The work was developed by the committee led by Marly López, from the INN's standards division, and used as a basis the proposal developed and led by Germán Fuentes, from the Ministry of the Environment. The Institute confirmed that the new standards are in the technical committee stage and they hope to be able to conclude them by the end of this year. 

The new Chilean Technical Standards will be:
