The INCITS Secretariat has received the 2008 List of International Standards published five or ten years ago, or more, for systematic review. The U.S. TAG is required to recommend a vote for the National Body.

In accordance with clause 2.9 of the Procedures for the Technical Work of ISO/IEC Part 1, International Standards coming up to five years of age since publication shall be reviewed by the committee responsible for their development and maintenance. The review aims at deciding whether these International Standards should be confirmed, confirmed with correction of errors, revised/amended, declared as stabilized or withdrawn. The decision regarding confirmation, revision, declared as stabilized, or withdrawal should be based on the degree to which the International Standards have been implemented at the national level and applied in practice.

The INCITS EB members are requested to begin reviewing the documents in preparation for expeditiously determining their vote when the U.S. TAG recommendation is submitted for approval.
