Iso tc 224

Mei-Raanana is using ISO to assess the efficiency of its customer service, taking into consideration the time it takes to respond to a complaint, start working on a leak and repair the leak, the time the customer is without water and, finally, the number of complaints lodged. Uptake of the ISO series is gaining ground around the world, albeit at different paces. Europe and North America have been using performance measures for many years and most utilities are comfortable with these concepts, both on a management and technical level.

A few steps behind, water utilities in Latin America are fast coming to appreciate these standards and the Federal Council of Sanitation Services in Argentina is actively encouraging other water utilities in the country to follow in the footsteps of AdeS and AdeC. The working group will continue to document implementation activities and hope to prepare a technical report on examples of applications of the ISO series.

As illustrated by these examples water service provision therefore requires a diverse range of activities. A standard has already been published on the on-site management of domestic wastewater and other New Work Items Proposals are being brought forward to: complement innovative technical advances in wastewater service provision in developing nations; and address service provision for displaced persons.

Levels of service examples include: provision of drinking water via users' connections, public standpipes or mobile tankers; connection to a public wastewater system and the conveyance, treatment and safe disposal of the wastewater collected; and collection, storage and safe disposal of stormwater runoff.

Secrets of business success in new ISO standard The average lifespan of businesses is shrinking, yet some have been around for hundreds of years. How to stay afloat in a rapidly changing world? A newly published standard aims to help.

This standard establishes minimum design, performance, testing and labeling requirements for solutions that reduce dropped objects incidents in industrial and occupational settings. Dropped objects include hand tools, instrumentation, small parts, structural components and other items that have to be transferred and used at heights.

These objects have the opportunity of becoming dropped objects potentially resulting in struck-by injury or fatality or damage to equipment. This standard focuses on preventative solutions actively used by workers to mitigate these hazards.

This standard is also available to be included in Standards Subscriptions. Standards Subscriptions from ANSI provides a money-saving, multi-user solution for accessing standards. Subscription pricing is determined by: the specific standard s or collections of standards, the number of locations accessing the standards, and the number of employees that need access.
