Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 July 2022
163. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment further to Parliamentary Question No. 97 of 30 June 2022, the names of the members of the panel that designed I.S. 465 for the National Standards Authority of Ireland; and the names of the members of the panel that is now reviewing I.S. 465. [36915/22]
View answerThe NSAI Committee, NSAI TC 063, was and continues to be responsible for the development of I.S. 465.
The committee’s composition remains the same for work currently underway on amendment of I.S. 465, except for Ground Investigations Ireland and Fastnet Analytical who are no longer involved.
NSAI keeps membership of the committee constantly under review so as to endeavour to have a balanced representation within the constraints imposed by availability of suitable experts and interested stakeholders, and the voluntary nature of the committee. The contribution made by members, in terms of time and expertise, to this essential standardisation work is valued.
The table below lists companies and bodies represented on the technical committee which developed I.S. 465 in 2018 and its amendment in 2020.
