WHO WE ARE
ISO/TC 342 is a committee established in 2023 under the leadership of SAC (China), with a global membership including a steadily increasing number of countries and organizations in liaison involved such as FEACO, ICMCI, IFWL, ODCCN and SAVE International, reflecting the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of management consultancy.
ISO/TC 342’s scope covers standardization in the field of management consultancy, excluding technical aspects already covered by ISO/TC 225 (Market, opinion and social research) and ISO/TC 260 (Human resource management).
We also maintain close working relationships with several other ISO technical committees, including 15 Liaison Committees from ISO/TC 342 and 5 Liaison Committees to ISO/TC 342, ensuring coherence and complementarity across related standardization fields.
