  • 24 Standards and Standards Organizations
    #24 Standards and Standards Organizations What are standards? Standards are documented agreements containing technical specifications or other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics, to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose. Therefore, International standards contribute to the reliability and effectiveness of the goods and services we use. ISO, International Organization for Standardization (The most widely recognized standards organization) ISO is a non-governmental organization established in 1947. The mission of ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO is comprised of three types of membership. 1. Member Body A specific national body most representative of standardization in its country. 2. Correspondent Member An organization in a country which does not yet have a fully developed national standards activity. 3. Subscriber Member In particular, countries with very small economies. The “Member Body” of ISO is comprised of over 95 countries that have established standard organizations. The Member Bodies along with the Correspondent Members and Subscriber Members all contribute to the work and development of a standard. Thus, ISO’s work results in international agreements, which are published as International Standards. Examples of Member Bodies are; from the United States the American National Standards Institute ANSI, from Canada the Standards Counsel of Canada SCC, from Italy the Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione UNI, from the United Kingdom the British Standards Institution BSI and from Germany the Deutsches Institut fur Normung DIN.

Murthy (Research Scholar at NLSIU, Bangalore, India), and Saurabh Malhotra (LLM (Warwick, UK), B.A, LLB (Hons.) (NLSIU, Bangalore, India)) Reviewed by Brad Biddle (Adjunct Professor at ASU Law and Standards Counsel at Intel Corporation, USA) Commissioned by the US National Academies of Science, Board of Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP), Project on Intellectual Property Management in standard setting processes 17 September 2012 Disclaimer: The opinion(s) expressed by the authors in this research paper is in their personal capacity as an individual and does not represent the opinion of the employers of the authors. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ICT STANDARDS IN INDIA Abstract The 2010 “Policy on Open Standards for e-Governance” launched India into the global debate over the definition of open standards. However, the story of standards in India is richer and broader than only the e-Governance policy. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a standards development organization (SDO), which came into existence through an Act of the Indian parliament. Another important government SDO functioning, in the telecommunications domain, is the telecommunication engineering center (TEC), which was formed under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in India. In addition, there has been an increased effort tin setting up public-private partnership organizations for formulating standards focused on information and communications (ICT) standardization. Further, the Indian government has made important contributions on the topic of technical standards in connection with the World Trade Organization’s Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT).

(Ausgust 2011) Brian Anthony Hare, B.S., The University of Texas at Austin Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Hung-Jue Sue Polymeric packaging films see widespread use in the food packaging industry, and their mechanical integrity is paramount to maintaining product appearance, freshness, and overall food safety. Current testing methods, such as tensile or puncture tests, do not necessarily correlate well with field damages that are observed to be scratch-like. The standardized linearly increasing load scratch test was investigated as a new means of evaluating the mechanical integrity of packaging films. Mechanical clamp and vacuum fixtures were considered for securing the films to a set of backing materials and tested under various testing rates and film orientation conditions.

  • Who Develops ISO Standards? a Survey of Participation in ISO’S International Standards Development Processes
    Research for People and the Planet Who Develops ISO Standards? A Survey of Participation in ISO’s International Standards Development Processes October 2004 Mari Morikawa and Jason Morrison Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security 654 13th Street, #104 Oakland, California USA Phone (510) 251-1600 Fax (510) 251-2203 www.pacinst.org Who Develops ISO Standards? Background • The International Organization for Standardization - also known as “ISO” - began creating technical standards for things like hardware and photo film in the late 1940s. In recent years, however, ISO has been expanding into matters relating to social and environmental policy. • ISO is world’s largest international standards developer. The norms established by ISO have a major impact on national and local environmental and social issues. Summary of Findings • Although the problem of under-representation by less developed regions has been recognized by the ISO for over 40 years, there has been no significant improvement in participation, as measured by “Participating- membership” in ISO’s Technical Committees – the fora where ISO actually develops its standards. • On average, Western Europe represents almost half the voting base in ISO’s standards development work, despite representing approximately six percent of the world’s population. • Contrary to popular perception, development of ISO’s environmental management standards is not dominated by industry: while industry does represent the largest single stakeholder group, it only constitutes
