Consultation Documents

There is opportunity for SaRS members to influence the content of updates to existing standards and the development of new standards, by conducting reviews and providing comments when standards are published for international comment. The External Technical Activity (ETA) Committee is looking to create a register of reviewers for the various committees. If you are interested in being a reviewer please e-mail info@sars.org.uk addressing your e-mail to the ETA Committee.
