Background

Feedback from users and other stakeholders on specific EPB standards and related technical reports has been collected over the years and evaluated by EPB Center experts.

Proposals (comments and suggestions) that could be taken into consideration in the context of future revisions are collected and published as a comment file on a specific EPB document, using the ISO commenting template.

This standardized format ensures an efficient communication with the relevant CEN or ISO committee(s) at an appropriate moment.

Feedback?

Additional feedback on an EPB standard or technical report can be submitted via the contact form. Please describe the issue clearly. The EPB Center intends, at the appropriate time, to forward all clarifications and proposals to CEN or ISO for potential use in future updates of the EPB documents. If a specific EPB standard or technical report is under review or other ballot, comments or suggestions should be communicated directly to the National Standards Bodies who are preparing the votes.
