The RESNA Assistive Technology Standards Board (ATSB) and Committees serve as the ANSI accredited U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO/TC 173, ISO/TC 173/SC1 and ISO/TC 173/SC3. Particular ATS Committees typically serve as U.S. TAG Subgroups. For example, the RESNA Committee on Wheelchairs and Transportation serves as a U.S. TAG Subgroup for ISO/TC 173/SC 1/WG 6.

ISO/TC 173/SC 3 Aids for Ostomy and Incontinence

On July 3, 2024, RESNA was formally approved as the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO TC 173/SC 3, Aids for ostomy and incontinence. 

This TAG currently does not have any mirror RESNA Standards Committees.

Participation will allow you and your organization to have a voice and vote as to how this group of standards are developed and modified now and in the future. Through this work, you have the opportunity to advance the development, management, and safety of ostomy and incontinence aids and, as a result, directly improve the lives of those who use these products.

If you are interested in joining this new TAG, please complete a membership application form.

Please contact technicalstandards@resna.org with any questions.
