What is ISO?
The International organization for
standardization (ISO)

156 national members

• IT tools
• Standards development procedures
• Consensus building
• Dissemination

179 active TCs 3 000 technical bodies 50 000
experts
Central Secretariatin Geneva 150 staff

ISO Key mission statement
To be the leading value adding platform and
partner for the production of

• global and market relevant International
  Standards covering
• products, services, good conformity assessment,
  management and organizational practices

Multi-stakeholder participation in ISOs work

• Open participation
• Participation in ISO is open on a
  non-discriminatory basis to all countries of the
  world
• All ISO member bodies have equal rights of
  participation at the policy development level and
  at every stage of standards development, adoption
  of standards and dissemination of adopted
  standards
• National delegation and National enquiry
• ISO members are committed to organizing
  participation in ISO's technical work through
  national delegations that represent a balance of
  interests reflecting the technological, economic
  and public interest conditions in the country
• A key right and responsibility for each ISO
  member concerns the organization of national
  input during the enquiry stage prior to the
  approval of ISOs normative documents

8
Multi-stakeholder participation in ISOs work (2)

• Transparency, impartiality and consensus
• The ISO process is based on procedures designed
  to take account of the views of all parties and
  to reconcile any conflicting arguments
• ISO members are committed to respect the results
  of ISO's consensus building processes, i.e. that
  an ISO normative document is approved when there
  is an absence of sustained opposition by any
  important part of the concerned interests

9
Ensuring market relevance and efficiency of
technical work

• Involvement of key stakeholders in the standards
  development process
• ISO policy on Global Relevance
• Various modalities to address new areas of work
  quickly, such as
• Strategic Advisory Groups, New Work Studies
• Project Committees, International Workshop
  Agreements
• Set timeframes (forcing the project management
  approach)

10
Ensuring market relevance and efficiency of
technical work (2)

• Continual improvement of the ISO standards
  development process
• Service agreements between ISO and member bodies
  holding TC/SC secretariats
• Timeframes, Tracks, Performance monitoring,
• Full computerization (document authoring and
  exchange, electronic balloting, user management,
  project management, )
• Proven results
• Average time needed to publish an International
  Standard (in 2006) less than 3 years
• Increased participation and use of International
  Standards

11
ISO Governance structure
During its session holds the powers of the
Organization and approves its overall policies
Governs the organization Resolves conflicts (of
technical and policy nature) escalated to Council
level
Defines and oversees application of procedures
for technical work Decides on new TCs and
allocation of work to TCs Resolves conflicts of
technical nature
Technical Management Board
Technical Committes
Technical Committes are independent and the sole
entities responsible for ISOs technical work
12
ISO relevance for the Energy sector

• International Standards have given and continue
  to give an important contribution to the Energy
  sector
• helping to enhance the safety of industry
  operations, assure quality, allow for variety
  control and interoperability, reduce waste and
  achieve significant cost savings
• helping to improve production, products,
  processes and networks, and to speed-up market
  acceptance
• ISO has published 670 standards for the Energy
  sector and, at June 2006, had over 200 active
  work items

13
International Standards supporting Energy
Efficiency

• Preliminary portfolio analysis conducted in the
  framework of a pilot project (using a restrictive
  approach)
• 18 ISO TCs are involved
• More than 100 ISO standards published and 36
  active work items with 21 standards and 3 WIs
  covering industrial products and processes
• Energy efficiency of Buildings is the field
  covered more broadly by ISO standards

14
IS concerning Energy Efficiency of industrial
products and processes
A few examples
ISO 5802 Industrial fans performance
(ISO TC 117) ISO 1217
Compressors Consumption vs. power output
(ISO TC 118/SC 6) ISO 9946 Manipulating
industrial robots power consumption (ISO TC
184/SC2)
15
International Standards supporting Renewable
Energy sources

• Preliminary portfolio analysis conducted in the
  framework of a pilot project (using a restrictive
  approach)
• Three ISO TCs are involved
• 20 ISO standards published and 11 active work
  items
• The majority of ISO standards in this field cover
  solar heating systems

16
IS concerning Renewable Energy Sources
A few examples
ISO 81400 (ISO TC 60) Wind turbine
gearboxes ISO 9459 (ISO TC 180/SC4) Solar
water-heating systems ISO 13600 (ISO TC 203)
Technical Energy system
17
ISO cooperation with IEA
Energy efficiency has a key role to play and is
available in the short term
18
ISO cooperation with IEA (2)

• ISO and IEA agree that International Standards
  are a key tool for disseminating new technologies
  and good practices, developing global markets and
  supporting the harmonization of government
  policies on energy efficiency and renewable
  sources on a global scale
• The two organizations are willing to cooperate
  with a view to
• refining the portfolio analysis of International
  Standards relevant to these fields
• identifying priorities that can be shared by
  public authorities, the private sector and
  societal stakeholders
• performing a gap analysis and providing
  recommendations to standards experts on
  high-priority areas that can be covered by
  International Standards

19
Energy Management and Auditing standards

• The theme of Energy Management standards has been
  debated informally in ISO but work has not been
  proposed yet
• ISO is well aware of national standards covering
  the subject and following developments in the
  field (regional projects, bilateral/multilateral
  cooperation) recognizing that most documents
  are compatible with the ISO management systems
  model
• ISO welcomes the UNIDO initiative and looks
  forward to support in the most suitable way
  proposals from ISO members and recommendations
  from international organizations to initiate
  international standardization activities on the
  subject
