I said that there would be a standardized list of preset sentences, set out in
English as International Standards are produced in English and that the
National Standardization Body for each country would translate the list into
the language of its country and produce a list to convert the codes to the
local language.

Now maybe I am missing some issue here, so if the above suggested process is
regarded as problematic I would like to address any problems that are felt to
exist.

It does not.
In the context of this thread of the pdf document being published, published
means published as in United Kingdom Law about Legal Deposit.
In the particular situation here, published refers to the fact that the pdf
document was published in my family webspace by me, the publisher of the
document.
I am the publisher of the document and also the author of the document.
