EMDC proposals are considered by two separate working groups, depending on the nature of the ‘materials’. Working group ‘A’ deals with Chemicals, Plastics, Glasses and Ceramic Materials. Working group ‘B’ deals with Metals, Alloys, Semiconductors and special, ultra pure materials. Each working group consists of 10-12 members which includes experts in the concerned areas and representatives from Industry, Public Sector Undertakings. A new proposal submitted to EMDC is circulated to all members to the concerned working group for their comments and thereafter discussed in the working group meeting.
