Document Development Committee
What is a Document Development Committee?
Comprised of a balanced representation from government, industry, and the health care professions, a CLSI document development committee is a group of technical experts who work together to develop a CLSI document.
What positions are available and what do they entail?
Comprised of a balanced representation from government, industry, and the health care professions, a CLSI document development committee is a group of technical experts who work together to develop a CLSI document.
*Position has voting rights on the committee.
How often does the committee meet?
Document development committee volunteers meet virtually several times throughout the project. However, a document development committee typically only meets in person once. There is no attendance fee for meetings, but registration is required. Your CLSI project manager will notify you of the planned and expected meetings at the start of the project, and will provide announcements, agendas, and other pertinent materials before each meeting.
What can I expect as a committee volunteer?
Committee volunteers meet regularly—in person and virtually—throughout the development process to review the draft document, discuss and resolve issues related to the document's content, and to ensure the committee is on schedule with respect to the document development timeline.
Once the draft is finalized by the committee, it is circulated for Proposed Draft review and vote by the committee, the responsible expert panel, and the CLSI member delegates. After the vote, the committee reviews and responds to all comments received. The Final Draft document is then prepared and submitted to the Consensus Council for review and approval. Once approved, the document is prepared for publication.
On average, it takes 24 months to complete a CLSI document. As a committee volunteer, you are asked to commit to participating for the duration of the project.
Document Development Committee Lists - NEW
Our committees are the heart of CLSI. Beginning September 2025, CLSI is publishing DDC lists here on the website. CLSI is grateful for the contributions of all the subject matter experts that generously dedicate their time and expertise to standards development. These laboratorians, clinicians, industry professionals, and academic leaders bring their knowledge and experience to ensure every document reflects best practices and supports quality patient care worldwide. By working together, committee members help drive progress, foster innovation, and uphold the values of excellence in laboratory medicine.
We thank these committed volunteers for their valued contributions and will continue to add new document committee lists as the projects go to public review.
