As Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Institute of Building (AIB), Troy was able to use his considerable knowledge of Australia codes and standards infrastructure in the preparation of a Productivity Commission report into standards setting and laboratory accreditation.

As a result of the submissions made by AIB and other stakeholders, the Productivity Commission considered the need for Standards Australia to improve its framework for standard setting, including by ensuring better justification processes before new standards are developed. Review the AIB submission and the final report:

    ::  Submission — Australian Institute of Building
    ::  Report — Productivity Commission Inquiry

The submission that Troy authored on behalf of AIB was a result of broad consultation with via that organisation's national committees and was one of the more substantial that the commission received from the stakeholder groups that made representations to the committee.

The report backed the position put forward by AIB and other stakeholders that Standards Australia should remain the principal standards setting body in Australia and extensively quoted the submission put forward by AIB in arriving at the Commission's recommendation.
