DECISION BT 27/2012 (72 nd BT item: 5.3) Subject: EC Mandate M/504 on pyrotechnic articles with a view to Amendment of standard EN 15947 BT 12 BT N 9056 2012-11-23 considering EC Mandate M/504 'Standardization mandate assigned to CEN under Directive 2007/23/EC on pyrotechnic articles with a view to Amendment of standard EN 15947: Fireworks, Categories 1, 2 and 3' as included in Annex to BT N 8970rev (failed BT C72/2012); noting that CEN/TC 212 'Pyrotechnic articles' will consider the comments submitted during the consultation on BT C72/2012 at its plenary meeting in January 2013; decides to postpone its response to the mandate until the opinion of the TC has been established; ask CEN/TC 212 to provide CCMC with its response in view of preparing a new proposal to BT for possible acceptance of the mandate. 5.4 Safety of toys – draft Standards in response to M/445 :for information This decision is applicable as from: 2012-10-24 Verbal CCMC gave an update on progress in response to the mandate which had been accepted in 2009. Two standards were still under development and due to be circulated for Formal Vote in June 2013. CCMC shortened the related administrative procedures and DIN and AFNOR agreed to shorten the translation procedure in order to meet the specified deadlines. In addition, the CEN and CENELEC Members would be asked not to request any extension during the FV. DS highlighted that a lot of work had been carried out on these documents behind which there was a large amount of financing, and referring to the new conditions for financing specified in the new regulation, hoped that they would not be applied retroactively (e.g. if the original deadlines were not met that any financing would have to be paid back to the EC). No objection was raised and the report was noted. 5.5 EN 4618 and prEN 4666 (airplane cabin air quality) – submission to CEN Enquiry :for decision BT N 9001 CCMC Director Standards, in the presence of Günter Lessmann, ASD-STAN, reminded members of how ASD- STAN documents are being processed in the CEN system, thereafter highlighting the issues at stake in relation to airplane cabin air quality, which had already been raised at the 71st BT meeting. Being faced with complaints from workers federations, challenging the concerned (draft) standards as well as the credibility of the CEN system for such 'injected' topics (originating in this case from FP7 results), the CCMC Director Standards had called for a meeting in June 2012. The wide but targeted participation (organisations and workers federations representing on-board aeronautics personnel, ETUI, ANEC, ASD-STAN, EC, EASA and EUROCONTROL) had unanimously agreed to the way forward that stipulated that CEN should take full control of the two documents. The first step would be the submission of both documents to a CEN enquiry. In response to the SNV question as to the handling of comments received during the Enquiry, CCMC confirmed that these would be discussed in a CEN comments resolution meeting, which will ensure that the resulting documents that would be sent to Formal Vote represent the consensus of all stakeholders and in particular the workers federations. SFS asked whether EN 4618 would be withdrawn before the CEN Enquiry in order not to launch an Enquiry on an existing document. CCMC stated that this would not be the case since the standard existed for some years already and the purpose now would be to ascertain its validity. Mr Lessmann added that the document was still valid and accepted by IATA and the Commission. He thanked BT for having been given the opportunity to present this subject.
DECISION BT 19/2012 (72 nd BT item: 5.5) Subject: EN 4618 and prEN 4666 (Airplane air quality) BT, 13 BT N 9056 2012-11-23 - referring to the discussions about the following European Standard and draft prepared by ASD-STAN, as outlined in document BT N 9001: o EN 4618:2009 ‘Aerospace series - Aircraft internal air quality standards, criteria and determination methods’; o prEN 4666 ‘Aerospace series - Aircraft integrated air quality standards, criteria and determination methods’; - considering that these documents include provisions related to the exposure of the general public and workers to substances and conditions that can affect their comfort, health and safety, which is generally not the case for standards prepared by ASD-STAN; - asks CCMC to submit both documents to a CEN Enquiry, under the following conditions: o as regards EN 4618: submission of the text of EN 4618:2009 to a five-month CEN Enquiry in February 2013; o as regards prEN 4666: submission to a five-month CEN Enquiry of a revised version of the January 2011 draft, as and when provided by ASD-STAN, but not earlier than February 2013; - considering that a not insignificant objective of the above-mentioned CEN Enquiries is to establish the position of the CEN community as regards the appropriate type of deliverable for the two documents in question, asks CCMC to remind the BT members of this element at the moment these CEN Enquiries are being initiated. 5.6 Creation of a new PC on ''Terminology services to support Integrated applications of management systems with focus on small organisations and in a multilingual environment'' – ASI proposal (follow-up of failed BT C49/2012) -ASI response to comments received -Form A revised -Description of the Generic Integrated Management System -Concept structure :for decision This decision is applicable as from: 2012-10-24 BT N 8914 BT N 8914a1 BT N 8914a2 BT N 8914a3 BT N 8914a4 BT N 8914a5 CCMC introduced the subject, stating that the proposal had failed due to fundamental disagreements from DIN and PKN, as well as low commitment from members. After discussion with the proposer, further information was submitted in addition to a modified Form A. ASI stressed that the intention was to provide a terminology policy and that the Form A had been improved to clarify this. The resulting standard would be a tool for suppliers to present to contractors. The main users would be consultancies and software companies. ASI committed to ensure that any work done would be in compliance with the Internal Regulations and would not favour any particular company. In view of the interest expressed by a number of countries in this work but the concerns raised with regard to developing a standard, it was agreed that a CEN Workshop Agreement could satisfy the needs of the proposers. DECISION BT 28/2012 (72 nd BT item: 5.6) Subject: Form A for a CEN/TC 'Terminology services to support integrated applications of management systems with focus on small organisations and in multilingual environment' BT, having considered - the proposal for new work (Form A) on 'Terminology services to support Integrated applications of management systems with focus on small organisations and in multilingual environment' submitted by ASI as included in BT N 8914, circulated as draft BT C49/2012; - that BT C49/2012 was declared failed following the submission of a fundamental disagreement and two disagreements with related comments as well as insufficient commitment to participate; - the new Form A 'Terminology Policy to support generic applications of management Systems with focus on small Organisations and in a Multilingual Environment' submitted by ASI as included in BT N 9814 Addendum 3 and
