Such as making constructive criticisms of the poorly-written standards to your national standards committee? Industry gets the standards it deserves: if people won't put in the effort to get good, well-written standards, they get poor ones. Hi John, actually yes. I've served on committees, or advised on draft Standards since the mid 80s. Not in Europe, or with European documents though. I've found the US National Committee ( I live in Chicago ) unreceptive to assistance. Since I finance committee work myself, guess how much I persist pursuing committees where input is NOT encouraged.... On the other hand, the automotive and Aerospace industries have been highly receptive: that's where I spend my efforts. I strongly believe that the quality of the Standards reflects the committees in charge, and those that work on them. MHO is that right now, they work with technology and on timescales that do not reflect the needs of today's industry. Enough Said.
