7.2 Process for Recommending & Endorsing National Standards

There will be an agreed process to proposing and approving standards at a national level. This process is based on the UK level Government Digital Services Standards Hub approach but with a focus on standards proposed from within the Scottish Public Sector Design Authority community initially. Once the process is established, it will be considered for extension to wider citizen involvement. The process which is currently in draft is described here Standards Endorsement Process
