Post 7: Introducing Tallat Naqvi

Introducing…

Tallat Naqvi – Officer – Publications Standards – CCMC

 Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Tallat Naqvi and I am originally from Pakistan. I enjoy cooking, jogging, reading and watching Indian/Pakistani dramas during my free time. I have been working here since 1998 and my responsibilities include preparing drafts/final drafts/publications for parallel ISO projects in line with the Vienna Agreement, handling IEC weekly notifications to CCMC for launching parallel CDV and FDIS procedures in line with the Dresden agreement, handling late translations for CEN and CENELEC, etc. 

What are you working on right now?

I am encoding IEC voting start and end dates, titles in English and French and CDV/FDIS references in our database; then launching and saving the notifications ready for the upload to CENELEC Members on Friday.

What is involved in handling ISO and IEC notifications?

Well, firstly the full text editing is all managed by the ISO/CS and IEC/CO editors in Geneva.  Here in Brussels we issue a dispatch notice for each parallel project.  This dispatch notice consists of a single page where we mention key information like work item number, reference, start and end vote dates, titles, etc.  It's not as time consuming as editing but we have to really verify that the information we provide to our members is correct and not in contradiction with the ISO and IEC data.  Once the ballot start dates are reached, we ensure that an electronic ballot is opened so that our Members can submit their votes and comments.

Did you know?

There are two Agreements established for the cooperation of CEN and ISO work and CENELEC and IEC work.  The Vienna Agreement covers CEN and ISO collaboration and so far this year 31% of CEN's total portfolio of published work is identical or based on ISO work:



The Dresden Agreement covers IEC and CENELEC work and so far this year 78% of CENELEC's total portfolio of published work is identical or based on IEC work:
