Also echoed in the Agreement on Government Procurement: "2. Technical specifications prescribed by procuring entities shall, where appropriate: (a) be in terms of performance rather than design or descriptive characteristics; and (b) be based on international standards, where such exist; otherwise, on national technical regulations, recognized national standards, or building codes." <http://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/legal_e/gpr-94_01_e.htm#articleVI> (cross references omitted). So not just a JTC 1 requirement but also international law. Best regards, Paul E. Merrell, J.D. (Marbux) -- Universal Interoperability Council <http:www.universal-interop-council.org>
