Written answers

In relation to I.S. 465 and the membership of the relevant National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) committees, I am providing tables containing details as requested for 2013 and 2017.

I am advised by NSAI that there are two parts to I.S. 398:

Part 1 relates to reactive pyrite in sub-floor hardcore material - part 1: Testing and categorization protocol. There are two editions of part 1 - 2013 and 2017 publications, developed by NSAI/TC 58/SC1. The membership is provided for both projects.

Part 2 relates to reactive pyrite in sub-floor hardcore material - part 2: Methodology for remediation works published in 2013, developed by NSAI/TC 58/SC2. Membership is also provided for this project.

NSAI keeps membership of its committees under constant review 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 very much valued.
