Governing bodies

Public andprivate standards also may be distinguished. PubHc standards iaclude those produced by government bodies and those pubHshed by other organizations but promoted for general use, eg, the ASTM standards. Private standards are issued by a private company for its own interests and generally are not available to parties other than its vendors, customers, and subcontractors. 

ICSID members are professional organizations, promotional societies, educational institutions, government bodies, companies and institutions which aim to contribute to the development of the profession of industrial design. Today ICSID consists of 149 Member Societies, representing 52 countries from all continents (except Antarctica ). These Societies collaborate to establish an international platform through which design institutions worldwide can stay in touch, share common interests and new experiences, and be heard as a powerful voice. 

Government bodies, inspection services, and laboratories are increasingly interested in knowing and selecting analytical systems that provide rapid and reliable yes-or-no responses rather than detailed chemical information. Screening systems are inter-... 

Analysis of the study reports shows that the MEB in the Netherlands and the dmg regulatory authorities of Uganda and Zimbabwe are organized in a board format. The MEB, which is the main DRA in the Netherlands, is organized as a board whose members are appointed directly by the Crown. This appointment procedure makes it relatively free from the influence of other Government bodies. The MCAZ and the Ugandan NDA are also established as statutory authorities, with executive committees plus some specialized advisory committees. Although board members are appointed by the Minister of Health, their independence is established by statute. 

Japan follows the Law for Effective Utilization of Resources, with the collection of used lamps through local governing bodies and treatment/disposal through common authorized lamp recycling facilities. 

Burwell s contributions to the scientific community include service on the governing body of the North American Catalysis Society from 1964 to 1977 as Director, Vice President, and, from 1973 until 1977, President. From 1955 until 1984 he served the International Congress on Catalysis, as a member of the Board of Directors as U.S Representative Vice President and President (1980-84). He chaired the Gordon Research Conference on Catalysis in 1957 and was Associate Editor (1984-88) and a member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Catalysis. He served on National Research Council committees, IUPAC committees, the Petroleum Research Fund Advisory Board, the National Science Foundation... 

A year later in 1942, the major governing body for African-American tennis tournaments—the American Tennis Association (ATA)—sponsored the New York Girls Singles Championship at Althea s club. With her aggressive and dominating style of play, she won the tide easily. It was her (3 0) first of what was to be many victories, on and off the court. 

The OECD Council is the organization s main governing body. 

ASTM standards are developed voluntarily and used voluntarily. They become legally binding only when a government body makes them so or when they are cited in a contract... 

One of the best ways to determine that potential is to examine the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which by law in most jurisdictions must be provided by the manufacturer for any hazardous material used in the workplace and made available to the employees by plant management. The MSDS provides all the information necessary to determine the hazard potential and the requirements for control of any hazardous substance. Still other information can be found in the various guidelines published by the American Industrial Health Association, or by the U.S. National Safety Council, or by NIOSH (the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) or various other national, state, or provincial government bodies. (See Appendix II for information on sources.) Once you have an inventory, of course, you can start relating potential health problems to possible sources in particular areas. Also, in the process of preparing this report, you will begin to build an invaluable library that will stand you in good stead for further consideration of the problems at hand. 

Government bodies have on occasion accelerated clinical trials against advice from researchers, in response to public demands (Exhibit 6.15). The climate today is that due diligence regarding safety has to be performed before the drug is administered to human subjects and that clinical trial submissions have to be approved by the regulatory authorities before the trial commences. 

Before any concentrate management scheme can be implemented, local regulations must be met and any necessary permits acquired. Due to the environmental impacts of the constituents in the concentrate, regulations are often based on the concentration of solution to be disposed rather than the volume (Ahmed et al. 2000). Disposal regulations and permits are defined by various governing bodies, which differ according to the location of the plant and the desired site of disposal. 

The 1960s brought.. . the realisation that running long distances was no more harmful to women than to men. Since this realisation did not extend to governing bodies of athletics, the decade was one of unofficial female participation, particularly in the marathon. 

There are a number of specific tests that are used to measure various physical properties of materials. Many of these tests are described in detail by the various governing bodies that specify testing procedures and conditions. 

There is a strong case for public intervention in vaccine provision, particularly in view of the external benefits of vaccines. It is important that decisions by government bodies reflect both benefits and costs of the alternatives, which the lOM committee s recommendations promoted. Fortunately, although there are some disagreements about how best to quantify benefits of vaccines and of alternative medical interventions, the amount of agreement among the experts far exceeds the areas of disagreement. 

International organization and governing body for shooting sports. 

Normative work to assist States in the ratification and implementation of the international treaties, the development of domestic legislation on drugs, crime and terrorism, and the provision of secretariat and substantive services to the treaty-based and governing bodies and... 

Does creatine cause cancer In early 2001, the media was abuzz with reports that creatine had been linked to cancer. The story stemmed from a report issued by France s Agency of Medical Security for Food (AFSSA), which claimed that creatine posed a potential carcinogenic risk for users and urged all sports governing bodies to institute a ban of the substance. The report was allegedly based on a review of the available scientific research on creatine supplementation. But was the real science lost in translation ...
