Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, is responsible for matters of standardization and prepares standards on health and safety matters relating to welding and allied processes. The consideration of acceptance limits, such as classification into hazard groups, is excluded. The committee also collects information and provides liaison with other related committees. It provides the UK input into ISO/TC 44/SC 9
