TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
ITEM 8 Report on the implementation of the ISO Action Plan for developing countries, including reports by the CASCO and COPOLCO secretariats
1 Introduction
The ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2011-2015 implements elements of the ISO Strategic Plan 2011-2015 relating to developing countries and is built around the following six key outputs:
1. Increased participation in ISO technical work
2. Capacity built in standardization and related matters for ISO members and their stakeholders
3. Awareness improved on the role and benefits of IS and their use. International standards are therefore increasingly used
4. ISO members in developing countries strengthened at institutional level
5. Regional cooperation strengthened
6. Introduction of the subject of standardization as part of educational curricula initiated
This report highlights the activities carried out under the six outputs since reporting to DEVCO in September 2013. A list of technical assistance and training activities implemented between August 2013 and July 2014 is included in Annex. 2 Implementation of the ISO Action Plan for developing countries 2011-2015
2.1 Increased participation in ISO technical work
A. Sponsorships and participation TCs, SCs and WGs Support for the above is to increase the involvement of developing countries in the technical work performed by ISO technical committees (including project committees), sub-committees and working groups. By participating at these three levels, developing countries ensure that their interests are taken into account and, in so doing, contribute to strengthening ISO's global relevance. The details of the types of sponsorships offered are presented on ISO Connect under the Members’ portal of the ISO website A major step was taken at the March 2013 Council meeting to encourage greater participation by developing countries in ISO technical work. In accordance with Council Resolution 3/2013, correspondent and subscriber members may participate - during 2014 and 2015 only - in up to five technical committees, subcommittees, project committees or working groups as P-members, with a right to speak and vote in these committees, and no change to their membership fees or other rights. The Membership team at the ISO Central Secretariat (ISO/CS) has compiled a list of members wishing to make use of this opportunity and participate more actively in ISO. Specific training was organized for these members at ISO/CS, in November 2013 and in March 2014.
13
In 2013, a total of 59 sponsorships were provided to experts from developing countries to attend TC/SC and WG meetings. In 2014, 25 sponsorships have been granted so far. The DEVCO CAG identifies technical areas where funding may be provided to P-members to participate in the technical work. The list of priority areas is reviewed regularly. The current committees are given below: ISO/TC 34, Food products (food safety) ISO/TC 207, Environment ISO/TC 223, Societal Security ISO/TC 242, Energy Management ISO/TC 238, Solid biofuels / ISO/TC 248, Sustainability criteria for bioenergy ISO/TC 241, Road traffic safety management systems ISO/TC 228, Tourism and related services ISO/TC 234, Fisheries and aquaculture ISO/TC 245, Cross border-trade of second-hand goods ISO/PC 283, Occupational health and safety management systems ISO/TC 285, Clean cook stoves and clean cooking solutions CASCO Working groups B. E-participation and more effective leadership There is a need for more effective performance in leadership and other roles dealing with standardization. Thus, regular training sessions are organized at ISO/CS for members from developed and developing countries. During the period under review, three sessions of the ISO Secretaries’ Week were organized for ISO TC/SC secretaries, secretary support teams and WG convenors. Participants from Brazil, China, Egypt, Ghana, Iran and Malaysia were among the 55 who followed the course. ISO web conferencing (WebEx) accounts for national work have been provided free to member bodies and correspondent members in developing countries. All members have access to WebEx for ISO-related international work to enhance participation in ISO activities. Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) ISO signed with SAC (China) in 2011, and renewed in 2012, ISO/CS provides training to participants from China. ISO Secretaries' Weeks for SAC participants were organized in Geneva and Hangzhou (China), in November 2013. The course was carried out again in May 2014. SAC bears all the costs related to this programme. A pilot session of a new course targeted at ISO Chairs and Convenors took place in Toronto (Canada) in August 2013. A train-the-trainer session was held after the main course for qualified ISO Chairs and Convenors from the Americas. The training material is at the disposal of members who wish to use it for conducting this training in their organizations.
2.2 Capacity built in standardization and related matters
The second key output of the Action Plan is to build the capacity of national experts and key stakeholders in good standardization practices, and to develop their skills to participate effectively in ISO technical work.
14
Examples of capacity building activities
As part of the effort to encourage a wider use of ISO 26000, ISO signed a four-year agreement with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) for the Uptake and use of ISO 26000 on Social Responsibility within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Countries participating in the project are Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, and Tunisia. The objective of the project is to build capacity within each of the above mentioned countries, using the NSB as the central pivot, and to create a pool of national and regional experts, who in turn can assist selected organizations to apply ISO 26000 in their operations. The project has demonstrated the value of the exchange of experience and best practices at the regional level. It will run till the end of 2014. External evaluators commissioned by Sida conducted a mid-term evaluation of the project. It was published in March 2014. Thanks to funding granted in 2013 by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GiZ), on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), a similar project was implemented in East Africa, involving Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. GiZ approved a second phase to the project for implementation by July 2014, and extended it to include Rwanda and Burundi. In addition to the SR MENA and SR East Africa projects, national workshops on ISO 26000 were held in Mongolia and Egypt since reporting to DEVCO in September 2013. Also, training on SR for national experts from Iraq was conducted in Turkey in September 2013. 2.3 Improved awareness of the role of standardization
During the period under review, a significant number of workshops and seminars on a variety of subjects of interest to developing countries were delivered. The topics include food safety, life cycle assessment, energy management, greenhouse gases, societal security, environmental foot printing, conformity assessment, and many others. A list of activities is included in Annex.
In addition, new regional workshop modules were developed and rolled-out. An event on road traffic safety management systems was held in Nairobi (Kenya), in collaboration with BSI, and a regional workshop on risk management took place in Singapore in November 2013. Consumers constitute one of the key stakeholders groups in standardization. A revision of the distance learning module “Consumers and standards” was revised and is now available at ISO online. 2.4 Institutional strengthening of members in developing countries
The objective of this output is to strengthen national standards bodies, which operate in various types of legal and institutional frameworks as well as in different business environments, in order to enhance their competence and credibility. Strong NSBs are key for ensuring adequate participation in international standardization work and for the implementation of international standards at the national level. In April 2011, ISO launched an institutional strengthening project (INS) covering 13 member bodies from nine regions. This was the first time that ISO worked with a group of ISO members to directly assess their specific needs so as to draw up a list of priority actions, which are then addressed through the delivery of technical assistance by ISO. Some 33 ISO members have or are currently participating in the INS project. An evaluation of the impacts of the INS projects is currently being carried out by ISO/CS.
15
For the delivery of the INS projects, ISO/CS works in close cooperation with a number of ISO members. For instance, Canada, France, Singapore and Malaysia are actively involved in the delivery of INS support to Cambodia, Cameroon, Gabon, Peru, Côte d'Ivoire, Myanmar and Bhutan. ISO signed recently with Sida a new project agreement aimed at strengthening institutional infrastructure on standards and regulations to support business and industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA STAR). This INS-type project will run until the end of 2017. A new programme on Good standardization practice (GSP) was developed with the objective of benchmarking NSB operations with guidelines considered essential at the international level. For example, the WTO TBT Committee established the “Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations in relation to Articles 2, 5 and Annex 3 of the Agreement", in November, 2000. Both ISO and its members need to comply with at least these TBT principles. Regional courses on GSP have been delivered for English-speaking African countries (Addis Ababa, March 2013), and for members in South America, Central America and the Caribbean (La Paz, in May 2013). In November 2013, a GSP course was organized in Doha (Qatar) for the Arab region, and a further course will be held for members in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, in October 2014. The ISO Deputy Secretary-General is one of the resource persons for the course and participates actively in these events. Another specificity of the GSP course is that members undertake a self-assessment that serves as a basis for the learning process. Also, a network of participants is established on the ISOTC server for sharing experiences that has led to building up a comprehensive picture of standardization practices across the ISO regions. In addition to the above, capacity-building activities target operational aspects such as: • ICT capabilities and use of ISO e-tools • Marketing, promotion and IPR • Stakeholder engagement Increasing the expertise in the use of IT tools for standards development and dissemination activities is strongly encouraged. In support of this objective, ISO/CS runs e-services courses for Member Body User Administrators (MBUAs). During the period under review, the MBUA course was held in Singapore, in November 2013. Additional courses are on the plan for September and October, for ISO members in Central America, the Caribbean, and English-speaking Africa. A regional course on Marketing and Promotion of International Standards was held in Nairobi (Kenya), in May 2014. A revised version of the course will be organized for members in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, by the end of the year. A workshop module on stakeholder engagement was developed in 2012, based on guidance prepared by the ISO Process Evaluation Group (PEG) of the TMB. During the period under review, a regional workshop was held in Armenia, in October 2013, and in Colombia in December 2013. A third workshop will be held in Morocco, in October 2014. 2.5 Increased regional cooperation
Regional cooperation is essential to enable developing countries address the challenges of globalization and integrate more effectively in the multilateral trading system. In addition to the long standing relations with regional standards organization such as COPANT, formal relations have been established with sub-regional organizations, namely the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ), the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) Standardization Organization (GSO), the Economic Community of
16
West African States (ECOWAS) and the East African Community (EAC). Many of these organizations take an active role in supporting the implementation of activities carried out under the ISO Action Plan for developing countries. Also, regional activities targeted at chief executive officers of national standards bodies have been pursued. CEO forums were held in Malaysia for members in East and South East Asia and South Asia in April 2013, and in Costa Rica for members in the South America, Central America and the Caribbean in November 2013. A CEO Forum for English-speaking Africa took place in Accra (Ghana), in March 2014. The next one will be held in in Astana (Kazakhstan), in August 2014. In addition to enhancing regional cooperation, these events incorporate significant discussions on strategic planning, financial management, and focus on case studies on best practices. In Astana, CEOs from the region will use the opportunity to reflect on the next Strategic Plan for ISO. These events are facilitated by the ISO Secretary-General. 2.6 Subject of standardization introduced in educational curricula
Workshops to increase the collaboration between NSBs and institutions of higher education took place in Brazil in April 2013, and in South Africa, in November 2013. A further workshop will be held in Serbia in October 2014. KATS, the ISO member for the Republic of Korea, has contributed to the content of the workshop programmes, and provided funding in support of the organization of these events since 2012. With substantial input from the regional workshops, ISO/CS has prepared a guide on Good practices for collaboration between NSBs and universities. Copies of the publication will be available at the DEVCO meeting in Rio de Janeiro. A repository of teaching materials is available on the ISO website. The repository is a list of teaching materials on standardization, with details of the authors and publishers, which can be used by teachers to design and deliver courses on standardization and related matters. ISO also contributes to the University of Geneva Masters' programme on Standardization, Social Regulation and Sustainable Development. The Masters is an interdisciplinary programme including sociology, management and economics. It has been developed in partnership by the University of Geneva, ISO and SNV, the ISO member for Switzerland. The 2nd edition of the ISO/DIN Essay contest for young standardizers in developing countries was launched in March 2014. The winner will be announced at the ISO General Assembly in Rio de Janeiro. ISO is grateful to DIN for their continued support of this initiative. 3 Assessment of the impact of activities implemented under the Action Plan
The number of technical assistance and training activities implemented under the Action Plan has significantly increased over the years due to additional resources made available by donors. It is a requirement of both the donors and ISO that there be an evaluation as to whether the activities delivered have had a beneficial effect. Procedures are in place to assess these impacts and results are reviewed annually by the DEVCO CAG. Overall, the findings are encouraging and follow a stable trend. Although there is always room for improvement, the reports confirm the relevance of the assistance provided, and its close alignment to the priority needs of the participants, the NSBs and their stakeholders. The 2013 impact assessment report is available for members to consult. Here the link to the document

4. Funding of technical assistance and training activities
ISO continues to benefit from significant donor support for the implementation of the ISO Action Plan for developing countries. Since reporting to DEVCO in September 2013, an important number of global, regional and national activities were undertaken in developing countries as well as through training courses organized at the ISO Central Secretariat in Geneva.
In 2013, KCHF 3 045 was spent on technical assistance and training for developing countries compared with KCHF 2 610 in 2012. The history of annual expenditure on technical assistance is depicted on the chart below.
4.1 Contributions from ISO members to the Funds-in-Trust
In recent years, the number of ISO members from developed and developing countries who contribute to the Funds-in-Trust has increased, and the funds thus collected are on the rise. In 2012, contributions to the Fund amounted to CHF 281 723, and in 2013, payments reached CHF 357 171. ISO members contributing to the Fund are listed below:
Afghanistan Albania Antigua & Barbuda Argentina Bhutan Bosnia Herzegovina Botswana Bulgaria Cameroon Canada Colombia Denmark Dominica Egypt Eritrea Ethiopia Finland
France Germany Ghana Indonesia Ireland Japan Kenya Liberia Luxemburg Malaysia Mali Moldova Mozambique Myanmar Namibia Netherlands New Zealand
Niger Nigeria Norway Pakistan Peru St Vincent & Grenadines Serbia Seychelles Singapore South Africa South Korea Suriname Sweden Tanzania Togo USA Uruguay

4.2 Contributions by the ISO Council
From ISO’s 2013 operating surplus, Council has allocated CHF 272 000 in support of developing country and training programmes, showing ISO’s continued commitment to reinvest its resources in the organization and towards its members most in need.
4.3 Contributions by donors
ISO continues to benefit from donor support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to implement activities under the ISO Action Plan for developing countries.
4.4 Contributions in kind
Many ISO members in developed and developing countries host national and regional events organized under the ISO Action Plan. They provide assistance, not only in coordinating on-site logistics, and the participation of experts and international participants, but also help identify speakers and regional experts to add value to the events they host. Thanks to this support, an increasing number of activities have been implemented under the Action Plan. Members will be formally acknowledged at the 48th DEVCO meeting in Rio de Janeiro. 5 Partnerships with development agencies and international organizations
Partnerships have been established with international organizations and development agencies at the multilateral and bilateral levels for the implementation of technical assistance projects under the ISO Action plan. The cooperation takes various forms, such as reciprocal participation in meetings and increasingly, the joint implementation of technical cooperation projects. The organization with the International Trade Centre (ITC) of a series of joint workshops on Linking trade promotion organizations (TPOs) and NSBs for export success is a good example of this collaboration. Plans are underway for the holding of the next workshop in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) in November 2014.
6 Governance and membership of DEVCO
6.1 DEVCO Chair's Advisory Group (CAG)
The DEVCO CAG consists of eleven members, eight of whom are from developing countries and three from developed countries.

REPORT OF ISO/CASCO TO DEVCO
1 29th ISO/CASCO plenary and policy work
The 29th plenary of the ISO Committee on conformity assessment (ISO/CASCO) was hosted by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA) in Beijing, China, on 9 and 10 October 2013. It was attended by 106 delegates from 37 member bodies, 2 internal liaisons, 12 liaisons, including the IEC and 8 observers.
ISO/CASCO held an open day and round table discussions on conformity assessment in conjunction with the plenary. These sessions attracted more than 95 participants. The open day focused on the current work of ISO/CASCO working groups (WGs) and recently published standards. The round table discussions focused on future strategic issues facing ISO/CASCO and conformity assessment in general.
Having the ISO/CASCO plenary in China facilitated the participation from the Asia-Pacific region in the plenary and the workshop. The ISO committee for developing countries (DEVCO) sponsored the participation of a number of delegates from ISO Member Bodies in the region.
A regional workshop on the Impact of Economic Globalization, Regulation and Consumer Safety on Conformity Assessment was also held in conjunction with the plenary and was attended by over 110 delegates.
2 Topical issues currently being addressed in ISO/CASCO
The format and timing of the ISO/CASCO plenary was reviewed. The new formatincludes interactive sessions on the technical program of the committee as well asround table discussions on specific topics. Given past and potential conflicts withother international conformity assessment meetings (especially the IAF/ILAC GeneralAssemblies), the timing of the ISO/CASCO plenary will shift from the 4th quarter to the1st in 2016.
IAF-ILAC-ISO Joint Strategic group continues to monitor the implementation of theirstrategic action plan to ensure good conformity assessment in relation tomanagement systems standards and to assist in protecting the ISO brand and image.
ISO/CASCO is in the process of completing an interactive online tool to promote aharmonized approach to conformity assessment based on the ISO/CASCO toolboxby national regulators. It is intended for use by the national member bodies togetherwith national regulators. Two regional workshops to be delivered by DEVCO in 2014,one in Oman and another one in Zimbabwe.
CASCO Strategic Alliance and Regulatory group (STAR) continues to attract andencourage intergovernmental agencies and industry sectors’ interaction directly withISO/CASCO. The membership continues to grow with two new members who joinedthe group, Quest Forum and IIOC. The ISEAL Alliance Executive Director hasparticipated as observer in a number of meetings. ISO/CASCO continues to promotethe benefits of the toolbox to the STAR members and other participants. The formatof the STAR is under review to even further facilitate participation and discussions.
ANNEX 2 to DEVCO 07/201445
ISO/CASCO is investigating various possibilities with regard to developing guidanceand other deliverables on conformity assessment schemes. Guidance is alreadybeing finalized with regard to product certification schemes. It is intended to expandthis to personnel and sector schemes in the coming 12 to 18 months.
ISO/CASCO continues exploring ways of ensuring adequate representation ofstakeholders, industry, consumers and developing countries in ISO/CASCO activities,especially via the use of the WebEx for all of its meetings. Continued internationalhosting of the annual plenary alternating outside of Europe is also intended (after areturn to Geneva this year).
Together with COPOLCO, ISO/CASCO has developed an information package forISO member bodies and consumer organizations on the complaints' handling processfor Management System Standards (MSSs) on national level. It facilitates theirinvolvement in the resolution of complaints as they are in a position to alert localbodies where necessary.
ISO/CASCO completed its sixth year of managing the ISO Survey of Certifications.The 2012 survey results have been published on the ISO website and like for the2011 Survey, are fully available free of charge here. The results show an overallgrowth in the number of certificates globally.
3 On-going ISO/CASCO technical work
ISO/CASCO technical projects are progressed by their respective WGs and include the development of the following documents:
ISO/IEC 17021 Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies providing audit
and certification of management systems, the revision started at the end of 2012 andthe document is planned to be published mid 2015;
ISO/IEC 17021-6 Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies providing audit
and certification of management systems – Part 6: Competence requirements for

CONSUMER POLICY – REPORT FROM COPOLCO
ISO/COPOLCO is continuing to aim for a wide base of participation by its members, especially from developing countries; and actively supports consumer protection as one of the fundamental goals of standardization. 1. COPOLCO meeting and related events
1.1 COPOLCO plenary meeting and workshop
The 36th COPOLCO plenary meeting and related events took place in Milan, Italy on 13-16 May 2014, at the invitation of the Ente Italiano di Normazione (UNI), with support from Regione Lombardia (Lombardy regional government). In keynote addresses at the international workshop on 14 May, representatives of Regione Lombardia and the Consumer and User National Council (CNCU) underscored consumers’ central role in achieving sustainability and economic development goals in Italy and within the global community. Some 110 representatives of consumer associations, public authorities, businesses and national standards bodies from 29 countries and liaison organizations attended. The COPOLCO events were part of a lead-up to the 2015 Expo in Milan on the theme, “Feeding the planet, energy for life”. 1.2 COPOLCO workshop emphasizes confidence in the marketplace
ISO/COPOLCO upheld informed choice at its annual workshop on 14 May 2014, on “Building confidence in a business-to-consumer relationship – roles and expectations”. The participants highlighted consumers’ needs for transparent, comparable and reliable information about goods and services. Consumer, business and government agency representatives explored good and bad practice case examples of product information, including on-line communications. They also emphasized the importance of effective two-way communication between buyers and sellers. The plenary took a decision to set up a task group to consider the feasibility of a good practice guideline for suppliers on product information for consumers. Other ideas for further consideration included proposals for standards on effective customer feedback systems and second party (consumer) validation systems for suppliers’ claims. The group noted the need to cooperate closely with ISO/TC 290, Online reputation in the future. 1.3 Participation in the 2016-2020 Strategy consultation
As part of its efforts to define the 2016-2020 Strategy, ISO has invited COPOLCO to participate in a wide consultation among ISO members, stakeholder organizations, policy committees and the technical community. Mr. Kevin McKinley, Deputy Secretary-General, presented the aims and process of the consultation at the COPOLCO plenary on 15-16 May. As for the other ISO policy development committees, this is the first time that COPOLCO has been directly consulted on the Strategy. COPOLCO is now commenting on focused questions within the consultation: notably on a vision for a successful ISO, infrastructure, capacity-building and ways of promoting standards. COPOLCO will complete this exercise in August. Consumers International is also participating in the survey.
49
2 Activities to support consumer participation, especially in developing
countries
2.1 Training and capacity building
COPOLCO has a standing group on consumer participation and training which led the revision of an on-line learning tool, Consumers and standards – Partnership for a better world which was released in 2013. This working group will shortly start developing a system to share information on funding and other resources and cases of good practice for involving consumer representatives. The COPOLCO Secretary and Chair gave a joint presentation in a training session in November 2013 for CEOs and Standards Directors of National Standards Bodies that are correspondent members of ISO and taking on the rights and responsibilities of full membership on a trial basis under an ISO Council-sponsored "new rights" programme. In March 2014, the COPOLCO Secretary gave a presentation followed by an interactive discussion with visiting NSB CEOs and standards directors of newly-inducted ISO full members. Countries represented were Benin, Gabon, Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Nepal, Rwanda, Swaziland and Uganda. All except two are O members of COPOLCO. 2.2 Leveraging the power of regional groups Ms. Ratna Devi Nadarajan became COPOLCO Chair in January 2014. Under her leadership, COPOLCO is encouraging regional activity as a way to encourage members to participate more effectively in standards and capacity-building. The Pacific Island Countries Standards and Consumer Network (PICSCN) has been established and invited to join forces with the Asia-Pacific regional group members of COPOLCO. These members meet regularly to exchange experiences and best practices for consumer participation. For Africa, COPOLCO’s next step will be to explore ways to cooperate with the newly-formed ARSO COCO (Consumer Committee of the African Organization for Standardization). 2.3 Awareness raising and training materials
Since its inception in November 2012, COPOLCO's dedicated Website, "ISOConsumers" (see facebook.com/ISOConsumers) has grown to over 1’300 followers and its Twitter account (twitter.com/ISOConsumers) to over 1’000 followers. Furthermore, the launch of a forum on the professional networking site, "LinkedIn" to share ideas and tips on consumer participation is under consideration. This is commensurate with generally increasing recognition of the importance of social media in all corporate communication strategies (see ISOfocus, January-February 2014). The electronic newsletter, ISO Consumer update is also continuing to grow; its readership in English counts some 1900 subscribers. See back issues of ISO Consumer update on ISO.org for more information. 3 Reinforcing the credibility of MSS certification
The present and past Chairs of COPOLCO have both actively supported CASCO’s efforts to address fraudulent claims of certification to ISO 9001 and other management system standards, as well as participating actively in CASCO’s plenary and policy working group meetings. The past chair participated in the development of a procedure to handle MSS complaints (see under “conformity assessment” on iso.org), and which has led to the development of an information brochure on the complaints-handling procedure for wide distribution to ISO members and consumer organizations (due to be published shortly).
50
Furthermore, the past and present chair have been engaged in the development of specifications for the pilot database of MSS-certified organizations, CERTO. At this writing, the proposal was being finalized and prepared for discussion by the ISO/Council at its meeting in September 2014.
4 Consumer-facing projects under development
COPOLCO-originated proposals for customer contact centres and energy services are now under development: ISO/PC 273 is developing ISO 18295 on customer contact centres (call centres); this has reached the Committee Draft Stage. Work will start shortly within ISO TC 242, Energy services, on a new project, Assessment and improvement of energy services to users. At its 2014 plenary, COPOLCO approved on unit pricing, instructions for self-assembly of consumer products, and choking hazards of small component parts, for consideration by the Technical Management Board. 5 COPOLCO Guides for standards-writers
ISO/COPOLCO published the revision of ISO/IEC Guide ISO/IEC 51, Safety aspects – Guidelines for their inclusion in standards in March 2014. The Guide is now freely available on a dedicated page of ISO’s Web site, www.iso.org. The Guide outlines a risk reduction approach to risk assessment and improving safety levels for products and systems. Last published in 1999, this Guide has been updated for state-of-the art safety terms and concepts, including needs of vulnerable consumers. This Guide, while aimed at standards-writers, is also a useful reference for designers, manufacturers, service providers, policy makers and regulators. ISO/COPOLCO is leading the revision of ISO/IEC Guide 50, Safety aspects – Guidelines for child safety. This work started early in 2012 and the Enquiry Draft for this Guide was overwhelmingly approved within ISO and IEC. A dedicated working group will deal with the comments and develop a final draft for publication. The revision will likely be published in early 2015. IEC experts have participated actively in the revision of both Guides. Revisions of Guides dealing with graphical symbols, comparative testing, product information for consumers, and packaging are at various stages of development. At the 2014 plenary, COPOLCO also decided to launch new work on standardization of services, including a systematic review consultation for the revision of ISO/IEC Guide 76, Development of Service standards – Recommendations for addressing consumer issues, and a proposal to establish a standing advisory group on services.
6 Membership of COPOLCO
As at end July 2014, COPOLCO counted 124 members: 68 P-members and 56 O-members. The most recent member is DBOS (Dominica), which joined COPOLCO as an "O" member in April 2014. 7 Next meeting
COPOLCO's next workshop and plenary meeting will take place in Geneva on 11-13 May 2015. DEVCO ACTION DEVCO is invited to note the above report.
51
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
ITEM 9 Reports by DEVCO members on technical assistance to developing countries
In parallel to the technical assistance and training activities carried out by ISO, many DEVCO members contribute to the implementation of the Action Plan by providing support to developing countries at the bilateral, regional or international levels.
These activities are reported on annually at the DEVCO meeting. The information is structured under the six outputs (objectives) of the ISO Action Plan in order to better identify synergies, opportunities for enhanced cooperation, and to avoid duplication of effort.
Reports by DEVCO members are included in Annex.

ITEM 10 Lessons learnt from the implementation of the Action Plan 2011-2015 (panel session)
1. INTRODUCTION
This year’s ISO General Assembly and DEVCO meetings are taking place at a time when a consultation is under way to develop and define ISO’s strategy for the period 2016-2020. The consultation document that members will have received stresses the need to build on ISO’s strong base and successes, while at the same time identifying and accommodating future trends, driving factors and risks that might have an effect on ISO and its members. The Action Plan for developing countries is an integral part of ISO’s strategic planning, and therefore needs to be revised in line with ISO’s other activities.
In outlining what would constitute a successful ISO in the year 2020, the consultation document draws on some of the key achievements of ISO and outlines a number of statements that indicate what ISO should be accomplishing by 2020. One of these statements makes it clear that ISO will continue its commitment to providing supportfor its developing country members, by:
• Ensuring the development dimension of international standardization remains a keystrategy of the ISO system; and
• Pursuing initiatives to develop capacity and continually improve the performance ofdeveloping countries that are focused, highly effective and delivered under an innovative Action Plan for developing countries that responds to clear needs.
In the consultation document, members are asked to consider and comment in an online survey on the following:
How should the ISO Action Plan for developing countries be improved? In particular, what more should be done by ISO's governance, membership and the ISO Central Secretariat to:
1. Increase developing country participation in ISO's technical work2. Build the capacity of members in standardization and related matters3. Increase awareness of the role and benefits of standardization4. Improve the institutional strength of ISO members in developing countries.
It is thus seen as appropriate for this year’s DEVCO meeting to devote what time it can, over and above any comments that might have already been made by individual members, to discuss the strategic objectives that ISO should pursue in relation to developing countries and the future of the Action Plan for developing countries in terms of the four lines of action listed above, all of which have been the subject of considerable progress during the past years.
To this end, it is useful to recall that the ISO Strategic Plan 2011-2015 dedicates to developing countries its Key Strategic Objective 3, which reads: "The capacity and
113
participation of developing countries in international standardization is significantly enhanced". The strategy also specifies that "Participation of developing countries ininternational standardization is essential to ensure the global relevance of ISO standards and to contribute to developing countries’ access to world markets, technical progress and sustainable development".
With this in mind, the 48th DEVCO meeting agenda is designed to address these themes, firstly to take stock, in terms of lessons that can be learnt from the implementation of the current Action Plan (agenda item 10), and secondly to hold focused working sessions to capture recommendations for inclusion in the new Action Plan 2016-2020 (agenda item11).
2. TAKING STOCK – LESSIONS LEARNT FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THEACTION PLAN 2011-2015 (DEVCO AGENDA ITEM 10)
The provision of technical assistance needs to be well managed and its impact evaluated. In simple terms: “If you can’t measure something, you can’t evaluate its success or failure,and therefore you can’t manage it effectively or improve it.” It has always been ISO’s practice to evaluate training interventions on the day, by means of survey questionnaires, but owing to the significant increase in the number of activities implemented under the Action Plan in recent years, and the need to demonstrate to donors that these activities are effective, ISO has also put in place a procedure to systematically assess the impact of its technical assistance and training activities.
The impact assessment consists of circulating, 6 to 8 months after the activity, one questionnaire to each participant who has attended a regional or international activity, and a separate questionnaire to each NSB that has hosted a national, regional or international activity. The objective is to assess whether the activity has had a multiplier effect at the national level, and whether the NSB has undertaken steps to ensure a wider dissemination of knowledge gained by the participants it designated to attend a given activity. In short, the impact assessment seeks to determine what each beneficiary is doing differently as a result of the regional or international activity, and how the information imparted in the activity is being disseminated.
Agenda Item 10, which will take the form of a panel session, will open with the facilitator giving a summary of the latest data on ISO’s technical assistance and training activities. This will be followed by short presentations by panellists, one in each of the four key objectives of the current Action Plan, namely increase participation, build capacity, increase awareness and improve the institutional strength of members.
Each presentation is intended to present experiences (benefits, issues, challenges) in relation to specific cases of implementation under the relevant Action Plan objective. A brief question and answer session will follow the last presentation, to enable questions to be posed from the floor, in order to set the scene for the afternoon session, which will focus on the future Action Plan.
114
WORKING SESSIONS
ITEM 11 Shaping of the next Action Plan (2016-2020)
BACKGROUND
Agenda item 11 consists of four separate working sessions running in parallel, each one dedicated to generating recommendations for the establishment of the new Action Plan 2016-2020. At registration time, DEVCO members will chose which session to attend. Each session will be chaired and facilitated by members of the DEVCO Chair’s Advisory Group, with the participation of senior staff members from the ISO Central Secretariat.
The sessions will take 90 minutes, during which each group will consider the activities that were foreseen in the Action Plan 2011-2015, and agree on recommendations based on a number of key questions aimed at optimizing the approach to be taken in the new Action Plan.
The discussions should focus on identifying activities that are generating significant benefits (and therefore need to be continued or strengthened), identifying activities that do not contribute (partly or fully) to achieve the stated objectives (and therefore should be cancelled or modified), and if/where appropriate, propose new activities (even radically new ones) which are considered suitable to drive significant progress.
WORKING SESSION 1 - INCREASE DEVELOPING COUNTRY PARTICIPATION IN ISO TECHNICAL WORK
Action Plan 2011-2015 objectives to achieve increased participation in ISO technical work
Developing countries identify relevant subject areas so that activities to assistinvolvement are focused. ISO/CS and TC/SC leadership provides information onthe role and activities of TCs to facilitate this.
Encourage the establishment of twinning/partnership arrangements between ISOmembers in developing and developed countries. Measure the effectiveness ofsuch arrangements by the increase in leadership positions held by developingcountries over the period of this Action Plan.
Provide resources for developing country participants to attend and effectivelycontribute to meetings of TCs, SCs and WGs that are of relevance to them.
Clearly identify what skills and experience are needed to increase participation inISO technical work and provide regional training and/or distance learning courses tohelp ISO members build these skills and experience directly and amongst theirstakeholders. Specifically provide training that will equip developing countryrepresentatives to carry out roles related to leadership positions in ISO committees(chair, secretary, convenor) or to enter into twinning/partnership arrangements.
Organise regional/national training for ISO members in developing countries on theuse of ISO e-tools to participate in standards development work. Ensure ISO e-tools evolve to meet developing country needs.
115
Overview of activities implemented to date
Technical assistance and training activities in support of increasing the participation of developing countries in ISO technical work represents 8% of the overall expenditure in support of the implementation of the Action Plan. The table overleaf gives an overview of the types of activities carried out during the first 3 years of the 5-year Action Plan.
