Technical Organization, Technical Bodies
The ETSI Technical Organization comprises three types of Technical Body (TB): Technical Committee (TC)
ETSI Project (EP) • Market sector and timeframe oriented
ETSI Partnership Project (EPP)• Market sector and timeframe oriented
• In co-operation with external bodies
A Technical Body may establish Working Groups (WG), if required
ETSI’s Technical Committees
Access, Terminals, Transmission & Multiplexing (ATTM)Aeronautical (AERO)Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN)Broadcast
• Joint committee with European Broadcasting Union and CENELECCloud Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (DECT)ETSI Project eHealthElectromagnetic Compatibility & Radio Spectrum (ERM)Electronic Signatures & Infrastructures (ESI)Environmental Engineering (EE)Human Factors (HF)IMS Network Testing (INT)Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)Lawful Interception (LI) Continued…

Industry Specification Group (ISG)
A special type of ETSI committee, focused activity, designed for quick establishmentDecides its own work programme, approves its own deliverables• ISGs produce ETSI Group Specifications (GS) only
All ISGs use ETSI IPR policy• Well-established IPR policy, save time and legal fees compared with setting up a
forum.Each ISG has its own membership• Non-Members of ETSI can participate, under conditions
Each ISG can have its own budget• Decided and paid for by its members, invoiced to them by ETSI• Usually not required
Each ISG can set its own working procedures • Based on ETSI Technical Working Procedures
Each ISG can have its own voting system• Recommended to use ETSI weighted voting, or 1 member 1 vote

ISG: other characteristics
Fast and easy to set up• Minimum 4 ETSI members necessary, approved by Director General • ETSI Secretariat will provide basic support free of charge
Participation is governed by a Industry Specification Group Agreement• Sets out the operation rules, budget mechanism, voting rules etc.
All ETSI members can access all ISG documentsAll ETSI members can participate, if they sign the ISG agreement• Also applicant members• Includes agreeing to contribute to the budget according to this agreement• Access to mailing lists, etc.
Non-members of ETSI can participate• Must sign a Participation agreement including adherence to IPR policy, pay a fee (per
meeting)• Non-members of ETSI have no voting rights• Access to mailing lists, meeting documents, contribution rights

Limitations on an ISG
ISGs only produce ETSI Group Specifications (GS)• Specifically identified as coming from an ISG
ISGs cannot handle activities Mandated by EC/EFTA
ISGs should not handle the following:• health, safety, environment, public interest and the basic
legal/economic interests of consumer related issues

Choice of deliverable type (1)
Specifications and standards (normative)
• TS - ETSI Technical Specification• Short time to market• May be converted later to ES or EN
• ES - ETSI Standard• Preferable/necessary that whole ETSI membership approves
• EN - European Standard (telecommunications series)• Formal output for standardization at European level• Specific to Europe & needs transposition into national standards• or subject of an EC/EFTA mandate
Reference: ETSI Technical Working Procedures, Annexes A & E

Choice of deliverable type (2)
Guides and reports (Informative)
• TR - ETSI Technical Report• Default deliverable
• EG - ETSI Guide• Guidance on handling technical standardization activity in whole or major parts of the
Technical Organization
• ETSI Special Report• General ETSI member or public interest• Also, deliverable with dynamic content generated by software application on ETSI web
site

Standstill, national transposition and withdrawal
ETSI starts work on an EN… National Standards Organisations (NSOs) and ETSI Members are required
to stop any national standards work that could prejudice that EN and not to publish a new or revised standard which is not completely in line with an existing EN ("Standstill")
ETSI publishes the EN… NSOs are required to adopt the EN at national level… ("Transposition")
…and to withdraw any conflicting national standards ("Withdrawal")
