Background

• Issues
• Common problems faced by THCs in harmonizing
  standards
• Lack of mechanism for sharing common problems and
  creative solutions
• Objectives
• Establish a mechanism to address one common issue
  faced by THCs, polymeric component material

Next Steps

• THC and THSC Chairs determine if CAG scope is
  applicable to your work program
• THC/THSC prepare input from Work Program for
  CAG review (template provided)
• If THC/THSC has developed a resolution - Share
  method with CAG (template provided)

CAG Horizontal Reference Standards

Expected Results

• Compare and classify common methods of reference
• Review THC/THSC prepared resolutions
• Recommend best practice for treatment of common
  methods of reference
• Recommend a methodology for addressing scopes of
  other reference standards in CANENA work programs
• CAG Horizontal Reference
  Standards
