The list begins with JTC 1, the Joint ISO/IEC Technical Committee established in 1987. The ISO technical committees are assigned numbers in order of their establishment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When a technical committee is disbanded its number is not allocated to another technical committee. A list of disbanded technical committees can be found <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/standards_development/technical_committees/disbanded_tc.htm" target="_blank" title="Disbanded technical committees">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Certain technical committees have no further work item under study or foreseen; they regularly review the ISO International Standards for which they are responsible. Their titles are followed by "STAND-BY" in the list of technical committees.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In cases in which the need is for an International Standard on a very specific topic not falling within the scope of an existing technical committee, a "project committee" may be established. A project committee works in the same way as a technical committee, but is not allowed to approve new work and is disbanded once the International Standard for which it was established has been published.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A summary of the roles and responsibilities of committee participants (other than chairmen and secretaries) is given in <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/annex_se.pdf" target="_blank" title="Annex SE - Summary of the role and responsibilities of committee participants other
than chairmen and secretaries">Annex SE of the ISO Supplement.</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Technical committee and subcommittee secretariats </h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Each technical committee and subcommittee has a secretariat assigned to an ISO member body - AFNOR, ANSI, JISC, SA, SABS, etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In order to facilitate the greater involvement by developing countries in international standardization work, the concept of "twinning" has been introduced. This allows a member body in a developing country to twin with a member body in a developed country and be considered to be a participating (P) member of a committee. This then ensures that the needs of developing countries are taken into account when International Standards are developed. The concept also includes the possibility of twinning at the level of committee secretariat, as well as the possibility of naming experts from developing countries as vice-chairs of technical committees and subcommittees. These latter possibilities contribute to the transfer of know-how and capacity building in developing countries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Conveners of working groups </h3><div style="text-align: justify;">A working group does not have a secretariat but an individual convener appointed by the parent committee to which he will report. In the List of technical committees, and for practical reasons, the names of the conveners are replaced by the member body through which the convener can be reached. The list also includes subcommittees which have not yet been allocated a secretariat, and working groups which do not yet have a convener. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Chairmen of technical committees and subcommittees </h3><div style="text-align: justify;">When a technical committee nominates a permanent chairman, he/she need not be a national of the country holding the secretariat. Chairmen are normally appointed for a three-year term by the ISO Technical Management Board. The figure in brackets shows the year at the end of which the term of office expires. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The chairman of the joint technical committee is appointed by both the ISO Technical Management Board and the IEC Council.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Additional addresses for technical committee and subcommittee secretariats </h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The addresses of the technical committee and subcommittee secretariats are normally the same as those of the member bodies handling these secretariats. Where a TC or SC secretariat has an additional address, the hyperlink gives this additional address. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Liaisons </h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The liaisons listed under the Scope include all TC liaisons - with ISO committees, with ISO/IEC JTC 1, with IEC committees, and with international organizations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<h4>The way it is done </h4>A text corresponding to an approved work item is developed as necessary through the preparatory and/or committee stages until consensus is reached in the committee. (In case of doubt, approval by 2/3 of the P-members voting may be considered to constitute consensus.) The text is submitted to all ISO member bodies for a five-month vote as a draft International Standard (DIS) and is approved if two-thirds of the P-members vote affirmatively and not more than a quarter of all votes cast are negative. A final text is prepared taking into account member body comments on the DIS and this text is issued for formal vote as a final draft International Standard (FDIS). If the text is again approved by two-thirds of the P-members voting and if not more than a quarter of all votes cast are negative, then the text is approved and the Central Secretariat publishes the International Standard.<br />
