Subject: 2021 Directives part 2 change regarding TRs

Dear SC 22 Convenors,

There is a change in the 2021 Directives part 2 that affects some SC 22 TRs. TRs are now forbidden to contain recommendations. The "Note 3 to entry" below is new as of this month.

---

3.1.8

Technical Report

TR

document (3.1.1) published by ISO or IEC containing collected data of a different kind from that normally published as an International Standard (3.1.4) or Technical Specification (3.1.5)

Note 1 to entry: Such data may include, for example, data obtained from a survey carried out among the national bodies, data on work in other international organizations or data on the state of the art (3.4) in relation to standards of national bodies on a particular subject.

Note 2 to entry: Prior to mid-1999, Technical Reports were designated as Technical Reports of type 3.

Note 3 to entry: The content of a Technical Report is not permitted to include requirements (3.3.3), recommendations (3.3.4) or permissions (3.3.5).

---

It was always understood that TRs could not contain normative text, but this goes further. TRs that contain guidance, as some SC 22 TRs do, will need to become International Standards if they are revised. New editions will be scrutinized according to the prohibition against recommendations.

I hope this will save you from finding out at the last minute that extra work will be required when revising some TRs.

David
