8 STEPS
A CODEX standard –
flexible, transparent
and inclusive
Possible projects for new standards are usually first discussed at technical committees (discussion papers). Codex members may also directly submit project documents.
STEP 4
The body undertaking the work discusses the proposed draft and the comments; amends the text, and decides the next step (forward, backward, hold).
STEP 1
The Commission approves new work based on a Project Document and
the critical review of the Executive Committee, and identifies the
body to undertake the work.
STEP 3
The Codex Secretariat circulates the proposed draft for comments to all members and observers.
STEP 7
Discussion and decision
on next step (same as STEP 4)
