The IHFCA Secretariat shall conduct a preliminary review of the project
application materials, including the
completeness of the application materials, the standardization of the
text, the rationality of the standardization
object, the wide application, etc. If the preliminary review is passed,
a technical meeting for project establishment
will be held for review.
Based on the review opinions and relevant meeting conclusion materials
submitted by the Executive Secretary, the
Association's Secretariat will review the project application materials
and members' opinions again. A final project
conclusion will be formed and disclosed publicly by meeting minutes.
During the standard drafting process, in-depth investigation and analysis
will be carried out, and experimental
verification of necessary indicators will be carried out based on the
summary of scientific and technological research
results and industry practice experience.
The review will be conducted in the form of a meeting and will be led by
the review group. The draft for approval will
