Default Permissions for National Mirror Committee (NMC) members

NMC members only have access to the online document during NP ballot, CD Consultation, DIS/FDIS ballot, i.e. the balloting stages: 10.20; 30.20; 40.20; 50.20. NMC members are encouraged to check with their ISO National Standards Body (NSB) administrator for more information on how their national mirror committees are mapped with the ISO committees in the Global Directory (GD), and which option for commenting (Option A or Option B) should they use in the OSD. Whether an ISO NSB uses Option A or Option B for commenting in OSD, depends on the extent of the NSB mapping of their national mirror committees in the ISO Global Directory.


The National Committee (NMC) must map either the WG or the committee in which the project is developed. For example, if the project is developed in ISO/TC 34/SC 8/WG 6, the NMC must be mapped either to ISO/TC 34/SC 8 or the ISO/TC 34/SC 8/WG 6.
