Subject:	[SC 22 Convenors] Elimination of Limits on Technical Corrigenda

Dear SC 22 Convenors,

It has been a few years since SC 22 first brought this issue to the attention of JTC 1, but I think you will be pleased with the outcome.

Currently, no edition of a standard may have more than two Technical Corrigenda (CORs), and all CORs must be issued within the first three years of the standard's publication. This means that after two CORs or three years, it is impossible to correct an existing edition of a standard, meaning that it is impossible to correct a standard in a way that affects legal contracts that depend on a particular edition.

JTC 1 standards in general, and SC 22 standards in particular, are much larger than the average of about 40 pages for other ISO and IEC standards, so it can be up to 100 times more likely for an SC 22 standard to need CORs than for other ISO and IEC standards.

JTC 1 chair Phil Wennblom has been working on our behalf. It has not been easy to get the Joint ISO/IEC Directives Management Team (JDMT) to listen, but at a meeting this week, the JDMT finally decided that for the 2021 edition of the Directives, they will eliminate the limitations on number and timing of Technical Corrigenda.

Some SC 22 WGs no longer publish CORs. However, some may still need to publish them, and beginning with the 2021 edition of the Directives, that option will be available without the current restrictions on number and timing.

David
