  3. Who Can be a Member of ICSCA ? • Any industrial company or industry association sharing the ICSCA vision is free to join and participate in the program of work. • Other organizations active in the area of standardization or conformity assessment can attend meetings as invited guests, but without voting privileges.

  4. What is the Vision of ICSCA ? • To have the ICSCA perceived as a valuable resource for both the public and private sectors in the development of global trade initiatives that: • advance the well-being of the peoples of the world by eliminating non-tariff barriers to trade and commerce. • foster implementation of globally accepted systems that will promote global trade. • enhance the value of products by supporting common global activities. • prevent the misuse of standards development practices. • reduce the transition time to move from paper to electronic communications systems. • And: to have this vision shared by companies and people in all reaches of the world.

  5. What Are the Main Goals of the ICSCA (1)? ICSCA members sharea vision of increased trade and commerce through the appropriate application of industry used standards and the belief that such standards should add value to the products affected by them. ICSCA work has been focused uponconformity assessment requirements andagreeing upon ways to improve the global "system" for standards development.

  6. What Are the Main Goals of the ICSCA (2)? As an informal and consultative body performing a continuous benchmarking on common industry viewpoints members share a vision to: • To be a valuable catalyst in helping ISO and IEC achieve their objectives more quickly. • To implement standards that facilitate global business, and add value to it, and to everybody’s welfare. • To promote international standards that are accepted world-wide. • To promote such standards that support the goal of having products "tested once and accepted everywhere". • To coordinate industry’s viewpoints on standardization and conformity assessment policies. • To contribute actively to the dialogue with governments, e.g. in the TABD (TransAtlantic Business Dialogue) and other global trade initiatives. • NOT: to write standards in ICSCA itself.

  7. How Does ICSCA Conduct its Work? ICSCA members thoroughly discuss all aspects of key issues and develop resolutions reflecting common views which members then promote in other relevant organizations. Meetings take place at least once a year, alternating between locations in Europe and the US and are co-chaired by executives from European and U.S. companies. Task forces for special items are organized and meet when necessary. Between meetings issues are pursued by e-mail.
