A Technical Committee (TC) is a group responsible for development and drafting of standards which are then ratified by European Standards Organisations. All stakeholders interested in the draft standard are entitled to participate, but only representatives of national standardisation bodies have the right to vote in the Technical Committee. Committees comprise experts who are familiar with the area being studied. Members provide inputs and feedback based on their professional knowledge and experience. With the aim of representing SME interests in standardisation NORMAPME participates in European and International TCs. Therefore we recruit experts for different subjects and we create ad hoc working groups to provide each one of them with technical knowledge and feedback. The decision to follow one or the other technical committee (TC) or working group (WG) falls under the responsibility of the Secretariat of NORMAPME after consultation of the member organisations. Then, the Secretariat presents the new expert candidate to the members of the Board who take decision on their mandate. Once accepted the expert and NORMAPME conclude a work contract stating their mission and obligation. On this basis, each expert is required to submit regularly activity reports. In many cases, the SME organisations have specific and considered interest in following the activities of the TC as standards they apply or would do so in the future are at stake. Therefore, direct consultation and sharing of interests among the members is at once necessary and helpful for the overall effectiveness of any actions. At the time being, NORMAPME is present in 30 technical committees.
