Submission process

1 Submission selection

The first step of the submission process is to select the submission type, available from the drop-down list "Create a submission".

Only the possible submission(s) at the current stage will be displayed and available for selection.

2 Title and Project information

In the first box, you will be able to validate the English title of the project. If it does not correspond to the one in the files you are submitting, you will be requested to update it in ISO Projects (if you select "No")

You will also be given the list of relevant Project information for you to check. If anything would need to be corrected, you will be requested to contact your TPM (a direct "Mail to" link to your TPM is available).

Click then on "Continue"

3 Submission information

In the Submission information box, you will be asked to answer some questions, specific to the submission you are undertaking.

For a DIS submission for example: 

  • Does your submission includes graphics?
  • What is the language mode? Mono or multi-lingual? If multilingual, you will be asked to select the languages of the submitted files
  • Does your submission includes inserts?
  • Any comment you want to provide to the ISO/CS team validating the submissions

You will have the opportunity to leave a comment for the ISO/CS team validating the submission; you may provide relevant information for the processing of the submitted files (e.g. about a meeting planned which requires attention to ensure that a ballot closes before a certain deadline, requirements for a special treatment, that a document had been prepared by another organization and should not to be edited, that the standard is based on another existing standard (adoption), TC 145 symbols to be approved, that patents apply to the standard, requests for special publication media, e.g. CD-ROMs, etc.)

4 Add files

Based on the submission type and on your answers to the above questions in the Submission information box, the list of required files to submit will be updated in the "Add files" box

IMPORTANT

  • For projects with an online document (OSD), the reference copy (pdf), and revisable files (word) should not be submitted, only the explanatory report is required: the reference document is the Online Document. If you provide via Submission Interface a Word or PDF file that differ from the Online Document, your submission will be rejected.
  • Since October 1st, 2024 graphics no longer need to be submitted: the asset library is the master source of images.

ISOCS will process the online document to create a clean Word and PDF version which will be made available to members via ISO Projects.

From the screen below, you can now:

  • directly drag and drop documents to your submissions
  • browse files on your computer, and since October 31, 2023, you can retrieve your files directly from within Documents (NB : your document must have the Project number in its metadata to be available from Submissions)
  • select the metadata of each documents after you have selected these.
  • The extension of the file is filled in automatically by the system, as well as the document type by default

Please verify these information and modify it accordingly, before you confirm your submission
