  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.
