scope:

This Guide provides standards writers with guidelines for the inclusion of security aspects in standards. It is applicable to any standard related to the protection of assets, human, physical and or environmental, or a combination of these assets. This Guide adopts a preventive approach aimed at reducing the risk arising from the use of products, processes or services. When security aspects are adequately considered in the development of standards, it furthers the objectives of promoting personal, public and environmental security, providing for protection and reducing the risk of damage or injury. It is intended for standards writers; however, this Guide also provides guidance of value to those involved in design work and other activities where security aspects are being considered.
