013. A preliminary programme in included Annex 1. Each group is chaired by a DEVCO CAG member and facilitated by an expert. To give focus to the discussions, the experts have prepared a background paper for each of the groups, included in Annexes 2 to 4. A number of invited speakers will contribute their views on the issues identified in the papers. The opinions and views expressed in the background papers are those of the designated authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of ISO. On the Tuesday morning 17 September, the breakout group chairs will report to DEVCO on the discussions of the previous day and the DEVCO CAG will further examine the reports at its meeting to be held on the same day, and decide on any follow-up action. The recommendations from the breakout groups constitute valuable guidance for the formulation of technical assistance and training activities implemented under the ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2011-2015. DEVCO ACTION DEVCO members are invited to attend the
breakout group of their choice

1. About this paper
International Standards are typically developed from the collective experiences of developed economies.
They provide guidance about how to best secure optimal economic, environmental and social benefits from
economic investment in infrastructure, new technologies and industry development. As a consequence, the
adoption of ISO standards by developing economies can be leveraged to close the gap with developing
economies in terms of economic output and global competitiveness.
Adoption of ISO Standards by developing economies, however, is not a simple matter of national process.
The flow of capital into these economies from numerous sources means that the national governments of
these economies often do not have full control of the investment and the related standards and practices
utilised in the development of associated infrastructure and technologies.
This short paper provides a perspective on the nature of the strategic challenge to ISO standards adoption in
developing economies. The paper provides a brief introduction to these issues (and foreshadows a series of
strategic actions that could be advanced in concert with international stakeholders to address these issues)
with a review to promoting further discussion on the use of ISO Standards within developing economies.
2. Strategic context
During 2012, developing economies actually accounted for a greater share of total global foreign direct
investment flow than developed economies (http://unctad.org/en/PublicationsLibrary/wir2013_en.pdf). While
part of this anomaly can be attributed to a crisis in world investor confidence given the volatility of markets
in developed economies, it nonetheless signals that the quantum of foreign investment in developing
economies is both substantial and increasing.
Further, these investment flows constitute a significant opportunity for developing economies in their quest
to lift gross national outputs and improve the living standards of their national populations. This flow of
foreign investment however, also constitutes a significant public interest risk for the populations of these
countries.
Foreign direct investment is often advanced outside of the policy and legislative frameworks of individual
countries. As a consequence, unfettered investment in infrastructure and industry development has the
potential to create adverse environmental and social consequences for the population of developing
countries in the medium to long term.
The adoption of ISO Standards in areas such as energy and transport infrastructure provides an opportunity
for developing economies to utilise the past experiences of developing economies to protect their
populations against these future risks.
Notwithstanding the potential benefits of ISO adoption by developing economies, there are a number of
challenges to ISO adoption. These challenges will need to be addressed with the assistance of the
international standards community and a variety of other international stakeholders if the benefits of ISO
Standards adoption are to be fully realised by developing economies.

3. Numerous issues but three principal challenges
The central premise of this paper is that there is considerable potential to drive quality innovation and
growth in developing economies using ISO Standards but that the practical realisation of this potential rests
with the collective ability of the international standards community to assist developing economies with the
implementation of these standards.
Specifically, the degree to which developing economies will likely realise the strategic benefits of ISO
Standards adoption will be dependent on the effective navigation of three principal challenges. These
challenges can be summarised as follows:
Managing the tension between the rightful pursuit of early economic outcomes and longer term societal
risks
Accommodating the inherent gaps in the knowledge and skill sets available in the labour forces of
developing economies
Influencing development standards and practices in spite of multiple sources of foreign capital
investment in infrastructure and industry development activity
4.1 Managing the inherent national tension between the economic development imperatives of a
developing economy and the wider societal imperatives relating to public safety and environmental
protection
Developed economies typically provide assistance to developing economies via government managed
international aid programmes, the operation of global financial institutions (e.g. World Bank) and via private
charitable foundations. In their drive to maximise the return from these capital investments, there is an
inherent motivation for the government of a developing economy to seek to maximise the economic returns
for its population.
Unless this motivation is tempered by genuine environmental and social considerations at the time the
investment is made, there is a significant risk that the national population may experience negative
environmental and social outcomes in the longer term.
The provision of international funding to a developing economy for the development of national energy
infrastructure, for example, would likely result in the national government seeking to minimise the unit costs
of infrastructure in an effort to maximise community access to this infrastructure. Unless this drive to reduce
unit costs is tempered by public safety considerations, the net outcome of this investment could be an
increase in the loss of life (as a result of electrical shock incidents from unsafe infrastructure) or loss of
property (as a result of increased fire frequency from substandard infrastructure).
While ISO Standards provide a solution to this problem by setting out the minimum design requirements for
energy infrastructure, there is a need to develop appropriate mechanisms for ensuring that the governments
of developing economies are somehow obligated to adopt ISO standards in the design and delivery of new
public infrastructure, such as new energy networks and transport systems.
171

4.2 Accommodating likely gaps in the knowledge and technical competence of the workforces in developing
economies)
The majority of ISO Standards have been developed from the sharing of knowledge and skills amongst
developed economies. As the workforces of these economies have become more skilled and technology has
advanced, ISO Standards have been similarly modified to take advantage of the new knowledge that has
been developed.
By their very nature, developing economies will not have access to the same higher level knowledge and
labour force skills that are available in developed economies. As a consequence, the practical capacity of
developing economies to fully implement contemporary ISO standards is likely to be constrained.
The design and construction of road traffic safety management systems, for example, is an area where
adoption of ISO Standards requires application of specialist skills and knowledge if the full community
benefits of investment in these systems is to be realised by the national community. As a consequence, the
adoption of ISO Standards in developing economies may need to be supported by parallel initiatives that
seek to equip these economies with the knowledge and labour force skills required to support sound ISO
Standards implementation.
4.3 Effective management of development standards and practices given multiple sources of foreign capital
inflows
A challenge that is particularly acute in the case of developing economies concerns the reduced ability of
national governments to influence development practices and standards, given that much of this
development is financed and controlled by foreign interests (e.g. foreign governments providing aid or
multinational corporations). This issue is particularly acute with respect to foreign investment in national
infrastructure and new industry creation.
The net impact of this investment characteristic is that developing economies are often beholden to the
funding provider with respect to the standards and practices that are applied in the development of public
infrastructure and new industries. They therefore have limited ability to subject these projects and initiatives
to ISO requirements on their own.
5 A possible framework for ISO adoption challenges in developing economies
It is suggested that the international standards community could greatly assist developing economies with
the adoption of ISO Standards. Such assistance might take the form of a series of strategic actions that
include, but are in no way limited to, the actions presented below.
5.1 Ensure global funding mechanisms used to support investment in developing economies incorporate a
requirement of adoption of ISO Standards
The majority of capital flows into developing economies occur via international aid programmes and the
operations of the World Bank. At present, both the quantum of funding provided and the delivery
requirements do not take explicit account of relevant international standards.
172

5 | P a g e
Such a deficiency constitutes a community risk for the developing economy and a moral hazard for the
funding provider. It is suggested that these two issues could be alleviated if ISO was to work with the
providers of capital to developing countries (especially infrastructure capital) with a view to ensuring that
future funding initiatives stipulate a requirement for ISO standards adoption.
5.2 Work cooperatively with the national governments of developing economies to promote awareness of
the benefits of ISO standards adoption, particularly in terms of using these standards as a means of
avoiding negative environmental and social consequences of infrastructure development.
The national governments of developed countries rightly prioritise the development of economic enterprise,
with a view to lifting the affluence of their population in the immediate term. Many of these governments,
however, have no direct experience with the complex social and environment risks that are typically
inherent in development activity.
The governments of developed economies could assist with this issue via the sharing of past experiences
with unfettered industry and infrastructure development. This assistance might take the form of joint policy
forums where the governments of developed economies proactively share policy experiences and
knowledge of legislative instruments that have been historically used to mitigate against the adverse
environmental and social consequences of infrastructure and industry development in their own economies.
5.3 Encourage global corporates to adopt ISO Standards when establishing new markets in developing
countries.
Global corporations often play a significant role in the economic growth of developing countries, largely via
the creation of employment. Recent events in some countries (e.g. the loss of life in Bangladesh’s clothing
industry) have highlighted the fact that the failure of corporates to consider the need for minimum
infrastructure standards can create significant public interest risks for national communities.
It is therefore suggested that there is a significant opportunity to promote the greater uptake of ISO
Standards in developing countries by working co-operatively with multinational corporates to develop a
charter (and supporting commitments) for ISO Standards adoption in future activities in developing
countries.
5.4 Promote skills sharing and training development initiatives in parallel with ISO standards adoption.
The practical adoption of ISO Standards by developing countries requires access to specific knowledge and
skill sets – some of which may not exist in the labour force of developing economies. Accordingly, the ISO
community could potentially assist developing economies by developing companion guideline documents for
key ISO standards that essentially detail the minimum knowledge and skills needed to support sound
implementation of such standards.
Further, mechanisms could be developed to promote the sharing of these necessary skills via training
partnerships struck between developed economies and developing economies. Such an approach would not
necessarily mean that ISO would be the provider of skill development services but rather, the ISO might
operate as the facilitator of skill development by promoting knowledge transfer between national
governments.

6 Summary
The central premise of this paper is that developing economies will only realise the full benefits of ISO
Standards adoption if they are assisted with the implementation of these standards. Specifically, there is a
need for developed economies to assist developing economies by:
a) Working with the governments of these economies to help them manage the inherent tension between
early realisation of economic gains from industry and infrastructure investment and the minimisation of
environmental and social risks.
b) Providing developing economies with access to the high order knowledge and skills sets necessary for
the meaningful adoption of ISO standards, particularly in the area of infrastructure development and
industry development.
It is envisaged that the above assistance could be advanced under a strategic framework comprising four
discrete but inter-related actions, as outlined in the strategic framework summarised in Figure 1. The key
challenge for the International Standards community will be to develop a systematic approach that advances
these and other actions with a view to helping developing economies realise the full benefits of ISO
Standards adoption in the future.

Background paper for discussion group 2 on Enhancing the NSB role in the national quality infrastructure of developing countries
by Graham Holloway, Consultant
1. Introduction
National Standards Bodies (NSBs) have been established in most developing countries as part of a complex infrastructure designed to facilitate those countries’ access to markets, to participate on level terms in the global trading system, to provide a national focal point for quality and to assist in the development of regulatory and other measures aimed at assuring consumer protection and the promotion of health and safety in the workplace, environmental protection and other desirable outcomes. In some countries, the infrastructure is a diverse mix of institutions, some government-sponsored, some private, while in others most of the necessary functions are vested in a unitary organization, often for reasons of the optimization of the use of scarce resources. In a number of least-developed countries, the NSB is essentially a “standards office” in a government department, tasked with managing the necessary functions until resources permit the establishment of more dedicated institutions. NSBs thus fall into a continuum of sophistication, ranging from the rudimentary to the advanced. Regardless of the national infrastructure, the linkages between its building blocks and the needs to be satisfied are essentially the same from one country to another:
(Source: ISO/UNIDO – “Fast forward”)
177
ANNEX 3 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 2
DEVT/ 16346360
In line with the variety of structural models that exist from country to country, it is not surprising to find that there are a number of different funding arrangements used to support the quality infrastructure, and the funding of the NSB is usually central to the debate. Where central government has established a unitary organization responsible for standards, metrology, conformity assessment and sometimes other elements, it is common for the organization to be funded significantly, if not totally, by government. While this might seem to be an idyllic situation, it can come at a price, because
the NSB and all of its component departments are reliant on essentially one income stream;
that income stream can never be assumed to be sustainable, especially in times of global economic uncertainty;
governments and Ministers change from time to time, and so do their priorities; natural disasters and economic crises can change funding priorities dramatically; in some cases an NSB receives funding from one Ministry and falls technically under
another, with the result that the NSBs have to report to more than one Ministry, often against different criteria;
the NSB can suffer from an identity crisis whereby it has to satisfy the requirements of its chief sponsor, in some cases in direct contrast to the wishes of its other stakeholders such as industry, consumers, etc.;
the recruitment and retention of the right level of qualified staff under government recruitment and remuneration practices is frequently challenging for an organization that does not resemble the typical government department; and
in many cases, even where central government, through one Ministry has established an NSB, other Ministries often fail to use its services when it comes to assisting with regulation, meeting urgent health or safety-related challenges, etc.
There is thus often the perception in the marketplace for standards and related services that the NSB is slow to react, somewhat out of touch, and too closely attached to government to be as responsive to the needs of the market as it should be. On the other hand, the managements of the same NSBs will frequently complain that their masters in government do not really know or understand what the NSB is doing, are always far too busy doing other things to spend time liaising with the NSB, and the key contact people within government, including the Ministers, are changing too often to care! In addition, in a number of developing countries the NSBs are still labouring under empowering laws that pre-date the establishment of the WTO or that are otherwise obsolete, and are powerless to reinvent themselves until new laws can be passed through central government. This has led in some extreme cases to NSBs feeling the need to operate in the best interests of their communities, especially in the consumer protection field, but without any valid legal empowerment to do so. Added to the above less-than-perfect scenario is the often unrealistic advice given to governments that the functions of the NSB should be split up into numerous disparate organizations to rule out conflicts of interest and thereby satisfy the requirements of “international best practice”. While such advice might be based on technically correct premises, it is frequently not presented in a balanced fashion or is misunderstood by governments, who have been known to rush into separating the operations of a well-functioning institution into a number of new institutions that do not have time to establish themselves properly or to build up a sound support base before being expected to perform at full speed and to meet unrealistic and unjustified targets. It is not unknown for instructions to be given to a newly-established NSB to “produce 2500 national standards in the first year” with ten staff members (all new) or to “increase standards production by 20 % per annum” (because standards are good, and therefore more standards must be better …).
178
ANNEX 3 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 3
DEVT/ 16346360
Clearly there is in some instances a disconnect between the well-meaning intent of government to have a quality infrastructure that works and the knowledge, sometimes vested in the NSB but sometimes not, that there is a right and often many wrong ways to get things done. NSBs need to promote their services to all sectors of society, not least the sectors that support them. Furthermore, they need to find ways to ensure that they are playing a full part in the national quality and consumer protection debate. This can and should involve an element of “training those who give you instructions”! Members of governance structures of NSBs such as the ruling Councils or Management Boards are often appointed with little or no understanding of the role of an NSB, and often become too involved in the operational minutiae of the running of the NSB rather than in assisting it to set and achieve strategically meaningful goals. Where an NSB is not financed by government, the situation is often no better; government departments that need to establish regulations very often do not see the wisdom of using the services of the NSB (because it is not a government institution), and if the NSB is partly financed by subscriptions or grants from industry, there is always the risk of conflicts of interest. There is insufficient income from the sale of standards or from the provision of training to cover costs, yet if the NSB supports itself by using income from commercial activities such as certification and testing, or from legal metrology or the “policing” of some mandatory standards, it runs the risk of being accused of “writing the rules, being the policeman, judge, jury and executioner” - and even where this is not yet the case, it is a possible scenario that is always on the horizon. There is thus a need for NSBs in developing countries to seek to raise their profile both within government circles and within the broader community of users of standards-related services, including amongst consumers, and this DEVCO Discussion Group is aimed at identifying ways in which this should be done.
2. Core issues for discussion Based on the above background analysis, a number of issues have been identified, that are intended to facilitate the discussions in Discussion Group 2. These are discussed briefly below and are given in Table 1 along with a number of key questions designed to stimulate debate. At the discussion group, a number of panellists have been invited to make short presentations on some or all of these issues. An open discussion will then follow, with a view to capturing novel ideas that can be used by a variety of NSBs to raise their profile and assist them to play a larger part in the quality infrastructure of their countries. Issue No. 1: The need to better promote the services of NSBs (and especially modern best practices in technical regulation) to governments, test houses and certification bodies Demand for an NSB’s services, and therefore the part the NSB plays in the quality infrastructure, can be stimulated by a combination of supply-side “push” strategies and demand-led “pull” strategies. Conventional marketing techniques are often just as applicable to increasing the uptake of the services of an NSB as they are to a company that manufactures products for the marketplace. If the NSB is seen as a “manufacturer” or supplier of products and services, it can use normal marketing techniques to enhance the demand within intermediary organizations like test houses, certification bodies, government departments etc. These intermediary organizations already have customers who demand their services (such as consumers, industry, and commercial businesses) and should readily increase their own demand for the NSB’s services once they a) become fully aware of them and b) start to trust them. There is thus a case to be made for marketing techniques to be used by NSB’s in “pushing” their products and services more effectively into the market by a combination of
179
ANNEX 3 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 4
DEVT/ 16346360
innovative “product” design; more modern ways of making the product available; market-related pricing for the NSB’s products and services; and creative promotional campaigns aimed at raising awareness of, and creating trust in
what the NSB does
Source: Marketing Management, Kotler, 1994
Issue No. 2: Creating greater demand for the NSB’s services by appealing to the end consumer’s needs By the same token, stimulation of demand from the end consumer will automatically trickle through to raising the profile of an NSB, but this requires that the NSB position itself as a guardian of quality, a protector of the consumer, and a trusted and consistent business partner. Developing the necessary level of trust can take years, but support for SMEs and for organized consumer bodies can pay off handsomely in the medium to long term. Many NSB managements and ruling Councils fail to fully appreciate the strength of their “brand identity”, and therefore fail to exploit it. Issue no.3: Capitalizing on international agreements Most NSBs in the developing world suffer from resource limitations, and where those resources come from government this can ultimately only be attributed to the lack of belief in government that greater investment in the NSB will be worthwhile and will lead to greater economic and social benefits for the nation, whether in terms of increased market access for manufacturers and exporters, or enhanced quality consciousness, or greater levels of consumer and environmental protection. It is no coincidence that developing country NSBs find that they are unable to participate as much as they would like in international standardization owing to, among other things, a continual shortage of funds. The WTO-TBT Agreement requires members to
180
ANNEX 3 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 5
DEVT/ 16346360
“play a full part, within the limits of its resources, in the preparation by relevant international standardizing bodies of international standards regarding subject matter for which it either has adopted, or expects to adopt, standards” and yet most NSBs seem to fail to convince governments to support their efforts to increase their international participation. Without any increase in that international involvement in setting standards, developing countries will continue to be standards-takers. Issue no.4: Working smarter within a region Regional standards organizations exist, yet in many cases they limit their activities to regional harmonization in support of political grouping or free trade areas, without addressing the best ways to assist the region to make its voice heard in the international standards environment. Improving regional coordination of international participation will, via a “push” approach, eventually translate into a raised profile and greater demand for the services of all the NSBs in the region. Issue no. 5: Train those who set your agenda … “Make it clear what you want. Most bosses can’t support their employees even if they want to. Because they have no real idea what their employees want. And to a large extent, it’s the employees’ problem, because they do a lousy job at communicating what they want.” (Edward Ezeanu, “People skills”) The same applies to government officials, their departments, to NSB Councils, Boards of Directors and any other governance structure that is applied to an NSB. There has to be a way in which they can be encouraged and assisted to understand the issues through the eyes of an experienced standardizer ! Issue no.6: How can ISO help ? ISO provides numerous training and assistance measures aimed at improving the way its members do business. Recent innovations include programme for encouraging the setting of national standardization strategies, for improving stakeholder engagement and for strengthening the NSB at the institutional level. What more can or should be done at the ISO level for its members ?

Background paper for discussion group 3 on How NSBs in developing countries reach out to national players to apply ISO Standards in Emergency preparedness and incident management
by Prof. Ernst-Peter Döbbeling
ThenationalandinternationalcontextDisasters hit countries without asking whether they are developed or not. Hurricane Katrina in USA,
Flooding in Germany or Pakistan, Tsunami in Japan, Earthquake in China, Forest fires in Indonesia,
collapsing building in Bangladesh or drought in Ethiopia. Disasters raise the interest of the international
community; trigger relief actions of the UN Organization, countries and NGOs International media report
for some days with high intensity on victims, damage and loss of values but then interest goes to the next
highlight and the problems remain to the concerned countries or regions.
When asking people what expectation they have in disaster there you may find contrary answers:
‐ My government shall do everything for my protection before, during and after an incident.
It’s not my responsibility to prepare myself.
‐ My Government will not care at all for my protection. It’s my responsibility, I have to
prepare myself for potential risks.
These extreme points of view may be typical for developed respective developing countries. Especially in
Europe the population expects to be secured by authorities and seems to lose more and more the self‐
protection and self‐rescue capacity. Peoples living in cities are often helpless and lost when for example
electricity or drinking water supply fail for a few hours. People cannot understand that the perfectly
organized society with administrative structures and responsibilities and well organized emergency
systems may fail. In developing countries people are much more adapted to instable infrastructures and
used to help themselves or to know alternative solutions. Nevertheless all countries should have structures
and agencies that ensure an effective emergency management because the protection of a population
from harm is a social obligation. The key question is what level of incident response is needed to protect
and is a community or country able to afford this economically?
StakeholdersandGroupsofinterestISO delivers standards for products, services, quality or safety/security. The standards of TC 223 are not
product or service standards in the general sense of industries rather the standards are management
standards and guidelines to improve quality of safety/security and related services. The stakeholders of
some standards are industries but also organizations which are involved in public safety, emergency
planning, incident response and training. Therefore an important group of stakeholders are public
authorities and private actors in these fields. ISO offers with the family of 223 standards neutral documents
which are not driven by political or economic interests but are the results of a consensus driven process
where developing and developed countries have set at one table.
ISOTC223“SocietalSecurity”The ISO TC 223 “Societal Security” is actively working since 2006. Even there is no common definition on
what is “Societal Security” the scope of the TC 223 defines its objectives as follows:
ISO/TC 223 develops International standards that aim to increase societal security, i.e. protection of society from and
response to incidents, emergencies, and disasters caused by intentional and unintentional human acts, natural
183
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 2
DEVT/ 16352652
hazards, and technical failures. An all‐hazards perspective is used covering adaptive, proactive and reactive strategies
in all phases before, during and after a disruptive incident. The area of societal security is multi‐disciplinary and
involves actors from both the public and private sectors, including not‐for‐profit organizations.
If you ask people what they include in the term societal security you get a wide range of items from
military security forces, to police, to incident responders, to stability of political systems up to the
individual feeling of being secure when going home late in the evening in your city. ISO TC 223 cannot meet
all these different views and expectations. The committee has limited his focus on societal vulnerabilities
and disruptive events which can affect the population, critical infrastructure, industry and commerce.
Figure 1 shows how the different activities create the overall reaction to disruptive events in ISO 223.
Figure 1: The follow up of Emergency, Continuity and Recovery in a disaster
Within this limits the TC 223 has identified the core needs of how to prepare for disruptive events in order
to manage as best as possible any type of disaster or crisis.
ISO Standards give advice and support to a variety of safety and security matters but there exist also
regulation outside the ISO Organization as for example for drinking water quality and security or pandemic
preparedness of WHO. The following ISO Standards are available or are in development:
• Risk management
ISO 31000/31010 Risk management
• Business Continuity / Resilience
ISO 22301/22313 Business Continuity Management
ISO 22398 Guidelines for Exercises
ISO 22323 Organizational Resilience
ISO 223397 Agreements among organizations
• Emergency management
ISO 22320 Incident response
ISO 22322 Public Warning
ISO 22324 Color Codes for Warning
ISO 22325 Emergency Capability Assessment
ISO TR 22351 Data Codes for Interoperability
ISO 22315 Mass Evacuation
The standards of TC 223 have two main audiences. One is industry and commerce with the group of
standards for Business continuity and Organizational resilience. The other is emergency management
184
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 3
DEVT/ 16352652
which is related to public authorities and services. In between there are standards which have links to both
sides as for example “Agreements among organizations” or “Guidelines for exercises”.
It is obvious that Emergency management or business continuity Management have to include and to
consider not only the main population of a country but also people with different forms of handicaps.
Emergency management cannot always take in account all needs but emergency planning and risk
awareness should always consider the different vulnerabilities of groups and individuals in a risk area.
BusinesscontinuitymanagementandEmergencymanagementBusiness continuity refers to industry and commerce and is more or less synonymic with Operational
continuity which is more general and applicable to any organization or process. Business continuity
management is the holistic management process that identifies potential threats to an organization and
the impacts to business operations those threats, if realized, might cause, and which provides a framework
for building organizational resilience with the capability of an effective response that safeguards the
interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value‐creating activities.
“Emergency management” can be defined differently according to the language, nationality, organization
or legal regulations involved. In ISO Standard 22320, emergency management is the overall approach for
preventing and managing emergencies. In most of the countries Emergency management is in full
responsibility of states authorities. The implementation of Emergency management normally implies the
existence of a respective legal framework. An ISO standard does never intent to replace such a national
legislation nor should a national accepted standard be in conflict with. Therefore the ISO standards of the
Emergency management family only give guidance, show international best praxis and support the
development of Emergency management in a country, a region or in a community.
As well of high importance is the continuity of vital functions of the society as for example water, energy,
health system, administration, financial services or public transport. Herein the Business continuity process
and the public process are linked. Without the functioning of vital functions a breakdown of the economic
system with middle or long term disadvantages is possible. This may conduct to a major loss of private
income, companies benefit or governmental finances.
ThesequenceofadisruptiveeventwiththreephasesBoth, Business Continuity and Emergency management, consist of three phases in a disruptive event
(before, during and after) as show in figure 2. In general, both utilize a risk‐orientated approach. Incidents
can be caused by natural, industrial, or unintentional or intentional (criminal or terroristic) man‐made
disasters and the consequences can be seen independently from their original causes. For example the
breakdown of a drinking water system can have natural, man‐made technical or a terroristic source, but
the countermeasures to limit the consequences for the population are very similar.

Figure 2: The Phases and activities of Emergency Management “Before” includes the risk analysis and risk diminution by prevention measures and the risk communication to people who might be concerned. The objective is to create resilience against the identified risks. Depending on the residual risk, the given vulnerability of people at risk, industry and critical infrastructure a defined level of preparedness is necessary in order to manage disruptive of events. Main items of preparedness are planning according to identified risks, preparedness of incident response and information of the public about risks and planned measures against. “During” starts with the impact and includes warning of people at risk, activation of incident response on a level which is necessary, command and control, information and communication on the different hierarchical levels from local to national and of course the intervention of rescue and relief forces to save people, mitigate negatives effects and prevent critical infrastructures from collapsing. “After” includes operational continuity and the transition to recovery. Many disasters show a relative short phase of immediate rescue operations but when people have reached a safe area Emergency management has to ensure basic human needs which are the phase of continuity as for example drinking water, food, shelter or family regrouping are essential for the concerned people. Only when this continuity process had been planned as part of the overall emergency management process the whole will be successful. At the end “recovery” is the way back to normal conditions and it is normally not part of emergency management. From the sequence perspective it is very important to know how to identify the real (residual) risk and the vulnerability of the local population and how to make a planning for emergency, continuity and recovery measures.
Example:ThecriticalinfrastructureofpotablewatersupplyA typical and often happened disruptive incident is the interruption of the potable water supply of communities. The origin of this failure might be the physical interruption of a central delivery line, the electrical black out of pumps or the identification of noxious bacteria, which oblige to stop the water distribution and to desinfect the water line system. Such a disruptive incident has serious effect not only on people’s life but also on all companies which use water from water lines for their production as cooling water, process water or product water. Not to forget the amount of water indispensable for hygienic purposes (showers, toilets etc.).
PreparednessandplanningSeveral standards of ISO 223 family support effective emergency preparedness. For the private sector
“Business continuity management” specifies requirements to plan and establish a management system to
protect against, reduce the likelihood of occurrence, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents as
186
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 5
DEVT/ 16352652
an interruption of water supply. A Business continuity plan will help a company to survive a disruptive
event in being prepared, knowing the key elements of the business and have alternatives when the normal
business is disturbed.
Thus a company should identify it’s dependencies of public water supply, evaluate the minimum amount of
water consumption to continue, how long an interruption can be tolerated and at what interruption time
production has to be stopped in order to avoid damage of machines (missing cooling water) or missing
water for processes.
Public emergency preparedness has mainly to consider the water needs of the population but should also
take in consideration special installation as hospitals as well as industrial consumptions. When water
supply is stopped because of health reasons the information and warning of all consumers with advice how
to behave is of high priority to prevent illness. It is a great challenge to get this information spread in short
time to all consumers concerned.
The ISO TC 223 standardization respects these main items by elaboration of standards on Public Warning,
Mass Evacuation, Color Codes for Warning and Guidelines for Exercises. A standard on Emergency
capability assessment will provide guidance on how good is the preparedness for a certain risk.
IncidentresponseandcooperationIncident response comprises actions to stop the causes of an imminent hazard, and/ or mitigate the
consequences of destabilizing or disruptive events, and/or recover. These events include natural disasters,
terrorist threats, poor IT security or an industrial fire disrupting the product chain. The main activities of an
incident response are:
− Warning of the public
− Alerting and activation of incident response
− Command and control, information, coordination and cooperation
− Save lives and mitigate negative effects on values and environment
− Stabilization of the situation for continuity and recovery
Incident response according to the ISO Standard is applicable in public or private sectors where fast
decision making, often without complete information, is needed. “Command and control” has its origin in
military and police terminology. In standardization it is a more generic term for target‐orientated Incident
response and well understood by practitioners all over the world.
Looking at the problem of potable water supply the standard ISO 22320 gives examples for typical roles
and responsibilities, of course adapted to the local and legal framework of incident response, to have a
functional and efficient organization to manage the incident. Most emergencies suffer under the lack of
appropriate decision making, therefore the standard gives a guideline how to identify and define incident
response levels; how to implement structured command and control according to political, strategic and
tactical needs and how to create a response system which is scalable to different incident types and sizes.
As it was said before a potable water breakdown needs the involvement of many groups, private and
public companies and the health organization so that the right assembling of the crisis management is
essential for success. Figure 3 shows how intensive communication among involved actors has to be done
in order to create a common operational picture on that was happened and where incident response
action is urgent.
187
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 6
DEVT/ 16352652
Figure 3: The communication needs of multi‐organizational decision making . Today in many countries water supply is not anymore in the hands of public services but in that of private
companies (as well as electricity or gas). Hence cooperation which is the process of working or acting
together for common interests and values based on agreement and not by hierarchical obligation,
becomes more and more important.
A breakdown of the potable water supply is not manageable only with hierarchical coordination but good
partnership and cooperation of the different actors. The ISO Standard on “Agreements among
Organizations “ gives guidance in which may for example private and public organizations (Community and
private water supply company) can prepare for a potable water supply interruption by defining how to
implement a common crisis management and how conjoint public information can be given .
ContinuityManagementOperational or business continuity planning is of high importance in a community as well as in industries.
Continuity planning for infrastructures and administrative tasks strengths enormously the confidence of
the population in states authorities as well as the confidence of stakeholders into the management of a
company. The continuity management has as objectives the transition from rescue / first respond modus
to continuity modus where the situation becomes stabilized for the next days or weeks. This includes for
people for example shelter, drinking water, food and medical service. Also the social coherence of
communities and family reunion are important elements. The better and the faster the change from
incident response to continuity management works the better a disruptive event can be managed
completely.
In the example of potable water interruption the continuity phase focusses on the water delivery for the
next days on a minimum need and on priorities. Alternatives for delivery have to be elaborated as for
example mobile tank systems, tank trucks, open water resources as rivers and lakes, water in bottles etc..
These alternatives depend on the available means and the needs (e.g. weather conditions, structure of the
population). It has to be checked by the emergency management including logistics and transport and
hygienic safety. The wider the impacted area and the greater the number of people concerned the more
important is the coordination of local emergency management organizations and the cooperation with
private partners who can deliver bottled water. It is obvious that such operations work much better if
there had been done operational continuity reflections and planning in advance.
188
ANNEX 4 to DEVCO 08/2013 Page 7
DEVT/ 16352652
RecoveryFinally the continuity process is the link to the recovery process. Recovery to normal life depends on
resources and is sometimes a time and finance consuming process. Thus a good continuity process may
save resources that are important for recovery and the continuity of commerce and business reduces the
need of governmental activities or relief from outside.
TopicsforthediscussionAs conclusion from the above background analysis a number of key questions based on the exemplary
incident of the interruption of potable water supply are open for discussion in group 3. The auditory should
be motivated to reflect the situation in the different countries and how emergency management would try
to manage this exemplary situation and how the present situation could be improved by ISO Standards.
The objective of the session should be to understand that in principle
‐ All different disruptive incidents need similar processes and management structures.
‐ Risk related preparedness and planning is indispensable
‐ Crisis management should consider public and private needs
‐ The education, information and warning of the population is important
‐ The initial incident response must lead into a continuity process without interruption

Background paper for Panel session: The effectiveness of technical assistance provided by ISO – How to measure performance improvement in members who receive technical assistance?
By Jens Andersson, Consultant
INTRODUCTION
As a provider of technical assistance, ISO is part of the wider development community. As su ch ISO and its me mbers are affected by international trends that influences the delivery and bes t practices of aid.
First, globalisation has led to a massive incre ase of glob al financial flows. World goods an d services exports have tripled the last decade.1 Remittances and FDI (foreign direct investment) are at par or s urpass traditional aid even in low-i ncome countries.2 Growth in deve loping regions combined with stagnatio n in the OECD countries has in recent decades been reshaping global power balances. The im portance of South-South trading and aid links ar e increasing. In parallel, philanthropic sources of development finance – such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundatio n – have become increasingly active. In addit ion, financial a usterity puts a downw ard pressure on traditional aid donor countries 3, which may affe ct the lowest income countries in particular.4 All together developing countries are now offered an incr easingly broad choice of external development finance. The challenge is for countries to cho ose wisely between these sources a nd deal with the specific character and conditions of the different sources.
Second, countries are confronted with diverse challeng es to man age their development trajectories. Even though great progress has been made in terms of global poverty reduction and social well-being poverty remains widespread in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia .5 Important inequalities re main within countries, f or example around thre e-quarters of the world’s extremely poor people live in middle income countries. 6 As countries g row and their economies are becoming more complex they are increa singly being confronted with the d ouble task of promoting entrepreneurship and social cohesion in order t o achieve sustainable and inclusive growth. Improved governance and public sector reform should be at th e centre of these efforts as emphasised by the recent report of the High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.7
Third, development cooperation is trying to reinvent itself to increase the effect iveness of aid following disappointment with its performance. This effort should also been seen in the perspective of the general push to increase the performance of public service since the 1980’s based on the ideas of ‘New Public Management’. The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness was adopted by partners and donors in March 2005. It sets out five commitments of partnership within the context of development cooperation: i) co untry ownership; ii) alignment of d onor activities to partner

priorities and structures; iii) harmonisation of donor activities; iv) managing for r esults; and v) mutual accountability.8
With these international trends as a background the rest of this paper will discuss a set of issues relating to ISO’s provision of technical assistance and measurement of its performance.
ISSUE 1: ISO’S TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AS PART OF DOMESTIC REFORM An effective National St andards Body (NSB) is part and parcel of a f unctioning national quality infrastructure. As such the NSB is a n integral part of a large set of private and public actors th at oversee markets and provides services to a count ry’s enterprises and cit izens. The importance of standards for a functioning market economy and the well-being of the populatio n need not be elaborated on here. The point is that the NSB is part of a broader context and that standardisation looks very differently depending on t he current set-up of a country’s national quality infrastructure. In many countries there is a refor m process in place that aims to mo dernise the national quality infrastructure. From a technical assistance perspective such a process can be described to involve progress in at least five areas:
(i) Legislation (ii) Policy (iii) Coordination and stakeholder involvement (iv) Organisational and individual mandates and capacities (v) Awareness-raising towards enterprises and the general public
Reform is usually a slo w and complex matter, in particular in poor capacity environments. Vested interests are involved and there is u ncertainty and different views as to the direction of reform. A clear vision from go vernment or key actors is needed to drive reform a nd overcome opposition . Technical assistance has an important role to play in p aving the way for ref orm by raising awareness, enhance capacities and provide technical input. However, there are limits to what can be achieved by external assistance. Ultimately, it is the cou ntry and its stakeholders that are in charge of t he reform process and decides on progress. The implication is that I SO’s technical assistance needs to be provided in the spirit of partnership and be embedded in the reform processes of the ben eficiary countries involved. This insight is needed to u nderstand how technical assistance sh ould be delivered and what results that can be expected from different types of support.
A natural focus of technical assistance to quality infrastructure and standardisation is on reforming and developing the core competences of some key public and private agencies and organisations. The public and SME’s may feature mainly as targets of media campaigns on the importance of standardisation. The benefit to individual citizen s and SME’s are mainly indirect through improved standardisation and a better functioning market economy. However, given that larg e shares of the population (and economic activity) in developi ng countries live in po verty or are excluded from participating in the formal sector there may be a need to including social issues to a greater extent even in technical a ssistance of se emingly very technical nature. What does increased use of standards mean to diff erent vulnerable groups? Is there an urban/rural bias? Are there gen der aspects that need to be considered? Do SMEs need specific support? How can consumer groups be strengthened? Even if direct su pport to these groups a re beyond the scope of most technical assistance activities, one possible approach is to produce impact assessments that ma y inform the design of activities.

ISSUE 2: SELECTING THE TYPE OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Looking at the five ref orm areas mentioned above it is clear that different types of technical assistance are suitable for different objectives. There is a wide range of possible activities ranging from e-training to comprehensive support to reform of the national qu ality infrastructure. When discussing technical assistance it is useful to distinguish between individual, organisational and institutional capacities as shown in the matrix.
Capacity level Potential technical assistance activities
Individual External training, workshops, seminars, study tours
Organisational In-house training, train ing of trainers, technical assistan ce to change structures and procedures
Institutional Technical assistance to draft legislation and policie s, advocacy and awareness-raising
Different donors have different possibilities to provide s upport depending on priorities an d resources. As an inter national member based organisatio n ISO is fa ced with th e challenge to reach out to its numerous members as effectively as possible given its limited human and financial resources. In the 2005-2010 Action Plan, ISO’s technical a ssistance was predominately centred on the individual level with training, seminars and workshops. This is qu ite natural given that this may be a cost-effective way to leverage resources. However, the results in terms of organisational and institutional changes are dependent on the participant s bringing back their knowledge to the organisations and act to improve the way they and their organisatio ns work. For a technical organisation as ISO these events are importa nt occasions of learning and for s ome the on ly window to the outside world, colleagues in ot her countries and best- practice. May of cours e benefit organisation in particular if r epeated and many participan ts from same organisation/country, but direct impact is with the individual.
The realisation of a need for deeper interaction with members may be behind the IS O Institutional Strengthening (INS) programme that involves the identificat ion of needs so as to draw up a list of priority actions, which are then addressed thr ough the delivery of ISO technical assistance. A review of the first 19 n eeds assessments con firm the point made above of the importance of accounting for institutional gaps, such as lack of legislation or quality policy.
A particularly interesting aspect of I SO is the potential for capacity building that comes with ISO membership itself. Like other international member driven o rganisations, ISO has a central role in the international standardisation community. As such ISO p rovides a platform for n etworking and best-practice for the standardisation community. Participation in the technical work also provides important learning possibilities on an on-going basis. This gives a context that can potential ly increase the effectiveness of ISO’s technical assistance beyond the technical assist ance activities themselves. This be ing said it is a challenging task to measure this ‘membership effect’ and to separate it f rom the contribution of all other factors that aff ect the capacity of a country’s quality infrastructure.
ISSUE 3: INTEGRATING RESULTS INTO THE PLANNING CYCLE Let us now move to the issue of how to integrate results or performance measurement into ISO’s technical assistance (as opposed to the performance of NSB which is a much broader issue). So why is there a need to focus on results? What are the pre-conditions for doing so?
The first question is conceptually easy to answer. There are at least fo ur reasons why ISO should focus on results. First, ISO wants to show members that its technical assistance is effective and is worth the resources it absorbs for both the Secretariat a nd members and actually assists t he
201
ANNEX to DEVCO 10/2013 Page 4
DEVT/16350071
weaker members in particular in reforming and upgrading its quality inf rastructure. Second, ISO wants to co nvince current and ne w donors t hat it delivers technical assistance that meet the overall objectives of the development commu nity - in terms of pove rty reduction, governance, market development – in a cost effective manner. Thir d, ISO wan ts to use its performance measurement internally to impro ve the way the Secretariat plans, implements and follows-up on the technical assistance activities. Fourth, but no less important, ISO wants exchange experience with the wider development community and share be st-practice with other internation al organisations and donors that are active in the quality and standardisation area.
A focus on results does not come automaticall y. Integrating results is facilitated if there is f irm commitment from management, the organisation is willing to invest in results-relate d training and systems and results are integrated into the whole planning cycle. A culture of transparency and a willingness to learn and change are also important pre-conditi ons. Since results-based management has resource implications it is impor tant that a practical and realistic approach is adopted. Working with results shou ld be helpful to the organisation and not be overly expensive, rigid or bureaucratic.
ISSUE 4: DEVELOPING A RESULTS-FRAMEWORK A common way to distinguish between different types of results is provided by the diagram. Most organisations report on inputs and activities, but need to think about how they report on the results of these activities. Reporting on outputs is usually quite straight-forward as they are the immediate results of an activity, e.g. the number of people trained and if they were happy with the trainin g. The challenge begins with the outcome level. Outcomes are beyond the immediate control of an activity, but it should be clear that the activity h as contributed to achieving the outcome, e.g. th e passing of new legislat ion or greater public-private sector dialogue. Impacts are the long te rm development effects of an activity, e.g. improved quality infrastructure or enhanced competitiveness.
Figure 1 The results chain
By developing a log-frame matrix 2011‐2015 Action Plan, the ISO CS followed inte rnational best-practice in how to present the different results-levels of its t echnical assistance activities and how to measure progress. T he log-frame allows for a clear rep resentation of a progra mme and h as been a common requirement for do nor funded interventions for some time. In the d esign phase, the first question one should ask is whether the different r esults-levels link together in a logical way. In order to check this it is useful to represent the whole programme graphically in a flow-chart in what can be called a ‘programme logic’. For illustra tive purposes the ISO Action Plan is
Input
Financial, human and material resources
Actions taken, work
performed
Results from the development
intervention like products, capital
goods and services
Likely or achieved short and medium term effects
Long‐term effects
Activty Output Outcome Impact
Results
202

DEVT /16350071
reproduced in that format in Figure 2, using a simplified language at Output and Purpose levels. Overall, the logic would seem to hold, the six outputs are targeted at different aspects of standardisation capacities and are likely to contribute to t he purpose of strength ening national standardisation infrastructure, which in turn may have a positive impact on t he economic and social performance of a country. However, it should also be clear that the chain of changes that need to take place for the outputs to lead to th e goal is much more complex than shown in t he figure. In a ddition, activities aimed at one out put may influence results in anoth er output a nd outputs may be reinforcing each other.
Figure 2 A simplified flow-chart of ISO’s TA Action Plan 2011-2015
ISSUE 5: CHOOSING INDICATORS The general advice is t o make performance indica tors SMART, meaning that they should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. For pr actical purposes it is also important that the chosen indicators can be measured at reasonable cost, which implies that there should not be too many indicators and that it should not be too resource-demanding to collect, compile and analyse the data needed for measurement.
ISO developed a set of indicators for the 2011-2015 Action Plan. Even though that is helpful, the indicators listed also illustrate the challenges involved in measuring performance. First, indicators should not be confounded with ta rgets or re sults. They should describe the variable to be measured in a neutral manner, e.g. “ Number of P-memberships held by developing country Member bodies in ISO TCs, SCs and WGs“ as a measure of the Output “Increased participation in ISO technical work”. Second, it may be difficult to find appropriate indicators at impact level. An indicator such as “number of ISO International Standards adopted by developing countries”, may provide a useful contextual information, but one should be a ware of the difficult ies in linking such an indicator to ISO’s te chnical assistance, give n that there are many other influential factors at play. Third, tracking pr ogress at Outcome le vel, i.e. usually at organisational a nd institutional levels is usually possib le and a requirement of many don ors. However, measuring changes at these levels are challenging. Two possibilities can be extracted from ISO’s log-frame for the 2011-2015 Action Plan:
Improvement in NSB p rocesses through the formulation of business plans, includin g appropriate financial management
Outpu Purpos Goal
Increased participation in ISO technical work
Capacity built in standardization
Awareness improved on International
Members strengthened at institutional level
Regional cooperation strengthened
Standardization part of educational curricula

In the first example, the focus is on the formulation of business plans. But is that enough for an improvement to have occurred? What about impl ementation of the p lans? And what kind of processes need to be improved in order to progress to have been achieved? And i s it possible to find quantifiable measures that can be aggreg ated so that ISO can measure progress at Action Plan level? The second example should be an easily quantifiable indica tor. But it also implies that maintaining or increasing the level i s a good thing. Does th at mean the indicator awards quantity over quality?
ISSUE 6: MONITORING THE ACTIVITIES Developing the log-frame and ind icators is only the first step in the monitoring process. The real challenge for any implementing organisation is to use the log-frame and in particular the indicators for monitoring, learning and reporting purposes. One wa y to proceed is to produce a monitoring and evaluation plan in which the following issues are clarified and agreed:
(i) Purpose and scope of the results-based work
(ii) The results framework, includ ing intended results at different levels linked to planned activities
(iii) Indicators that are going to be used in monitoring and how they are going to monitored
(iv) A plan for evaluations
(v) Roles and resources
(vi) Reporting and feedback
The review of the 2005 -2010 Action Plan sho wed that ISO already has put in p lace important components of a monitoring and evaluation system. A log‐frame and objective tree was developed for the 201 1‐2015 Action Plan, th ere was an annual re port to members, key performance indicators were being pr esented to the DEVCO CAG, impact questionnaires were being sent out and compiled and recently an analysis of the INS programme has been produced. Among other things ISO faces the challenge co mmon to ot her centralised technical assista nce providers to aggregate results from a great n umber of relati vely limited tech nical assistance activities benefitting a large number of countries and stakeholders.
This being said DEVCO’s annual report on d evelopment and training to the ISO Council mainly contains information on activities, b ut provides limited indications a s to the results achieved. The review of the 2005-201 0 Action Plan suggest ed that “ A publicly available and comprehensive report, on an annual basis, on ISO support to developing countries that brings the elements of monitoring together would be a valuable way to advertise ISO’s TA activities, promote lessons learned and increase transparency.”
