STANDARDS OVERVIEW

Wednesday, April 30, 2015

Karen Reczek, Standards coordination office, national institute of standards and technologykaren.reczek@nist.gov

1Slide2

Today’s Discussion

Part 1: Standards Overview

Part 2: Standards and the OSAC2Slide3

Definitions of a Standard

Common and repeated use of rules, conditions, guidelines or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods, and related management systems practices. (NTTAA of 1995 and OMB Circular A-119 of 1998)

Market-driven technical specification for a product, service, person, process or system with which compliance is voluntary. (Anonymous)

3Slide4

Types of Standards

documentary (technical)

standards

physical (measurement) standards

Certified reference material to aid with calibration of measurements

Specific requirements for the operation of a laboratory related to management system and competence

4Slide5

The U.S. Standards System

The U.S. standards system is voluntary, decentralized, sector and market driven and is, sometimes, competitive and duplicative.

The system relies on cooperation and communication among:

Industry

Private sector standards organizations

Stakeholders

Government

5Slide6

Other Terms for Standards

Best practice

Guide Guideline Guidance

Specification

De

facto standard

Code

6Slide7

Codes are Special Standards

Building Code Example:

Used in the design, build and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures. Prevents disaster occurrence and manages disaster impact - minimizes

the risk and effects.

7Slide8

Notional Forensic Science Code

of Practice

A standard that ties lab practices, crime scene investigation and other forensic services to:the use of standards and guidelines on the OSAC

Registries

laboratory accreditation

personnel competencies

8Slide9

Federal Standards Policy

The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA), and the Office of Management and Budget Circular A119:

Establishes a preference for federal agency use of voluntary consensus standards over government standardsEncourages federal participation in standards development

Authorizes the National Institute of Standards and Technology to coordinate conformity assessment activities of the agencies working with state and local government and the private sector

9Slide10

Key Concepts in Voluntary Consensus Standards

DevelopmentOpenness

All stakeholders may participate; no single interest may dominateTransparency Records/ processes open and publicly available

Due Process

Appeals mechanism

Consensus

Decisions more than majority but not unanimity

10Slide11

Standards Development Life Cycle

11Slide12

Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) – Who are they?

Professional

Societies whose members seek to advance their professions, and also develop standards Trade

Associations promote their industry's products, and also develop standards

International Standards Organizations –

Country member based organization like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International

Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC)

12Slide13

Relevant Forensic Science SDOs

13Slide14

STANDARDS AND THE OSAC

Wednesday, April 30, 2015

Karen Reczek, Chair, Quality Infrastructure Committee (QIC)

14Slide15

OSAC Standards Processes

One process for OSAC Registry Approval

Adoption of a published document Two processes for the development of standards and guidelines

Working with an SDOOSAC Canvass method

15Slide16

OSAC Core Principles

OpennessPublic notice of intent

Public meetingsPublic comment periodBalance Diverse interests representedLack of dominance

Consensus

Due process including appeals

Ensure consideration of all views, proposals and objections and endeavor to reconcile them

Document opposing views or abstentions and process to adjudicate

Make decisions based on available information and documentation

Harmonization

Adoption of existing standards

Identification of gaps and needs

Reduce duplication and inconsistencies

16Slide17

American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

ANSI Essential RequirementsDocumented procedures

Audits to ensure processes are followedAvailable guidance documentsBalance Lack of dominance

OSAC will build off of ANSI members’ procedures for development and coordination of standards

17Slide18

OSAC Registry Approval

– Adoption of a published document

18Slide19

19Slide20

20Slide21

Registry Approval

Subcommittee recommends document for approval

SAC reviews and votes to approve/disapprove moving forward in processIf approved, SAC notifies public and RCs of “intent to place document on a Registry”SAC receives comments from public and RCs (30 days) and reviews

SAC votes to approve/disapprove inclusion on the Registry

If approved by SAC goes to FSSB for vote to approve/disapprove on the Registry

If approved by FSSB, QIC updates online Registry listing

21Slide22

Standards Development – Working with and SDO

22Slide23

Standards Development –

Working with an SDO

Subcommittee recommends working with an SDO on needed standard/guidelineSAC reviews and votes to approve/disapprove moving standard development forward in external SDO processIf approved, SAC notifies public and RCs of “intent to develop a document with ABC SDO”

SAC receives comments from public and RCs (30 days); Subcommittee / Task Group adjudicates comments and sends back to SAC for review

SAC votes to approve/disprove Subcommittee going forward

If approved, Subcommittee/TG works with SDO to draft and ballot a standard through to final publication using SDO’s process

23Slide24

Canvass Method for Creating a Consensus Body

Canvass is the method by which we find participants to develop a consensus body

Any stakeholder is invited to attend. By stakeholder that includes those who are known to be, or have indicated that they are or would be, directly and materially affected by X standardOSAC must define interest categories appropriate to the development of forensic science standards

The most important thing about building a consensus body is achieving

balance of diverse interests

No

one single

interest

can

dominate

Size

is not prescribed and is based on what is necessary to achieve

balance

24Slide25

Standards Developing – OSAC Canvass Method

25Slide26

Standards Development –

OSAC Canvass Method

Subcommittee recommends canvassing method to develop a needed standard/guidelineSAC reviews and votes to approve/disapprove moving forward in canvass processIf approved, SAC notifies public and RCs of “intent to develop a standard and call for interested consensus body participants.”

SAC receives comments from public and RCs (30 days

); Subcommittee / Task Group adjudicates comments and sends back to SAC for review

SAC votes to approve/disapprove Subcommittee/TG going forward

26Slide27

Standards Development –

OSAC Canvass Method (Continued)

6. If approved, Subcommittee/TG selects a balanced consensus body to draft and/or ballot a standard and public comment7. TG adjudicates comments from public and repeats process with consensus body if any changes are made8. Once approved by the consensus body, the document is

final9. Subcommittee votes to send finalized document forward to the SAC to begin the Registry Approval Process

27Slide28

Next Steps

OSAC Subcommittees will begin to recommend existing documents to the SAC for approval onto the OSAC Registries (May 2015)

QIC will continue to work on documenting the procedure for working with an SDO so that OSAC Subcommittees and Task Groups can begin developing new documents in conjunction with an existing SDO (June/July 2015) QIC will finalize interest categories and formal procedures for the OSAC Canvass method including the

formation of a consensus body, voting, comments adjudication and a process for appeals (July/August 2015)
