Standards Representation |
|
AFAC
is represented on some 80 Australian Standards Committees and 3
International Standards committees The AFAC Council at its April 2000
meeting endorsed a Working Party report which contained a new AFAC
approach to representation on Standards Australia
committees. The central planks of the approach
are: · All fire service representation on Standards Australia committees shall be under the auspices of AFAC
· Representation should be on behalf of AFAC and any individual agency representation should be evaluated and transferred to AFAC representation
· The number of committee any individual serves on should be capped at two committees and three sub committee or project groups. · AFAC will fund air travel to all meetings including sub committees and working groups
· Membership of all committees including sub committees and working groups are to be endorsed by AFAC and the relevant Strategy Group
·
All agencies should be
encouraged to encouraged to nominate delegates to represent AFAC on
Standards Australia committees · Continuity of committee representation and attendance should be regarded as the highest priority
· The guidelines for representation on Standards Australia and other technical committees be adopted by all strategy groups
