What does ISO Committee for Industrial Data do?

Scope of ISO/TC 184/SC 4 Industrial Data:

Standardization of the content, meaning, structure, representation and quality management of the information required to define an engineered product and its characteristics at any required level of detail at any part of its lifecycle from conception through disposal, together with the interfaces required to deliver and collect the information necessary to support any business or technical process or service related to that engineered product during its lifecycle.

What is Industry Day?

Industry Day is part of the ISO/TC 184/SC 4 Industrial Data bi-annual Plenary week of events. During the Plenary week, experts from current ISO/TC 184/SC 4 member organizations (small, medium, and Fortune 500 businesses; government agencies; universities), based in countries all over the world, come together to discuss and develop open, internationally agreed, consensus-based ISO industrial data standards to the benefit of each member and the entire international community.

Unlike the rest of the week’s events, Industry Day may be attended by both insiders (those experts at organizations already participating in the committee) and outsiders (stakeholders not yet participating but potentially affected by or affecting the work of ISO/TC 184/SC 4).

Industry Day may be set up as a conference, workshop, or field trip to, for instance, a factory to see standards in action.

No matter the format, Industry Day is intended to raise awareness of what the committee does and is planning, encourage additional stakeholders to get involved, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the committee through the engagement of and the fostering of mutually beneficial relationships among the Industry Day participants.

This Industry Day is designed as a workshop and is dedicated to two themes intended specifically to elicit input from all attendees in a conversation to increase stakeholder participation and advance the quality, relevance, and adoption of ISO industrial data standards:

What are the benefits of participation in the ISO Committee (ISO/TC 184/SC 4) for Industrial Data Standards?
How can academic research, training, and education support stakeholders’ engagement with standards?

Agenda for “Stakeholders’ Workshop” : Wednesday, 2025-05-21, ISO/TC 184/SC 4 Plenary’s Industry Day Event
08:00 CDT/12:00 UTC	Convene in meeting room

10:00 CDT/14:00 UTC	How have standards developed in ISO/TC 184/SC 4 been implemented by stakeholders? What are current plans for new standards development areas? What are some standards needs yet unmet that may serve as future areas of development?
10:45 CDT/14:45 UTC	Who benefits from participation in the committee? Why may stakeholders fail to engage and how can their participation be increased? With every organization limited to some extent by resource constraints, how may current and potential experts best make the case for ISO/TC 184/SC 4 participation to their organizations?

Is your organization interested in participating in ISO/TC 184/SC 4 Industrial Data?

Participation in ISO is through one’s national standards body. The rules for joining vary by country. Each country has a “mirror committee” for each ISO committee for which it has membership; organizations join these mirror committees to request their experts participate in the relevant committee working groups where standards are developed.

You can find the contact information for your national standards body here (https://www.iso.org/about/members). The national standards body can inform you on how to get involved.

In the United States, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is the national standards body. The US mirror committee for an ISO committee is the ANSI-accredited US Technical Advisory Group (US TAG).

ECCMA is the administrator of the US TAG for ISO/TC 184/SC 4 Industrial Data. US organizations interested in becoming a member of ISO/TC 184/SC 4 can learn more here and please contact USTAG@eccma.org if you are ready to join or have questions.
