2. To comment on the individual standards, click on each title that is of interest in the list above. (Standards marked LEGACY do not have links as they have been identified, in this or previous review projects, as potentially still being used but are predominantly older versions and have been replaced or embedded into other NOS. However, they will remain available on the database.) This will take you to the draft content of the standard. Once there you can:
- give a general response to the draft by clicking on one of the buttons at the top to
- indicate the standard is not relevant to you
- tell us you’re happy with the draft as it is
- make a comment about the draft as a whole
- comment on the content of each draft. Just hover your mouse over part of the text. A pop-up box will invite you to comment on the text – just click on your preferred link.
To help us gather comprehensive feedback we would appreciate it if you could take the time to give in-depth comments on at least three of the draft NOS.
When you’ve finished just click on the ‘Return to previous page’ button at the top left of the page. This will take you back here.
