Standards Documents for Public Review

Comment on New and Revised Standards Documents

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.
