The Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC) successfully organized a virtual Workshop on the SMIIC Information System (SMIIC IS) for French-speaking Member States on 1 July 2026. The workshop was conducted as part of SMIIC's ongoing efforts to strengthen the participation of Member States in standardization activities and to enhance the effective use of the SMIIC Information System.

The programme introduced participants to the SMIIC Information System and demonstrated its role in supporting the technical work of SMIIC Technical Committees. Participants received practical guidance on accessing the platform, managing user accounts, navigating technical committee workspaces, reviewing and commenting on draft standards, participating in ballots, and utilizing the system's key collaboration and document management features.

Through this workshop, SMIIC reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the technical capacities of its Member States, promoting active participation in the development of OIC/SMIIC standards, and enhancing collaboration through digital tools.
