Documents in Development

Standards Documents for Public Comment

Provide Input on New and Revised Standards

Help shape the standards that affect your day-to-day work. To preserve the integrity of standards developed through the CLSI consensus process, we seek input from all constituents and stakeholders on our in-process draft documents before they are approved for publication. We encourage your involvement in shaping our documents to ensure all interested parties are given a voice.

The review and comment period provides an opportunity for the public to offer input on CLSI draft consensus documents while in development. At the end of the review and comment period, the document development committee reviews and responds to all comments received and revises the draft document as appropriate.

How to Comment

Public comments are invited on draft documents in active development or revision.

Documents ready for comment are listed above (and announced via email notifications).

Constituents submit a request for access to the commenting platform and the relevant draft documents.

Access to the commenting platform is via your MyCLSI account. 

Comments must be submitted within the timeline specified in the open calls for review (typically a 45-day window).

Comments are reviewed and resolved by the relevant document development committee.
