We work with partners to help enterprises in financing, capabilities and management development, technology and innovation, and access to markets. As the national standards and accreditation body, SPRING also develops and promotes internationally-recognised standards and quality assurance to enhance competitiveness and facilitate trade. We provide support to enterprises in four areas: Money SPRING works closely with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the financial services sector to catalyse financing programmes relevant for SMEs. The aim is to make available more options for SMEs at each stage of their growth. Markets To help SMEs access overseas market opportunities, SPRING works with IE Singapore and the Economic Development Board to facilitate overseas missions and link SMEs to overseas networks. SPRING’s Export Technical Assistance Centre also helps companies understand standards and technical regulations to help them export overseas. Management With attraction and retention of talent being one of the key obstacles to growth for enterprises, SPRING launched the Business Leaders Initiative (BLI) to groom SME bosses, build management depth and develop a strong pipeline of future business leaders for SMEs. Know-how SPRING aims to nurture a group of homegrown innovative enterprises that can compete successfully in the global arena. Key programmes to help achieve this include the Technology Innovation Programme (TIP), the Intellectual Property Management (IPM) for SMEs Programme, the Design Engage Programme and the BrandPact Programme.

Under the guidance of an industry-led Standards Council, we actively promote and encourage companies to use and adopt Singapore Standards and other relevant standards in manufacturing products, services and management systems. Where feasible, Singapore Standards are aligned with international standards to help Singapore’s manufactured goods and exports gain entry into overseas. As of 31 December 2008, there are 697 Singapore Standards and 17 Technical References, of which, 158 standards have been aligned to international standards. The standards alignment strategy supports Singapore’s open trade policy and reduces the likelihood of standards becoming unnecessary technical barriers to trade. SPRING also helps to raise industry awareness and encourage the adoption of international standards which may be used by the local industry without modification. In addition, we actively support and facilitate the development of new international standards by the Singapore industry to ensure that these standards do not hinder trade or limit market access. Currently, key industry players sit on 39 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) committees and 7 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) committees. Singapore also leads in 7 international standards committees. What is the Standards Council? The Standards Council is responsible for: • Providing strategic directions for national standardisation; • Mapping out the overall standardisation policies and priorities; • Determining areas of work; and • Providing the necessary guidance for the implementation of the Singapore Standardisation Programme. For information on the structure of the Standards Council, refer to Figure 1. What are Standards Committees? Standards Committees are appointed by the Standards Council to develop Singapore Standards for and promote standardisation to the target industries. To ensure that all viewpoints are considered in the preparation of Singapore Standards, all committees consist of representatives from various interest groups, including professional bodies, industry associations, consumer bodies, trade associations, government agencies and tertiary institutions. There are currently eight Standards Committees covering: 1. Building and construction, 2. Chemical, 3. Electrical and electronic, 4. Food manufacturing 5. General engineering and safety, 6. Information technology, 7. Management systems, 8. Medical technology and For more information on the standardisation process, refer to Figure 2.

SIP projects aim to help Singapore-based enterprises use Singapore Standards or other relevant standards that increase productivity; ultimately benefitting the entire industry. Assistance through co- funding is provided for some SIP projects. Benefits to the industry may include cost savings, higher productivity, better quality products, enhancement to safety and health, improved connectivity to local/global partners, improved efficiency and effectiveness, all of which in turn translate to higher industry competiveness. 7 © SPRING 2009 DISTRIBUTION OF SINGAPORE STANDARDS Printed copies of the Singapore Standards and Technical References are distributed to the libraries of the following organisations: National University of Singapore Ngee Ann Polytechnic Temasek Polytechnic 10 Kent Ridge Crescent 535 Clementi Road 21 Tampines Avenue 1 Singapore 119260 Singapore 599489 Singapore 529757 Nanyang Technological University Singapore Polytechnic Institute of Technical Education 50 Nanyang Avenue 500 Dover Road 10 Dover Drive Singapore 639798 Singapore 139651 Singapore 138683 Nanyang Polytechnic 180 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 Singapore 569830 8 © SPRING 2009 COLLECTION OF OVERSEAS STANDARDS The SPRING Singapore Information Resource Centre maintains for reference various standards catalogues and a collection of overseas standards such as those listed below : INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANISATIONS Coverage Name Symbol Complete* Partial International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IEC X International Organization for Standardisation ISO X (ISO) NATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANISATIONS Coverage Country Name Symbol Complete* Partial Remarks Australia Standards Australia (SA) AS X Canada Standards Council of Canada CAN, CSA X (SCC) China Standardization Administration of GB X Available only in China (SAC) Chinese France Association francaise de NF X Available also in normalisation (AFNOR) French Germany DIN Deutsches Institut fur DIN X Available also in Normung (DIN) German India Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) IS X Japan Japanese Industrial Standards JIS X Available only in Committee (JISC) English Republic of Korean Agency for Technology KS X Korea and Standards (KATS) Malaysia Department of Standards Malaysia MS X (DSM) New Zealand Standards New Zealand (SNZ) NZ X Philippines Bureau of Product Standards PNS X (BPS) Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabian Standards SSA X Organization (SASO) South Africa South African Bureau of SANS X Standards (SABS) Sri Lanka Sri Lanka Standards Institution SLS X (SLSI) Thailand Thai Industrial Standards Institute TIS X (TISI) Trinidad & Trinidad & Tobago Bureau of TTS X Tobago Standards (TTBS) UK British Standards Institution (BSI) BS X USA American National Standards ANSI X Institute (ANSI) 9 © SPRING 2009 STANDARDS DEVELOPING ORGANISATIONS Coverage Name Symbol Complete* Partial American
