IEC/committee:	Secretariat:	Date:
Please ensure this form is annexed to the Report to the Standardization Management Board if it has been prepared during a meeting or sent to the IEC Secretariat promptly after its contents have been agreed by the committee.
A.	State title and scope of committee
Are there any new or emerging trends in technology that will impact the scope and work activities of the committee? Please describe briefly. Do you need to update your scope to reflect new and emerging technologies? If yes, will these changes impact another committee’s scope or work activities? If yes, describe how these will impact another committee(s) and list the committee(s) it would impact
B.	Management Structure of the committee
Describe the management structure of the committee (use of an organizational chart is acceptable) (should be integrated by IEC Secretariat automatically) and, if relevant (for example an unusual structure is used), provide the rationale as to why this structure is used. Note: Check if the information on the IEC website is complete. When was the last time the committee reviewed its management structure? Describe any changes made. When does the committee intend to review its current management structure? In the future, will the committee change the current structure, for example due to new and emerging technologies, product withdrawal, change in regulations etc. Please describe. Make sure the overview includes: any joint working groups with other committees, any special groups like advisory groups, editing groups, etc.
C.	Business Environment
Provide the rationale for the market relevance of the future standards being produced in the committee. If readily available, provide an indication of global or regional sales of products or services related to the committee work and state the source of the data. Specify if standards will be significantly effective for assessing regulatory compliance.
D.	Market Demand
Provide a list of likely customers of the standards (suppliers, specifiers, testing bodies, regulators, installers, other committee’s etc.). Do not specify company names, only categories of customers.
E.	Sustainable Development Goals Indicate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are addressed by work within the committee. Indicate each SDG Indicator affected (reference spreadsheet available at https://www.iec.ch/SDG/, and provide specific information about how the committee is addressing the SDG. Consider both direct and indirect impacts of the work of the committee.
☐ GOAL 1: No Poverty ☐ GOAL 2: Zero Hunger ☐ GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being ☐ GOAL 4: Quality Education ☐ GOAL 5: Gender Equality ☐ GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation ☐ GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy ☐ GOAL 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth ☐ GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure ☐ GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality ☐ GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities ☐ GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption & Production ☐ GOAL 13: Climate Action ☐ GOAL 14: Life Below Water ☐ GOAL 15: Life on Land ☐ GOAL 16: Peace, Justice Strong Institutions ☐ GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goals
F.	Trends in Technology and in the Market
If any, indicate the current or expected trends in the technology or in the market covered by the products of your committee.
G.	Systems approach aspects (See Directives Part 1 Annex SO)
Does your committee have a need for a systems approach? If so: Will the Systems work be in a single committee or in multiple committees? Will a Standardization Evaluation Group (SEG), Systems Committee (SyC), or Systems Resource Group be required? Is your committee work of relevance to ISO? Is or are there fora or consortia working in parallel to IEC? Is there a chance to integrate this work in your committee? This should not only be restricted to the customer/supplier relationships with other committeess indicating types of co-operation (e.g. liaisons, joint working groups) but be of a more generic nature.
H.	Conformity Assessment
With reference to Clause 33 of Part 2 of the ISO/IEC Directives, are all your publications in line with the requirements related to conformity assessment aspects? Will the committee publications be used for IEC Conformity Assessment Systems (IECEE, IECEx, IECQ, IECRE)? Will any of your standards include test specifications, reproducible test requirements, and test methods? Are there likely to be special conformity assessment requirements generated by any standards projects? If yes, list which projects.
