Understanding International Engineering Standardization and Its Importance

International engineering standards serve as blueprints for manufacturing processes and product specifications, ensuring quality and safety across industries. They are framed rigorously, covering materials, procedures, limitations, hazards, and specifications. Standardization facilitates uniformity in products, boosting global GDP and enhancing safety regardless of origin. International organizations like ISO and IEEE strive for harmonization, but challenges remain, including compliance and local government approval. Establishing new organizations for enforcement could enhance adherence to global standards and prevent market pollution from non-standardized products.

  1. Stephen Gerdts International engineering standard harmonization

  2. What is a standard? • Blue print for any and all the engineering products and manufacturing techniques. • They are framed like a research paper • Include: Material, procedures, limitations, hazards, and specifications • Extremly subject specific • Standards for wire range from wire composition to safety rating and applications.

  3. Who uses Standards? Why? • Everyone ever and forever. • Every industrialized country around the world uses them. • Most countries have their own standards • Uniformity in the product, guarantee of quality for consumer

  4. What is International Standardization? • Obtain one accepted standard for each specific product of manufacturing process around the world. • Wires manufactured in India will be the same as wires manufactured in Germany

  5. Why is this important? • Experts argue that similar products will stream line manufacturing • Increased output • Higher global GDP • Standardization means that all products will perform as safely regardless of origin.

  6. What is being done? • International Harmonization agencies. • ISO and IEEE • How is this happening? • Countries send delegations to committees of these organizations • Organizations aid in providing experts and mediators to help countries agree on one standard.

  7. What are the problems? • Some countries might not able or willing to conform to the global standards • Why? • Can’t afford it • Government might not approve • Vested in manufacturing techniques • Problems with this • Pollution of non-standardized products in market • Rendering harmonization inept

  8. What is the solution? • A New Organization • What should it do? Enforce the standards in a completely separated realm than the ISO • How should this be done? All the countries that are participates if ISO (and like) should join • Set enforcement policies for countries that are members that violate and how the organization members should interact with non-member violation countries. • Reason this is important? Harmonization is important and if not products will continue to diverge.
