  1. Technical Committees 101 or, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Technical Committees* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)

  2. Welcome to CORROSION 2014! • NACE CORROSION 2014 Annual Conference and Exhibition • 6,000+ attendees • 380+ exhibitors • 1,000+ hours of lectures, forums, tutorials, technical symposia, and meetings • Technical program • Committee meetings • Seminars and lectures • Training opportunities • Networking venues • Exhibits

  3. Technical Committees 101 • What are technical committees? • Why should I participate? • How can I participate? • How are technical committees organized? • What are some new committees? • What standards do these committees develop? • Q&A

  4. What are NACE Technical Committees? • There are several types of technical committees, but all share information about corrosion • Committees can meet to develop standards and publications, or to sponsor symposia and technical information exchanges • Task Groups (TGs) develop some form of document, such as a standard • Standard Practice (SP) • Test Method (TM) • Material Requirement (MR) • Technical Committee Report (TCR)or other form of publication • Technology Exchange Groups (TEGs) sponsor technical information exchanges (TIEs) or sponsor symposia at Annual Conference

  5. What are NACE Technical Committees? • 328 Technical Committees • 27 Specific Technology Groups (STGs) • 155 Standards • 55 Technical Committee Reports • 2 Corrosion Management Guides • 41 Symposia at NACE CORROSION 2014 Annual Conference and Exhibition

  6. How to Read the Numbers • Numbering of Technical Committees • STGs have two digits: 01, 02, 03, etc. • TGs have three digits: 084, 165, 299, 370, 426 • TEGs have three digits, followed by an “X”; 191X, 202X, 314X, 407X • Why the X? “Technical Information Exchange”

  7. Why Participate? • Develop standards that the industry needs • Corrosion standards improve public safety and save money by increasing efficiency and reliability, by incorporating industry expertise and experience • Industry standards reduce costs by eliminating duplication of effort in company specifications • Standards lead the way for industry practices and allow a common language • NACE standards are the bar by which corrosion procedures are measured • Many standards are incorporated into regulations and laws • Keep abreast of new corrosion threats and new technologies to address them • New technology is constantly expanding the demand for new standards • Incorporate your industry’s, your company’s, and your personal perspective into new and existing standards • Share your knowledge and experience to improve the industry

  8. Levels of Participation • Participation in technical committees can be achieved at several levels. • Spectator • Participant • Active Participant • Leader • You may elect to participate at different levels in different topics, for example, as an active participant in coatings committees, but as a spectator in cathodic protection committees.

  9. Spectator • You can review the published NACE standards at the NACE Store • Electronic format (PDF) standards can be downloaded free by NACE members Click the image to go to the site on nace.org

  10. Spectator • Anyone can stay up-to-date on committee activities by visiting the new public face to NACE technical committees on the NACE Web site. Click the image to go to the site on nace.org

  11. Spectator • Specific Technology Groups (STGs) organize the NACE technical committees by industry or topic • Find an STG of interest, and then drill down to see the committees within that STG Click the image to go to the site on nace.org

  12. Spectator By periodically reviewing the Web pages of committees of interest, you can stay abreast of standards development and information in new NACE publications. Standards and publications represent consensus industry practices. Industry standards share best­ practices with others, incorporating expertise and experience from a broad group. Industry standards can increase safety, provide more effective methods and procedures, and reduce costs by more efficient methods and by eliminating duplication of effort in company specifications.

  15. Participant • The members of an STG are the voting pool for draft publications and standards • By joining a STG, you will have the opportunity to vote and comment on all new documents proposed by the technical committees that are part of the STG. • STG membership is open to all NACE members; just click on the “Join This Committee” button (requires NACE login) Click the image to go to the site on nace.org

  16. Participant • Or you can go to the STG registration page and join any STG with just one click Click the image to go to the site on nace.org

  17. Participant • Other ways of participating include attending the annual conference • CORROSION 2015 is March 8-12, 2015, in Dallas, Texas, USA, • or attending Corrosion Technology Week (CTW) • CTW/2014 is September 21-25, 2014, in Alexandria, Virginia, USA. • Committee meetings of all kinds are open to conference attendees, and there are many symposia, technical information exchanges, and other activities • Following the conferences, you can download conference papers, minutes, and drafts of publications from the NACE Web site

  18. Active Participant To become an active participant, join a technical committee or author a symposium paper Committee members work on developing publications or sponsoring technical exchanges and symposia Authors of technical papers will have their paper published by NACE, and present the results of their papers during the technical symposia at CORROSION, NACE’s annual conference Each symposium needs reviewers to review the content of technical papers and presentations, and ensure that they meet NACE style requirements

  19. Leader • There are opportunities for leadership at many levels in technical committees • Task groups, technology exchange groups, and symposia each have a chair and vice chair responsible for ensuring the committees follow the established NACE guidelines • STGs manage and guide the technical committees that fall within their topic or industry, and each STG has a chair and a vice chair • The five Technology Management Groups that oversee all of the STGs have a number of positions • Technology Coordinator and Associate Technology Coordinator • Program Coordinator and Associate Program Coordinator • The Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) oversees the TMGs • The Technical and Research Activities Committee (TRAC) oversees TCC • The NACE Board of Directors oversees TRAC
