Efforts to increase alignment and enable interoperability between frameworks and standards are encouraging comparisons and estimations of equivalency.

This document provides such a framework, including the principles and procedures to be observed.

These Terms of Reference (ToR) provide an overview and framework of the process for the standard revision of the ResponsibleSteel International Production Standard.
