I'll answer this bit now, because it's too late an hour to answer the
difficult bit!

BSI committees are formed from representatives of trade associations,
government departments, public bodies, consumer interests and some
academics. If your company is a member of a trade association (BFA?),
you could be appointed to represent that body on BSI EPL/92. Now that
BREMA is merging with FEI, it would be a good thing to have a
representative of hi-fi manufacturers on the committee. If you want to
progress that, send me an e-mail and I'll explain the procedure.

IEC Working Groups are formed from 'experts' appointed by national
standards bodies. They do not represent anyone but themselves. IEC
Technical and Sub-committees are formed from delegates, not 'members',
appointed by the national standards committees.
