Requests for interpretation
Requests for interpretations may be submitted by a CEN member body through its national
committee or by a CEN/TC 333 liaison (but not directly by an individual or a company) − in
accordance with the interpretation protocols agreed by CEN/TC 333 and resumed in Doc.
CEN/TC 333 N 182. The requests are then channelled to the relevant TC 333 working
party which will deal with the request.
A request for an interpretation may lead to:
a)
An interpretation of the standard
This should reflect a reasonable interpretation of how the standard should be used,
taking into account:
-
the wording of the standard;
-
the rationale of the standard;
-
the history of the standard.
b)
A no action decision
This is applicable when it is agreed that the standard appropriately specifies how
a cycle or a component shall be assessed.
