New areas of standardization

MOU on cooperation in the field of standardization

MOU with:ASTM, ANSI, SAE International

Potential with:

NIST, ASME, API…

What is not competently standardized calls for too much of craftsmanlike skill,

reflection, and individual elaboration, and is therefore not available for economical use in the processes
