SPRING Singapore coordinates the national standardisation programme under the guidance of an industry-led national Standards Council, which comprises representatives from the private and public sectors. Singapore Standards are developed on a consensus basis, and are promoted for wide acceptance and adoption by industry and key stakeholders.
The Standards Council formulates the directions, policies, strategies and priorities for the national standardisation programme. It appoints the following 11 Standards Committees (SC) to lead standards development and implementation in various functional / technical areas :
- Biomedical Standards Committee (BMSC)
- Building and Construction Standards Committee (BCSC)
- Chemical Standards Committee (CSC)
- Electrical and Electronic Standards Committee (EESC)
- Energy Standards Committee (ENSC)
- Environment Standards Committee (EVSC)
- Food Standards Committee (FSC)
- General Engineering and Safety Standards Committee (GESSC)
- Information Technology Standards Committee (ITSC)
- Management System Standards Committee (MSSC)
- Silver Industry Standards Committee (SISC)
Under these Standards Committees, various Technical Committees and Working Groups, whose members come from the industry, professional bodies, associations, academia and government agencies, are formed to undertake the preparation of standards. Where relevant, these members also participate in the development of ISO and IEC standards through memberships in relevant ISO and IEC Committees.
