Standards US:
ANSI, ASME, ASTM, AWS, NEMA, NIST, SAE, MIL. Could be more.
Standards France: AFNOR
Standards Germany: DIN
Standards Japan: JST
Standards Sweden: SIS
Standards UK: BSI
Standards Internationa: ISO
Could the large number of US Standards be a handicap for our Industry? Could this be beneficial to our industry? Are we just hanging on to some old and outdated systems? Should we abandon all these standards and take in ISO as it becomes available? Opinions please.
