and commerce; conducts materials research leading to improved methods of measurement,

standards, and data on the properties of materials needed by industry, commerce, educational

institutions, and Government; provides advisory and research services to other Government

agencies; develops, produces, and distributes Standard Reference Materials; and provides

calibration services. The Laboratory consists of the following centers:

Absolute Physical Quantities 2 — Radiation Research — Chemical Physics —

Analytical Chemistry — Materials Science

THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY provides technology and technical ser- vices to the public and private sectors to address national needs and to solve national problems; conducts research in engineering and applied science in support of these efforts; builds and maintains competence in the necessary disciplines required to carry out this research and technical service; develops engineering data and measurement capabilities;

provides engineering measurement traceability services; develops test methods and proposes

engineering standards and code changes; develops and proposes new engineering practices;

and develops and improves mechanisms to transfer results of its research to the ultimate user. The Laboratory consists of the following centers:

Applied Mathematics — Electronics and Electrical Engineering2 — Manufacturing

INTRODUCTION

Background

International standards and implementing actions, the importance of which have

only recently been recognized, are intended to affect the flow of goods among

nations. In the late 1 960 1 s , a multi-national working group of the General

Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)* began to draft an agreement regarding

the use of standards and certification systems in international trade. This

effort was transferred to the Tokyo Round of the Multilateral Trade

Negotiations (MTN) in 1975. These negotiations led to the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, which entered into force on January 1, 1980.

Title IV of the U.S. Trade Agreements Act of 1979 implemented the United

States' responsibilities under this Agreement.

The Agreement encourages signatories to participate in international standards

organizations with a view towards harmonizing individual countries' technical

regulations. The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) of 1979 assigns to the Department

of Commerce the responsibility of assuring that U.S. participation in such

organizations is adequate to represent U.S. interests.

The National Bureau of Standards has developed this directory as part of its

responsibilities under the TAA. It seeks to identify organizations involved

in standards development, certification, laboratory accreditation, and related

activities, and which have identified themselves through their organizational

titles as being international or regional in character or which have been thus

referred to in other international and regional organizational directories.

Another purpose is to identify those organizations which are open to U.S.

participation and, for each such, whether or not the U.S. is represented.

Organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the

American Society for Testing and Materials, the British Standards Institution,

the Canadian Standards Association, and Deutsches Institut fur Normung produce

standards which may be used in many parts of the world, but have designated

themselves by title as national organizations; they have not been listed

herein. However, further information on organizations located in the U.S. is

contained in a companion volume to this directory, SP 417 United States

Standardizat ion Activities. That volume, last issued in 1975, is to be

updated for publication later this year.

The information in this directory was obtained from responses to a questionnaire which was sent to more than 700 organizations listed in NBS

files or in available international and regional organizational directories as likely loci for standards-related activities. Follow-up letters were sent to

organizations which did not respond to the initial inquiry. Approximately 450

organizations supplied information on their activities; 272 of these

organizations are concerned with standards-related activities. NBS would

appreciate receiving information on other organizations which should be

included in any updated or expanded version of this directory.

The information in this directory should be useful to government agencies

engaged in setting standards or in other trade-related fields, and may also be

of interest to voluntary standards writers, manufacturing firms, exporters,

and others concerned with international trade.

OIML is an intergovernmental (treaty) organization

created in 1955 to harmonize and coordinate on an

international level the administrative and technical

regulations of measurements and measuring instruments

issued in various countries and thereby facilitate

free commerce between countries, not only of measuring

instruments but of all commodities and services which

involve measurements.

The work plans of OIML are decided by common agreement

within a steering committee called the International

Committee of Legal Metrology (CIML) in which each

member country has one representative designated by

its government. International Recommendations are developed through technical committees (Pilot Secretariats) and subcommittees (Reporting Secretariats).

In the work of OIML, legal metrology is given the

widest interpretation and concerns most fields of

applied metrology.

The International Conference of Legal Metrology,

composed of delegates from member nations, meets at

least every six years (usually every four) to give

final approval of draft International Recommendations

which, when adopted, impose an obligation on member

nations to exert best efforts in harmonizing existing

national regulations with those contained in

R ecommendati ons

liaison procedure with other international

organizations and ISO has Category 1 consultative

status with the United Nations Economic and Social

Council (ECOSOC).

CERTIFICATION

ACTIVITIES: CERTIC0, a subunit of ISO, has the following functions

o To study the means of securing greater mutual

acceptance of the validity of national and regional

certification systems and marks, as ensuring

conformity with standards specifying the functions

and properties of products, particularly when

safety, health or environmental factors are involved and the definition of the rules and

procedures necessary for securing a widening matrix

of such agreements, recognizing that the use of

national certification systems and marks as a protective measure will thereby be reduced.

227
o To keep under review the development of national

and regional systems so that, when in the future a need arises, progress can be made towards

certification to ISO International Standards and,

in the meantime, to study how to protect the ISO

Mark so that it can be used in future as a mark of

conformity to standards.

o To examine how to control the use of ISO

International Standards in certification systems.

Inter alia, it will, in consequence, be necessary

to study means for ensuring mutual acceptability of

test houses and inspection bodies, and appropriate

appeal arrangements.

contribute to the promotion, by the responsible

national authorities, of the protection of workers and

the public against the hazards of ionizing radiations

Radiation protection standards have been set up within

NEA and are mainly intended to protect workers in

nuclear installations. These standards are based on the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). They were first

adopted in 1959 and have since been subject to several

revisions. The standards currently applicable were prepared in 198I jointly with IAEA, WHO, and IL0,

based on ICRP recommendations published in 1977. The

standards form the basis of national laws for the

protection of both workers in the nuclear industry and

the general public against the hazards of ionizing

radiations

CONCAWE THE HAGUE

SCOPE: CONCAWE - the oil companies' international study group

for the conservation of clean air and water in Europe

- was established in 1963. Participation is open to

any crude oil refining company operating in Western

Europe.

CONCAWE 's main objective is to study environmental

conservation in relation to oil processing, handling

and use in Europe, including matters relating to human

health. To achieve this, CONCAWE develops programs

for the:

collection and dissemination to participants of

scientific, technical and legislative information

from sources throughout the world;

promotion of co-operation between participants on technical matters within the scope of the above

objective;

acquisition of knowledge concerning causes and

effects of pollution, and techniques for their

abatement;

presentation of the results of its studies to

participants, authorities, and the public in

general, with particular reference to international

and inter-governmental organizations concerned with

environmental legislation.

3. CONCAWE projects are grouped within the following

fields of activity:

air protection

health (occupational medicine/ toxicology/ industrial

hygiene)

noise control

oil pipelines

- oil spill clean-up technology

petroleum products handling

- water protection, including refinery waste disposal.

While the work of CONCAWE tended to concentrate

initially on environmental problems as identified by

the European oil refining industry, increasing

attention has also been paid in more recent years to

the demands of European environmental legislation and

the requirements of the law-making bodies. In this

respect CONCAWE studies and reports can provide a sound scientific basis on which to work.

bibliography or literature survey, mention it here)

This directory contains information on 272 international and regional

organizations which conduct standardization, certification, laboratory

accreditation, or other standards-related activities. This volume describes

their work in these areas, as well as the scope of each organization,

national affiliations of members, U.S. participants, restrictions on membership, as well as the availability of any standards in English.

This volume summarizes an effort by the National Bureau of Standards to

obtain information relevant to monitoring U.S. participation in the many

international organizations active in standardization. It is designed to serve the needs of Federal agencies and standards writers for information

on international and regional organizations involved in standardization and

related activities. It may also be useful to manufacturers, engineers,

purchasing agents, and others.

NBS TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS

PERIODICALS

JOURNAL OF RESEARCH—The Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards reports NBS research and develop- ment in those disciplines of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Bureau is active. These include physics, chemistry,

engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement

methodology and the basic technology underlying standardization. Also included from time to time are survey articles on topics

closely related to the Bureau's technical and scientific programs. As a special service to subscribers each issue contains complete

citations to all recent Bureau publications in both NBS and non- NBS media. Issued six times a year. Annual subscription, domestic

$18; foreign $22.50. Single copy, $5 50 domestic; $6.90 foreign.

NONPERIODICALS

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on

various subjects related to the Bureau's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) developed in cooperation with in- terested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies

Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NBS, NBS annual reports, and other special publications

appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and

bibliographies.

Applied Mathematics Series—Mathematical tables, manuals, and

studies of special interest to physicists, engineers, chemists,

biologists, mathematicians, computer programmers, and others engaged in scientific and technical work.

National Standard Reference Data Series—Provides quantitative data on the physical and chemical properties of materials, compiled from the world's literature and critically evaluated. Developed under a worldwide program coordinated by NBS under

the authority of the National Standard Data Act (Public Law

90-396).

NOTE. The principal publication outlet for the foregoing data is the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (JPCRD)

published quarterly for NBS by the American Chemical Society

(ACS) and the American lnstitule-of Physics (AIP). Subscriptions,

reprints, and supplements available from ACS, 1 155 Sixteenth St., NW, Washington, DC 20056.

Building Science Series—Disseminates technical information developed at the Bureau on building materials, components,

systems, and whole structures. The series presents research results,

test methods, and performance criteria related to the structural and

environmental functions and the durability and safety characteristics of building elements and systems.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NBS under the sponsorship of other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures

published by the Department of Commerce in Part 10, Title 15, of

the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized requirements for products, and provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of the characteristics of the products. NBS administers this program as a supplement to the activities of the private sector standardizing

organizations. Consumer Information Series—Practical information, based on NBS research and experience, covering areas of interest to the con- sumer. Easily understandable language and illustrations provide

useful background knowledge for shopping in today's tech- nological marketplace. Order the above NBS publications from: Superintendent of Documents. Government Printing Office, Washington. DC 20402. Order the following NBS publications—Fl PS and NBSIR s—from

the National Technical Information Service . Springfield, VA 22161

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS

PUB)—Publications in this series collectively constitute the Federal Information Processing Standards Register. The Register

serves as the official source of information in the Federal Govern- ment regarding standards issued by NBS pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended.

Public Law 89-306 (79 Stat. 1127), and as implemented by Executive Order 1 1717 (38 FR 12315, dated May 1 1, 1973) and Part 6

of Title 15 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

NBS Interagency Reports (NBSIR)—A special series of interim or

final reports on work performed by NBS for outside sponsors

(both government and non-government). In general, initial dis- tribution is handled by the sponsor; public distribution is by the National Technical Information Service , Springfield, VA 22161,

in paper copy or microfiche form.
