Why do we use standards?

We use standards to work uniformity, achieve a level

of safety, quality, and consistency in the products and

processes that affect our lives.

In short, standards make our lives safer, easier, and

better. Standards are also vital tools of industry and

commerce. They often provide the basis for buyer-

seller transactions; hence they have tremendous

impact on companies and nations, and even on the

economic fabric of the world market.

Type of standards

1- Company or Factory Standards, l ike Shell DP,

Total EDM,

2- National standards, like ANSI, API, BSI, IPS,

3- Regional standards , like EU Standards ,

4- International standards , like ISO ,

How are standards developed?

Most standards are developed by committees of

volunteers, which can include members of industry,

government, and the public. In the U.S., the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI) acts as a "parent"

organization, helping to coordinate volunteers and

ensure that the development process emphasizes four

main issues: requirements for due process, appeals

procedures, the mandatory consideration of negativevotes or comments, and for "committee balance."

Balance is achieved when all parties having an

interest in the outcome of a standard have an

opportunity to participate and where no single interest

can dominate the outcome.
