Standardization helps in achieving quality, global commonality and inter-changeability of a component. There are some organisations that standardize the quality of products, production processes, business processes, services, etc. Few are discussed below.
ISO (International Organisation for Standardization)
ISO develops and publishes international standards.
GO TO STANDARDS
ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
ASME is a not-for-profit membership organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community, develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods. Founded in 1880 by a small group of leading industrialists, ASME has grown through the decades to include more than 100,000 members in 140+ countries. A significant percentage of these members are students. ASME offers a continuously evolving portfolio of standards across a wide range of topics, including pressure technology, power plants, elevators, construction equipment, piping, nuclear components and many more.
