Ms. Lorna WEN on behalf of Prof. Jianqi CAI made the working progress report.

Participants asked questions and discussed the progress report of the WGs. The Chair made detailed comments on each of the WG’s reports and asked questions. According to the report and discussion Dr. Yoshi Ohno made the requirements for each WGs on next step.

4. New Proposals

4.1 New Proposal 1 “Test Method for Performance of Flexible Light Source in Optical Medical Equipment”

Mr. Yingguang ZHU from Yeolight made this new proposal report to the TCS meeting. He mentioned the problem statement, goals, timeline and the appendix.

4.2 New Proposal 2 “Technical Standard for Smart Lighting Pole”

Ms. Yika HAN from China Tower Zhejiang Branch made this new proposal report to the TCS meeting. The research background, purpose, contents and basements had been introduced.

4.3 New Proposal 3“Performance Requirements on LED Mosquito Repellent Light”

Ms. Xu XU from Dayang Technology made this new proposal report to the TCS meeting. The research background, purpose, contents and basements had been introduced.

After discussions and questions the Dr. Yoshi Ohno accepted these three new proposals and the meeting herein decided to establish new working groups on these proposals.

Summary

Dr. Ohno, the Chair of ISA TCS, emphasized that ISA’s standardization work should be more international, encouraging existing working groups and requiring all new working groups established since TCS20 to include working group members from at least three countries, and hopefully more in the future.

The Chair announced that next meeting (TCS24) would be held in November 2023 offline. The venue of the meeting would be in Suzhou, China.

Details of the meeting and related decisions would be submitted to the TCS members in the form of minutes, which would be reviewed and adopted by the Chair. Presentations would also be distributed by the TCS Secretariat after the meeting.
