Second Supplementary Report: Developments in the relationship between the ILO and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), including in the field of occupational safety and health
Noting the progress but expressing concern at continuing challenges of recent collaboration with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Governing Body:
(a) requested the Director-General to seek to urgently resolve with the ISO, through high-level contacts, the disputed interpretation over certain elements of the Agreement;
(b) decided to extend the pilot implementation of the ILO–ISO agreement of 2013, for the time necessary for the ILO’s effective participation in the development of ISO 45001 and up to one year;
(c) decided to review the implementation of the ILO–ISO agreements at its 325th Session (November 2015).
