Registrant​

  • The name and address of the registering organization
  • The name and contact information (email, phone number, or postal address) of the designated contact person

If the registrant is a recognized standards development organization, scientific society, or similar body requesting the fast-track registration procedure (see Section 6.3), that information should be clearly indicated in this section of the template.
