The mean time to failure of various instrumentation and equipment parts would be known from the manufacturer s data or the employer s experience with the parts, which then influence inspection and testing frequency and associated procedures. Also, applicable codes and standards—such as the National Board Inspection Code, or those from the American Society for Testing and Materials, American Petroleum Institute, National Fire Protection Association, American National Standards Institute, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and other groups—provide information to help establish an effective testing and inspection frequency, as well as appropriate methodologies.

Some of the most prominent voluntary and national consensus standard organizations include the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The major international organization that has the primary mission of developing international standards is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The American National Standards Institute serves as the main administrative and coordinating organization for the development and production of industry standards in the United States. Companies, organizations, agencies, and individuals are eligible for ANSI membership and can participate in the development of standards. These standards cover all areas of engineering practice, materials, safety, and procedures.

Clearinghouse and national coordinator for voluntary standards of engineering, equipment, industrial processing, and safety. Formerly known as American Standards Association (ASA). In the plastics field, ANSI works closely with the Society Of The Plastics Industry (SPI) and the Society Of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to develop and publish standards for plastics materials, processing equipment, operations, and operating safety. 

Each segment of the insulated wire and cable industry has its own set of standards, and cables are built to conform to specifications provided by a large variety of technical associations such as The Institute of Electrical Electronic Engineers (IEEE), The Insulated Cable Engineers Association, (ICEA), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Rural Electrification Administration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (REA), Association of Edison Illumination Companies (AEIC), MiUtary Specifications of the Department of Defense (MIL), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), National Electrical Code (NEC), etc.
