4 March 2009, London SCI, 14-15 Belgrave Square
The event is intended to present a background to the development of the standard and the results of field trials carried out prior to the publication of the draft for public comment.
Feedback will be elicited from those attending the event in order to supplement the documented returns from the public comment stage of the standardization process. Such feedback will form a vital step in the document development prior to publication.
