FAQs
Q. Does the D&D Dashboard show all technology standards?
No. While the scope of the Dashboard is limited to just eight technology areas, there are many committees working on technology standards both nationally and internationally on topics ranging from biometrics to telecommunications. You can view the full list of international committees on the ISO and IEC websites.
Q. What is the difference between international and national standards?
International standards are standards developed by international standards bodies, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Australian Standards are standards developed or adopted by Standards Australia or an accredited Standards Development Organisation. Adopted standards are international standards that are recognised as Australian standards.
Q. Who develops data & digital standards and how are they developed?
Standards are developed by committees of technical experts. These committees are constituted with experts from academia, industry, government, and community and balanced to ensure all interests are represented. Technical committees develop standards using a model of consensus that brings together diverse interests to agree on the content of technical documents.
