The interest categories appropriate to the development of consensus in any given standards activity are a function of the nature of the standards being developed. Historically the criteria for balance are that a) no single interest category constitutes more than one‑third of the membership of a consensus body dealing with safety-related standards or b) no single interest category constitutes a majority of the membership of a consensus body dealing with other than safety-related standards. If the consensus body member is serving in an individual capacity, then the name of the individual, their sponsors (if any) and interest category shall be made available upon request. The affiliation of a consensus body member refers to the entity that the consensus body member represents, which may or may not be that person’s employer. In addition, the member's name (or if membership is by organization, the name of the organization with a point of contact), affiiliation and interest category of each member of the consensus body shall be made available to interested parties upon request. Notice should include a clear and meaningful description of the purpose of the proposed activity and shall identify a readily available source for further information. Timely and adequate notice of any action to create, revise, reaffirm, or withdraw a standard, and the establishment of a new consensus body shall be provided to all known directly and materially interested parties.
