Regular meeting of Technical Committee for ICT Standardization held

A regular meeting of the Technical Committee for Standardization of Information and Communication Technologies (TC 05) was held at the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport.

The meeting discussed the work done under the Action Plan 2022 and important issues to be addressed in 2023, including the preparation of new national standards recognized as relevant in the field.

Three meetings of the Technical Committee were held this year, seven national standards envisaged in the field of ICT were prepared and seven other standards previously adopted under the current legislation were periodically reviewed.

Standardization is based on the results of science, technology and best practices, and defines the basis not only for current but also for future development and is constantly evolving thanks to scientific and technological progress. The dynamic development of the ICT field makes it necessary to create national standards in this field both in Azerbaijan and in other countries around the world.

It should be noted that the new composition, regulation and the structure of the Technical Committee was approved on 27 December 2021. The chair of the committee is Bakhtiyar Mammadov, deputy chief of staff of the ministry, and the secretary is Gulam Abdullayev, chief adviser at the department of technological development of the ministry.  Specialists from various government agencies, universities and ICT companies were involved in the Technical Committee.
