Outcome-based education

Using OBE also makes it easier to produce a national “qualifications framework” which is applicable across multiple disciplines and aids in developing international standards and agreements, as evidenced by the Washington Accord [101–104]. These resulting international agreements then provide mutual recognition of qualifications across national boundaries and allow nations to control the standard of practising professionals who enter and work in their country [104,105]. In these instances, the PLOs (exit outcomes) are the graduate attributes listed in agreements or qualifications frameworks. The design of new programs is then guaranteed to reach the required quality if the exit outcomes are set by standards and agreements.

The International Working Group on ETV (IWG-ETV, 2018) is an international level cooperation on environmental technology verification. IWG ETV includes the Canadian, Korean, Philippine, European, and US ETV programs. The goal is to develop an international approach to verification that will allow mutual recognition: “Verify once, accept everywhere.” The ISO ETV working group initiated an international standard on ETV and ISO, the International Standardization Organization (ISO) drafted a new standard on Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) and Performance Evaluation in 2013. The new standard was edited by the ISO Technical Committee 207 (Environmental Management) in 2016 (ISO 1403 4, 2016).

However, the differences are immense. ISO is a voluntary standards organization and the EU is a legislating force. Its rules are binding among member countries and any company that wishes to market a product in the EU. lndividual companies cannot work directly with the EU. This must be accomplished through Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA) negotiated with non-EU countries.
Product performance - a review of construction product conformity assessment

The most important and necessary task is to generate new, independent information on the performance of new/innovative products. Each aspect of performance (including structural, fire, weatherproofing, acoustic and thermal) must be examined separately to see whether there is adequate information for its uses. This is a highly technical question that can only be answered by experts in specific areas. For example, structural properties of a cladding product may be easily obtained but not its fire resistance properties. This is a difficult task that no single institution in Australia can claim that it can do on its own. An Australian Technical Evaluation Network (ATEN) (Pham et al. 2019) has been proposed to do the work and is discussed in Section 7. To facilitate the evaluation of imported products, some form of mutual recognition with similar organisations in other countries will be useful (also for export).
