Revo in Action

Revo

Setting the standard for standards development

Revo enables standards bodies to manage the public review of draft standards.

Let’s Talk

Product overview

Revo provides a simple and accessible way for the public to review and comment on draft standards online. It reduces the cost and complexity of managing comments on standards, and broadens participation in standards creation.

Revo increases the visibility and transparency of the standards review process. It enables open public review of drafts, and private review of specifications. It is in use by the British, Danish, Dutch, Irish and Swedish National Standards Bodies, and Canadian National Standards Bodies.

Features and benefits

Upload

Simple, automated upload process

Revo minimises the effort required to upload documents for review, and integrates with existing systems.

Collate

Automatic comment collation

Comments are automatically collected, transformed into an appropriate template such as the ISO commenting template, and mailed to the appropriate committee administrator.

International

Internationalization

Customize the site to appear in any language.

Reviews

Open or closed reviews

Invite members of the public to review a draft, or control access based on email addresses and domains.

Upload documents manually or automatically - Revo allows standards documents to be uploaded for review, either manually or via an automated process that integrates with existing systems. Registered users of the system can then view and comment on the documents online via a simple web-based interface. Comments automatically reference the section of the document on which they were made.

Make comments public or private - Existing comments on a section can be made visible to other commenters in anonymized form, to encourage commenters to build on comments that have already been made rather than duplicating them, and thus improve the quality of comments and reduce the workload of processing them. However, comments can be screened (manually or automatically) before being made visible to the public.

Help users to provide good feedback - Users may submit comments immediately or save them to be edited and submitted later. Users can see the history of comments that they have made, and download their comments. Email addresses of users are captured to allow them to be contacted later, for clarification and further discussion of their comments, and so they can be informed when a document is finalized and ready for purchase.

The challenge was to increase public engagement in the draft review process, increase awareness of the availability of the drafts and improve handling efficiencies. There have now been 20,000+ users signed up and 17,000+ comments received on national and international drafts.
