.4 Changes since last ISO/TC 8 plenary: In accordance with TC 8 resolution 204 (Dominica 2001-10-23/24), and in view of the lack of response from Korea (CSK) to ISO/CS letter of 2002-04-09 concerning CSK's failure to participate in the Sub-committee's work, CSK has been downgraded from P- to O-membership. However, by ISO/CS email of 16 November 2001, we were informed that Korea (KATS) has been added as a new P-member. By ISO/CS letter of 2002-02-28, we were informed that Mexico has discontinued its membership in the Sub-committee as an O-member.

　

At its meeting in Tokyo 2002-04-18/19, the Sub-committee approved the establishment of new liaisons with ISO/TC 92/SC 1 (Fire initiation and growth), with Mr. Bjorn Sundstrom proposed as the liaison officer from the TC 92 side and the TC 8/SC 1 Secretary Mr. Kurt Heinz proposed as the liaison officer from the TC 8 side; and with ISO/TC 145/SC 2 (Safety identification, signs, shapes, symbols, and colours), with Mr. John Creak proposed as the liaison officer from the TC 145 side, and Mr. Giovanni Delise proposed as the liaison officer from the TC 8 side. Approval of both proposed liaisons was noted as being conditional upon confirmation by TC 8.

.2 Changes since last ISO/TC 8 plenary: None. Our SC chairman, Mr. Abbate, continues for the time being to act as WG 3 convener as well, a situation which has to date presented no significant conflicts with our method of work.

.1 ISO 799:1986, Shipbuilding -- Pilot ladders [01.01R] (IMO-link-NR 43); in revision, sub-stage 40.99. Editing and graphics preparation continue preparatory to submission to ISO/CS for registration and ballot as FDAM.

At its meeting in Tokyo 2002-04-18/19, the Sub-committee agreed to circulate a Committee Draft of the consolidation of this standard and ISO 7061 Shipbuilding - Aluminium shore gangways for seagoing vessels. Circulation tends editing to incorporate the decisions taken at the Tokyo meeting.

.3 ISO 5489:1986, Shipbuilding -- Embarkation ladders [01.03R] (IMO-link-NR 43); in revision, sub-stage 20.99.
