Who can become a member of a CGSB standards committee?
All CGSB standards committee members are volunteers. Membership in a CGSB standards committee is open to any individual or organization that has a direct interest in the standards committee’s decisions, an expressed interest in standards development and the demonstrable ability to make an active contribution. The precise composition of each standards committee depends on the subject of the standard under development, but generally includes producers, users, general interest and regulatory representatives. A standards committee has two types of members: voting and information (non-voting). The CGSB strives to ensure that the representation from each category is balanced to prevent any single group from dominating the standards committee’s voting procedures.
