9TC67 Plenary Meeting Review- Relevant Resolution

Resolution 8 (Beijing, 2008) ISO/TC 67 approves the revised SC6 target dates as presented in document N 1026 Add 1, and decides to reallocate the Compact Flange Project, 27509, to SC6/WG 5.

Resolution 9 (Beijing, 2008) ISO/TC 67 requests its Management Committee to review the SC6 Process Guide and determine if it can be used as a template for work within other TC67 subcommittees and with other standards developing organizations.

Resolution 13 (Beijing, 2008) ISO/TC 67 requests its P-members either confirm their existing or nominate new technical experts to TC 67/WG2 to work on the next edition of TS 29001, with an initial meeting planned for 22 January, San Antonio, USA. WG2 Secretary is requested to make a call for experts.

The nextplenary meeting of TC67 will be 2009-10-01 to 2009-10-02 in Victoria, British Columbia.

The 2010 meeting is planned forDoha, Qatar.

10SC4 Outstanding Resolutions

Resolution 3 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 encourages the WG convenors to make use of funding available from OGP and API for editorial services.

Resolution 6 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 recommends that aNWIP is required to address the heavy-wall drill pipe work and to encourage API and other national bodies to incorporate any work that needs to be added this next edition of ISO 10424-1, as an enhancement to the existing requirements.

Resolution 7 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 recommends that a NWIP is raised for the next revision of ISO 13626 to proceed under the minor revision process. Systematic review closed 3/16/09.

Resolution 8 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 recommends that a NWIP is required in order to align the existing ISO 14693 document with the modified addenda of API Spec 7K, 4th Edition (currently equivalent document) since these modified addenda were published in 2007. Systematic review closed 3/16/09.

Resolution 9 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 requests its secretariat to ensure that the work programme information is routinely updated on the ISO/TC 67/SC 4 website.

Resolution 12 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 recommends that API poll the API Licensees on API Spec 6A to determine their position on the use of castings vs forgings for PSL 3 or higher and to report the results to the WG3 convenor by the end of September 2008.

Resolution 15 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 requests all WG convenors update their WG rosters to account for PL representation on the WG and listing sub-workgroup task force membership.

Resolution 16 (Calgary, 2008) ISO/TC 67/SC 4 recommends that a NWIP for ISO 13628-7 be developed by WG6.NWI open for ballot. Closes 4/30/2009

All the remaining resolutions have been closed.
