FOREWORD

This document, v^ich is a revision of NBS SP 649 Directory of International and

Regional Orcranizations Conducting Standards-Related Activities , is one of a

series of publications designed to provide information on national, regional, and

international organizations v^ich participate in standards-related activities.

There are 338 international and regional organizations listed in this directory,

66 more organizations than were listed in the first edition, v^ich was published

in 1983. Part of this increase is due to a growing number of European

organizations v*iich have become active in standards efforts in Europe, and part

is due to the inclusion of organizations only identified after the publication of

the 1983 edition. The listed organizations conduct standardization,

certification, laboratory accreditation or other standards-related activities.

This volume describes their work in these areas, as well as each organization's

scope of activity and the national affiliations of members. It also lists the

names and addresses of U.S. participants v^iere they have been identified.

One hundred eighty nine organizations have U.S. members and an additional 18

organizations are open to the United States, though there is no U.S. member.

Thirty-two U.S. organizations hold only limited membership, such as coirresponding

member or observer. In a few cases, this is by choice. Ninety-seven

organizations indicated that they were not open to the United States, though some

of these maintain a liaison with their U.S. counterparts. Most of the

organizations v^ch are not open to U.S. participation are regional industry

organizations in Europe. Several organizations did not respond to questions

regarxiing U.S. membership.

The information contained in this directory is based primarily on information

provided by the listed organizations and therefore reflects the organization's

view of its activities, thou^ information from other sources was used to

conplete some of the entries.

This volume supports an effort by the National Institute of Standards and

Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) to provide information

related to multinational standards-related activities. It is designed to serve

the needs of federal agencies and standards writers for information on

international and regional organizations. Manufacturers, engineers, purchasing

agents, and others may also find this volume of value.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank all the organizations v^ich provided information on their

activities. Without their assistance, this directory would not have been

possible.

INIRODUCnON

International standards and inplementing ac±ions, the iirportance of v^ich have

only recently been recognized, affect the flew of goods aiiKDng nations. In the

late 1960 '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. Ihese

negotiations led to the Agreement on Technical Bainriers to Trade, v*iich entered

into force on January 1, 1980. Title IV of the U.S Trade Agreements Act of 1979

ittplemented the United States' responsibilities under this Agreement.

The Agreement encourages signatories to participate in international standards

organizations with a vie\/ 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 Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (formerly the National

Bureau of Standards) has developed this directory as part of its responsibilities

under the TAA. It seeks to identify organizations engaged in standards

development, certification, laboratory accreditation, and related activities, and

v^ich have identified themselves throu^ their organizational titles as being

international or regional in character or have been thus referred to in other

international and regional organizational directories. Another purpose is to

identify those organizations v^ich are open to U.S. participation and v^ether or

not the United States 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 v^ich 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 United States is

contained in a coirpanion volume to this directory, SP 681 Standards Activities of

Orcfanizations in the United States . Information of U.S. certification activities

can be found in SP 739 Directory of Federal Government Certification Programs and

SP 703 Private Sector Product Certification Programs in the United States . A

list of publications of potential interest to the reader is included in the

^pendix.

The information in this directory was obtained from responses to a questionnaire

v^ich was sent to more than 800 organizations listed in NIST files or in

available international and regional organizational directories as likely sites

for standards-related activities. Follow-up letters were sent to organizations

v^ich did not respond to the initial inquiry. Of the organizations v^ich

responded, 338 indicated they participate in standards-related activities. NIST

would appreciate receiving information on other organizations v^ich should be

included in any updated or ejq^anded version of this directory.

Information on foreign national standards organizations can be found in

the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) directory, ISO Member

Bodies.
The information in this directory should be useful to government agencies engaged

in setting standards or in other trade-related fields, and my also be of

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

others concerned with international trade.

235 11 11

CC^IEUR Brussels

EC is cx3nposed of four institutions: the European Parliament,

the Council, the Commission and the Court of Justice. In 1967

the three separate Communities (EURATCM, the EEC, and the ECSC)

were merged into the one Commission and Council. The

Commission and Council administer the Paris Treaty (v^iich

established the ECSC) and the Rome Treaties (which established

the EEC and EURATOVI) . It is a framework within v*iich its

members have agreed to integrate their economies and eventually

to form a political union.

The Commission signed a cooperation agreement with GEN and

GENET EC in November 1984. Working in cooperation with CEN and

CENELEC, the Commission proposes the adoption of standards.

On May 7, 1985, the Council of Ministers adopted a resolution

setting out a "New i^proach to Technical Harmonization and

Standards." Under this new approach, EC Directives establish

"essential requirements" (written in general terms) , v^ich must

be satisfied before products may be sold in the EC.

Conformance to European standards will be the primary way for

businesses to demonstrate that these "essential requirements"

have been met. While the Commission will usually consult

interested parties before making a proposal, under the Treaty

of Rome, it is the sole responsibility of the Commission to put

before the Council of Ministers proposals for directives. The

text of the Commission's formal proposal for a Directive is

published in the Official Journal of the European Communities . It is the responsibility of the Council to decide viiether or

not to adopt the proposed directive. Ihe "New ;^proach"

depends heavily on the existence of European standards. These

will be prepared (usually by CEN and CENELEC) on the basis of

"mandates" agreed upon with the Commission.

The Commission will have responsibility for assuring the

conformance of products to EC Directives. Acceptable

conformance procedures will be included in the directive.

Sales and subscriptions to EC and Commission publications are

available from:

To harmonize national elecjtrotechnical standards published by

the national organizations entrusted with such publications and

to remove technical barriers to trade v^ich may result directly

or indirectly from the measures applied in the member countries

to indicate or certify conformity to standards of a given

product, in particular by means of a mark or of a certificate.

Develops standards for the v^ole field of electrotechnical and

electronic engineering v^iere no lEC standards are available.

CENELEC has a certification agreement (CCA) , v^iich operates to

ensure the safety of electrical and electronic equipnnent. CCA

promotes mutual recognition of test reports by laboratories

involved in certification. Together with CEN, CENELEC operates

an infonnation system on certification systems operating in

Europe. This system, known as CERTIFICAT, is expected to be

operational sometime in 1989. CERTIFICAT will provide

information on categories of products covered by certification,

the procedures used, the conpetent laboratories and inspection

bodies, administrative procedures for access to certification,

To prepare European Standards in non-electrical fields.

Develops voluntary European Standards (EN) in building, machine

tools, information technology, and in all sectors excluding the

electrical ones coverai by CENELEC. CEN also produces

Harmonization Documents (HD) and European Prestandards (ENV)

.

A Harmonization document is develcped and adopted in the same

manner as a European Standard, but its application is more

flexible so that the technical, historical or legal

circumstances pertaining to each country can be taken into

account. A European Prestandard can be prepared as a

prospective standard for provisional application in areas of

technology in v^ich there is a hi^ level of innovation or vAien

there is felt to be an urgent need for guidance, ^lere the

safety of persons and goods is not involved. CEN also issues

recammerdations, some of v^ich may be processed as ENs, ENVs,

or HDs. Others, the NETs (Nonnes Europeennes de

Telecommunications) , are ccjnmon t^ihnical specifications

covering access to networks and equipment for attachment to

networks

.

CEN has developed a framework for European certifications known

as CENCER. This system offers two possibilities: either the

issuing of a European mark of conformity to standards, or the

mutual recognition of test results and inspections. CEN has

its own mark. Together with CENELEC, CEN operates an

information system on certification systems operating in

Europe. This system, known as CERITFICAT, is expected to be

operational sometime in 1989. GERITFICAT will provide

information on categories of products covered by certification,

the procedures used, the conpetent laboratories and inspection

CEN is involved in accreditation of laboratories and

certification bodies as well as quality assurance.

To remove iitport duties, quotas and other ctostacles to trade in

Western Europe and to ufiiold liberal, non-discriminatory

practices in world trade.

EFTA has signed contracts with CEN and CENELEC to prepare

European standards. A special effort is underway to develop

standards in the fields of information technology and

telecommunications

.

The EFTA Convention on the Mutual Recognition of Test Results

and Proofs of Conformity requires Contracting States to accept

tests results and proofs of conformity frcxn conpetent bodies

for designated products without further testing except in

special cases.

EFTA has pioneered the use of "reciprocal recognition"

arrangements, to make it unnecessary for a particular product

to be separately tested in one country after another to ensure

that it conforms to their possibly varying regulations. Such

arrangements exist for pressure vessels, fire fighting

equipment on board ships, agricultural machines and tractors,

gas appliances, lifting apparatus, and for heating equipment

fired by liquid fuel. International conventions based on the

same principles are in force for pharmaceuticals and for the

hallmarking of products made of precious metals.

EFTA maintains a library and an information service.

To ensure that, in various countries of Eurcpe, the equivalence

of the Agrement Certificates issued by the different members

can be established, v^lst striving to eliminate obstacles of

any kind.

The Union establishes rules for granting and confirming

Agrement Certificates in the different member countries, shares

the results of investigations and research carried out by its

members, and facilitates the reciprocal confirmation of

Agrement Certificates by exchange of information and

consultation. Agrement, whichever member delivers it, is a

favorable technical assessment of the fitness for purpose of

materials, services or processes, such assessment taking

account of the safety, purpose and durability of construction

in v^ch they are to be used.

Certification of products is attached to the assessment

(Agrement) . Testing for Agrement certification of products for

v*iich there are UEAtc Directives must be carried out according

to the procedure described in the Directives. Conformity to

their requirements must be checked and the results must be

interpreted according to the Directives. Testing for Agrement

certification of products for v^ich there are no UEAtc

directives should be decided by the ffember Institute of the

country of origin in consultation with the other member

institutes from v^ich confirmation is requested. The nature

and extent of the requirements and the necessary tests should

be agreed in writing.

There is already mutual recognition of assessments between

Institutes of the UEAtc.

United Nations agency for international activities concerned

with the peaceful uses of atomic energy. It seeks to develop

the use of atomic energy for non-military purposes.

IAEA has four activities v^ich deal with standards and related

matters: radiological safety, nuclear medicine, safety,

dosimetry and laboratories. In addition, IAEA offers

quality assurance/control services to U.N. members. These

activities are described below:

STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES IN THE RADIODDGICAL SAFETY:

Develops standards for the safe transport of radioactive

materials. These standards are mandatory for the IAEA's own

activities and are recommended for adoption by Member States

and international organizations. Data is also collected on

the transportation of radioactive materials throu^out

the world. IAEA cooperates with other international

transport organizations in part to promote standardization of

administrative forms and shipping papers. A Convention on the

Physical Protection of Nuclear Material was adopted at its

thirtieth regular session and entered into force on Februaiy 8,

1987.

STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES IN THE NUCLEAR SAFETY:

IAEA has a wide-ranging Nuclear Safety Standards (NUSS) Program

to guide Member States in the establishment of internationally

acceptable safety codes and guides for use in the development

of their nuclear power programs. IAEA prep)ares two types of

documents. Codes of Practice and Safety Guides. The Codes

establish the principal objectives and requirements that must

be fulfilled to ensure adequate nuclear power plant safety.

The Safety Guides recommend procedures and acceptable technical

solutions to iirplement the requirements and achieve the

objectives of the Codes. IAEA develops nuclear safety standards

for adoption by member states regarding the r^ulation, siting,

design, operation and quality assurance systems for nuclear

power plants.

165
LABORATORY ACCREDITATION AdTVITY FOR DOSIMETRY:

Holds the technical secretariat of IAEA/WHO's Network of

Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDIS) . It

recognizes the SSDLS for membership in the Network. The

National Institute of Standards and Technology is an affiliated

member of the SSDL Network in the U.S.

STANDARDIZATIC^ ACTIVITIES FOR LABORATORIES:

Develops standards for radiation protection for adoption by

Member States and international organizations. It also

conducts interccmparisons of the results of radiochemical and

trace element analysis and is involved in the metrology of

radionuclides

.

QUALITY CONTROL ACi'lVlTlES:

Enables laboratories engaged in the analysis of nuclear

materials to check the quality of their work by distributing

certified reference materials and samples for connparison.

Maintains a library and publishes an extensive number of

documents, including a catalog. The IAEA also possess two data

banks, the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) and

To inplement the International Standard Book Numbering System.

The purpose of International Standards Book Numbering (ISBN)

[International Standards Organization (ISO) International

Standard 2108] is to coordinate and standardize internationally

the use of book numbers so that an international standard book

number identifies one title, or edition of a title, from one

specific publisher, and is unique to that title or edition. An

international standard book number consists of ten digits made

up of the following parts:

- group identifier (i.e. national, geographical, language or

other convenient group)

;

- publisher identifier;

- title identifier;

- check digit.

Publishes the International ISBN Publishers' Directory, the

ISBN Review, the ISBN Users' Manual, and produces video and

slide sound shows on the ISBN.

diseases of livestock for v^ich international collaboration

is deemed to be desirable.

o To collect and bring to the attention of governments and

their sanitary services, all facts and documents of general

interest concerning the course of epizootic diseases and the

means used to control them.

o To examine international draft agreements regarding animal

sanitary measures and to provide signatory governments with

the means of su^jervising their enforcement.

The International Animal Health Code, established by OIE code

and norms commissions, provides veterinary regulations to avoid

the risk of transmitting diseases to animals or even to man,

and the standardization of veterinary requirements applicable

to trade. The Code includes a guideline for the preparation

of veterinary regulations for inports and exports. Another

section gives regulations for use by those responsible for

establishing certificates acconpanying livestock and animal

products in international trade. The Code also includes

standards for the production and control of biological products

and reagents, diagnostic techniques, disinfection procedures,

etc. , and the standardization of veterinary rules, the

effectiveness of Vv^ich depends on the concomitant

standardization of the former.

The principal function of OIE is to inform the heads of

veterinary services of the occurrence and development of

epizootics v^iich endanger public health or livestock

populations.

SCDFG: 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

vdiich involve measuren^nts.

The work plans of OIML are decided by common agreement within

a steering committee called the International Committee of

Legal Metrology (CIML) in vAiich each member country has one

representative designated by its government. International

Recommendations are developed throu^ 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.

Ihe International Conference of Legal Metrology, conposed of

delegates from member nations, meets at least every six years

(usually every four) to give final approval of draft

International Recommendations v*iich, vtien adopted, inpose an

obligation on member nations to exert best efforts in

harmonizing existing national regulations with those

contained in Recommendations.

regional systems so that, v^en 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 confomity to standards,

o To examine how to control the use of ISO International

The objective of the committee and the joint lUIS/WHO Standards

Program is to produce needed standard "benchmark" materials of

an immunological nature throut^ a voluntary consensus

mechanism. These standards are intended to iroprove patient

care by their use in clinical and research laboratories, in the

manufacture of diagnostic kits and reagents, and by national

control authorities.

Develops standards related to immunology.

The lUIS Standardization Committee in collaboration with the

WHO Immunology Unit has established the lUIS/WHO Standardization Program for Immunologic Reagents, v^ich works to

establish specifications for such materials. Materials v^ich

meet the specifications are submitted to WHO for consideration

as a new International Biological Standard (IBS) or an

International Biologic Reference Preparation (IBRP)

To promote cooperation among the governments of its

participating countries in furthering the development of

nuclear power as a safe, environmentally acceptable and

economic energy source. Enphasis is placed on harmonizing

national safety and regulatory policies and practices for the

prevention of accidents in the nuclear industry, protection of

workers and the public against the hazards of ionizing

radiations, and preservation of the environment.

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 1981 jointly with IAEA,

WHO, and ILD, based on ICf^ 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. The Agency also provides recommendations with

regard to the interpretation and practical application of these

radiation protection standards.

Agreement on a problem and its solution can result in a

convention, recommendation or declaration. A convention is

legally binding, since member states, by ratifying it,

subscribe to the new rules of international law fixed by it. A

recommendation or declaration derives it political and itraral

authority from the scope of the agreement between the member

states v^ich adopt it and from the influence of the
