Why be a member of a committee?

• provides a direct opportunity to input the views
  of the represented member country and so to
  influence the content of the eventual publication
• ensures an opportunity to directly support
  submitted views during subsequent discussions
• enhances understanding of the subject matter, and
  so aids appropriate application, for example in
  relation to local conventions and regulations
• offers valuable networking opportunities with
  other committee participants
• facilitates first hand access to expertise

13
What are the risks if you dont participate?

• Standards will not be applicable to local
  conditions
• Absence of the required materials
• Absence of production or test equipment
• Solutions at odds with established local
  practices
• potentially leading to
• difficulties (barriers) with exports and
  international markets
• imported goods not being suitable in one way or
  another
