TCs and SCs

The CIML allocates the secretariats of TCs and SCs, and the convenerships of PGs to Member States.

TCs, SCs and PGs are composed of

• Participating Members (P-Members): Member States willing to participate actively in the work of TCs, SCs or PGs. P-members have voting rights,
• Observer Members (O-Members): Member States which wish to follow the work of TCs, SCs or PGs without voting rights. Corresponding Members may also be O-Members, and
• Liaison Organizations, which are organizations interested in following the work of TCs, SCs or PGs.

After acceptance by a PG, draft publications are submitted to the CIML for approval, where all Member States have voting rights.

Full details of the procedures for OIML technical work can be found in B 6 Directives for OIML technical work.
