Sweden Reorganizes Technical Committees

Sweden Reorganizes Technical Committees

The Swedish standardization organization (SIS) closely follows international and European standardization and is actively involved in the work of different committees. Among them the new CEN/TC 468 Preservation of digital information and TC 46 Information and Documentation.

Two of the Swedish technical committees have been reorganized into one committee in order to cover a full mirroring of TC 46 and its sub-committees. The aim is to better consolidate the work of TC 46 and to avoid missing important work or overlap between committees.

Two national committees have become one, SIS/TK 546 Information management. The new committee is divided into three working groups each one responsible for a specific area: AG 01 “Management system and overall concepts”, AG 02 “Operational management” and AG 03 “Physical preservation”. Each working group has a portfolio of products to manage and an area to monitor. The TK 546 committee also includes a Strategic Working Group to address other issues and concerns related to strategy and methods of work within the SIS/TK 546 committee.
