National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards, but in exceptionai circumstances a technical commitee may propose the publication of a Technical Report of one of the following types: type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publi- cation of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts; type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other reason there is the future but not immcdiate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard; kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard ("state of the art", for example). Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be no longer valid or useful. ISO/IEC TR10183-2,which is a Technical Report of type3, was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Sub- Committee SC 18, Document processing and relaied communication. ISO/IEC TR 10183 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology -Text and office systems - Office Document Archi- tecture (ODA) and interchange format - Technical Report on ISO 8613 implementation testing: -Part I: Testing methodoiogy -Part2:Framework for abstract test cases ISO/IEC1993 All rights reserved.

Such testing will assist in the analysis of an implementation's ability to interwork in an environmcnt of implementations of ISO 8613 and implementations of International Standardized Profiles (ISPs) based on ISO 8613 ISPs are standardized document application prof
