Friday was dedicated to plenary meetings in two sub-committees, and a parallel working group 18 (ISO/TC 10/WG 18) meeting.

ISO/TC 10/SC 6 reviewed progress across its working groups. One key outcome was agreement to initiate new ISO 25562 projects on optimization of mechanical products, with New Project (NP) ballots to follow.

ISO/TC 10/SC 8 also held its plenary meeting. While the current work program is relatively limited, new project ideas were discussed, including further development of the ISO 4157 series for designation of building parts.

WG 18 focuses on drawing and writing instruments, a reminder of the committee’s long history. Among the topics discussed was the viscosity of fluids used in ballpoint pens.
