Standard Setting Process
The Standard Setting Process for Fair Music
The process of standard setting is managed by the Fair-Music Project Managemement Team. Decisions about the standards are made by the Fair Music Project Consortium.
After project completion, a Standards Committee will take over the decision making and the process will be managed by a team of experts from the Fair Music Certification Agency (which will be setup during the Fair Music Project).
Standard Setting Procedure
The Fair Music Standard Setting Process follows the general outline of the ISEAL Code of Good Practice on Standard Setting. ISEAL – the International Social and Environmental Accrediation and Labelling Alliance is a formal collaboration of leading international standard-setting and conformity assessment organizations focused on social and environmental issues (http://www.isealalliance.org/code).
The ISEAL code brings a high degree of credibility to the standard setting procedures. Further explanations about ISEAL and about the process can be found at the ISEAL website.The Fair Music Project seeks affiliation with ISEAL and its outlined quality management process.
Standard Setting Process
When new Fair Music Standards are being developed or existing Standards are being reviewed, the relevant stakeholders are consulted. The process is open for comments for stakeholders during each stage of the process.
