In order to get complete and trustworthy opinion on the DIS 29500 from various interested parties in Poland Polish NB conducted wide and open public consultancies. Several questions we asked as a part of these consultancies are based on ISO/IEC Directives and constitute MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS for ISO/IEC standards. They include:
Possible IPR infringes
Completeness, consistency and clarity of the Draft
State of art compliance (being not based on obsolete technical assumptions)
Room for development of the standard
User friendliness for experts not being involved in the Draft preparation (resulting in stable and various implementations)
Co-existence with other ISO standards in one application (whether the implementation of this particular standard would make impossible to implement at least one another ISO standard)
Polish NB considered carefully all PRO’S and CON’S comments submitted during the consultancy period. In the conclusion, we have not identified ANY obvious non-compliance of the standard with MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS. Therefore, taking into account specific One-Step-Approval ‘Fast Track’ procedure, Polish NB is in favour to say ‘yes’ to DIS 29500 submitting only general and few editorial comments.
