[SystemSafety] Making Standards available to Standards Committees

[Peter Bernard Ladkin]

I should have said one other thing, but forgot until I was just reminded by a bee who flew in the
window.

A relatively effortless way to ameliorate the accessibility issue would be for national standards
organisations to accept English as an official language for engineering standards. Then they could
just adopt IEC standards word-for-word as local country standards, as most English-speaking
countries do now.

Most national-standards organisations seem to have ways of making national standards easily
available to educational institutions and professional organisations within the country, so this
move would leverage those existing arrangements.

The way to get that to happen would be to lobby one's national professional engineering
organisation(s) to get them to lobby the national standards organisation.
