Design codes and standards

Agreed that this needs a long term exercise, since each code/ standard has been laboriously compiled after agreement by teams of discipline experts. Also most codes/ standards have been in place for decades as per many examples discussed at the Consolidation Roundtable on 19 Oct. 2016.
Mr. Hari Hegde
(Wipro) (Team Leader) offered to lead the setting up of this Team, by nominating and sourcing some key members e.g. from those involved with the ongoing review of the National Building Code. Secondly, Dr. Harshavardhan Subba Rao (Construma Consultancy) and Mr. Sharad Sabnis (TRIL) volunteered to join this Team.

We invite you to nominate any suitable/ well positioned persons e.g. those currently or previously involved with up-dating codes/ standards who would (a) work out a stage-wise strategy, and (b) identify which codes/ standards to target in the first stage.
