International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Establishment of New Project Committees

ISO/PC Cleaning Services – Requirements The ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) has established a new project committee to work on the development of an ISO Standard in the field of cleaning services – requirements.

By submitting the proposal to ISO, Germany (DIN) noted that private cleaning firms are responsible for ensuring a high level of cleanliness in numerous public and private buildings in which there is considerable public traffic on a daily basis and where a low standard of cleanliness would have a negative effect on the image of the client organization. A high standard of cleanliness is also crucial to public hygiene. In some cases, private companies will expect the cleaning service to work in areas in which sensitive information or dangerous goods are stored, placing additional demands on the competence and integrity of the cleaning personnel.

Further, DIN cites that the proposed project will primarily deal with multi-regional cleaning services, especially those working on an international level.

As a result of the proposed standardization work, one single document is expected.

DIN (Germany) has been allocated the secretariat and will appoint a Chair for this committee. The committee will have the following scope:

Requirements for cleaning services and cleaning service providers. It provides a framework and reference system for procurement purposes in the field of cleaning services, primarily addressing multi-regional service providers, especially those operating globally.

ANSI procedures require the establishment and accreditation of a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in order for the United States to participate in the development of an ISO standard.

Anyone wishing to serve as Administrator for a US TAG for ISO/PC Cleaning Services – Requirements or to become a member of the US TAG, should one be established, please contact Henrietta Scully at ANSI via e-mail at [email protected].

ISO/PC Educational Services The ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) has established a new project committee to work on the development of an ISO Standard in the field of educational services.

By submitting the proposal to ISO, Germany (DIN) noted there is a need to create a suitable framework for preparing standards in the field of educational services. The technical committee is also open to standards proposals relating to other areas of non-public education that share the common concern of encouraging cooperation in quality assurance, whereby particular emphasis is placed on the exchange of models and methods and the establishment of common criteria and principles. Core elements are ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the education or training and improvement of knowledge transfer whilst also enhancing the transparency and comparability of the range of educational services provided.


Further, DIN cites that, given the aim of vocational training is to improve competitiveness; it must be customized to company needs. This involves directing measures towards the requirements of the company whilst also considering the needs and capabilities of the individual. The collation of standardized data on the status of skills and requirements plays an important role in ensuring that education, training and quality assurance are tailor-made. After all, the quality of the education or training education providers’ offer determines whether and to what extent they will enjoy market success.


Standardization in the field of services for learning, education and training to support individuals, groups, or organizations, in particular in vocational education. This involves setting standards in specific areas of non-public training and education, the initial focus being on vocational and in-company training and language training.

The TC shall not create standards or technical reports that define cultural conventions. The TC shall not create standards in the field of information technologies for learning, education, and training.


Anyone wishing to serve as Administrator for a US TAG for ISO/PC Educational services or to become a member of the US TAG, should one be established, please contact Henrietta Scully at ANSI via e-mail at [email protected].

ISO/PC Fisheries and Aquaculture The ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) has established a new project committee to work on the development of an ISO Standard in the field of Fisheries and Aquaculture.

By submitting the proposal to ISO, Norway (SN) has noted industries, businesses and trades connected to fisheries and aquaculture are all of an international nature. The same applies for the production of and trade with fish and fish products, as well as the equipment used in aquaculture and fisheries. Many of the processes involved have potentially far-reaching environmental impacts. Major consumer interests need to be taken into account, connected with, e.g., food safety. A sustainable development within the industry is, to a large extent, dependent on a variety of international agreements, in relation to trade, environmental awareness, safety and utilization of natural resources. In order to make the above-mentioned industry, business and trade more effective without losing sight of sustainable development, standardization can play a significant role. When applicable, the standards shall act as tools to supplement legislation and international agreements.

NS (Norway) has been allocated the secretariat and will appoint a Chair for this committee. The committee will have the following scope:

Standardization in the field of fisheries and aquaculture. Important aspects would be environmental awareness, monitoring of biological resources, interface between technology and biology, animal health and welfare, occupational health and safety, food safety, traceability and terminology. Production and utilization of all types of edible materials and products derived from aquatic biological organisms as well as the organisms themselves are included.

Excluded: Standardization of water quality (dealt with by ISO/TC 147), fishing nets (dealt with by ISO/TC 38) and food quality and food products as such (dealt with by ISO/TC 34).

Anyone wishing to serve as Administrator for a US TAG for ISO/PC Fisheries and Aquaculture or to become a member of the US TAG, should one be established, please contact Henrietta Scully at ANSI via e-mail at [email protected].

ISO/PC Specification of Requirements on Rating Services Including Rating Processes and Rating Methods The ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) has established a new project committee to work on the development of an ISO Standard in the field of rating services including rating processes and rating methods

By submitting the proposal to ISO, Germany (DIN) has noted that rating, or the assessment of debtor solvency, has been a topic for decades, particularly in connection with the assessment of debt instruments in capital markets. Since the introduction of the new international regulations on banks’ capital requirements (Basle II) and the plans for new regulations governing insurance companies (Solvency II), rating has become an obligatory part of the process of obtaining credit. The growing importance of ratings also means it is also becoming increasingly important to define and specify the quality of rating processes and the quality of the rating itself together with the associated rating scales and symbols.

The proposed standardization should only concern itself with credit rating, and not with sustainability or other forms of ranking or different assessment procedures. Rating, in the sense of this standard, is the assessment of debtor solvency.

As a result of the proposed standardization work, one single document is expected.


To develop a standard which specifies terms, definitions and service requirements on professional rating services, applied from rating agencies, banks, financial institutions and other rating service organizations.


Anyone wishing to serve as Administrator for a US TAG for the ISO/PC on Specification of requirements on rating services including rating processes and rating methods or become a member of the US TAG, should one be established, please contact Henrietta Scully at ANSI via e-mail at [email protected].
