Project Proposal Number - Standards Australia...Approved Project Proposals Tenth Round Project...

Approved Project Proposals Tenth Round Project Prioritisation and Selection Process Standards Australia is committed to developing internationally aligned Australian Standards in the national interest. Standards Australia’s Prioritisation and Selection Process is used to assess, select and prioritise new Standards development projects to be resourced by Standards Australia. This process ensures Standards Australia’s resources are allocated where they can deliver greatest benefit to the community and in a manner that allows Standards Australia to operate on a sustainable basis. Stakeholders submit proposals to develop, revise, amend and reconfirm Standards in order to meet identified needs. Proponents are required to demonstrate they have consulted broadly as part of their submission. This update is provided as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency.

Standards Australia has recently completed its assessment of the 94 proposals received for consideration under the tenth round of the Prioritisation and Selection Process. Together these proposals included 231 Australian Standards development projects. The assessment process was rigorous and equitable and was overseen and approved by the Standards Development Committee (SDC) of Standards Australia, a sub-committee of the Standards Australia Board. Each proposal was extensively reviewed and assessed against the documented criteria for eligibility, including net benefit. Factors such as referencing in legislation, project risks, international alignment and public priorities were all considered. The Standards Development Committee approved 150 projects to commence progressively from June 2015. The approved projects, listed below, covered a wide diversity of sectors and we are pleased to again support proposals of vital industry and community interest. Sector reference Each proposal in the following pages references a Standards Australia sector, as set out below: No. Sector 1 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Food 2 Mining 3 Manufacturing and Processing 4 Building and Construction 5 Electrotechnology and Energy 6 Water and Waste Services 7 Transport and Logistics 8 Health and Community Services 9 Consumer Products Services and Safety 10 Education and Training Services 11 Communications, Information, technology and
