* in formation The individual
standards are elaborated by internationally composed Working Groups
(Table 1; the national standardization bodies entrusted with
convenorship are identified in brackets). Each nation, as a rule,
is represented by a single, highly competent professional. In their
personal composition, the Working Groups should combine the expertise
of designers, constructors and users. Membership should comprise not
only the highly developed, but also the emerging nations: their role
in cleanroom technology is constantly increasing. A broad base in
competence and experience - gained under most differing circumstances
- forms the background for the technical deliberations and ensures
a high quality level of the determinations arrived at. This quality
level is further enhanced by the requirement of consensus decisions
on Working Group level. This serves to eliminate vague and prejudiced
determinations from the drafts and this is a most important factor
for ensuring future acceptance of the standard by the world's community
of professionals. Also furthering acceptance is, of course, the democratically
transparent approval procedure established for the ISO and CEN standardization
effort.
