The scope of this SAE Technical Standards Board document (TSB) is to provide uniform guidelines for Technical Committees of the SAE Technical Standards Board in the development, preparation, and issuance of technical reports. Adherence to this TSB can expedite the processing of uniform and consistent SAE technical reports, and will facilitate their use and reference by government, industry, and other organizations.
A technical committee shall be responsible for a field of endeavor, as defined by its scope. In cases where projects overlap areas of interest of another council's/division's committee, the originating committee shall submit the project(s) for review and approval to the other concerned committee and its council prior to issuance. A committee is established when a new major project area is to be undertaken and no existing committee is available. A committee is discharged when the assigned work is completed and there is not further need for its services. The councils/divisions retain responsibility for periodic review of technical reports developed by their disbanded committees.
