Organization for Standardization

This heading covers such a large number of products and applications that it is difficult to give a complete inventory. For this reason the standards organizations, starting with ISO (International Organization for Standardization ), have published a series of standards to classify these products. 

At the international level, the official organization is the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and its counterpart for the electrical industries, the lEC (International Electrotechnical Commission).

Several countries have developed their own standard test methods for cellular plastics, and the International Organization for Standards (ISO) Technical Committee on Plastics TC-61 has been developing international standards. Information concerning the test methods for any particular country or the ISO procedures can be obtained in the United States from the American National Standards Institute. The most complete set of test procedures for cellular plastics, and the most used of any in the world, is that developed by the ASTM these procedures are pubUshed in new editions each year (128). There have been several reviews of ASTM methods and others pertinent to cellular plastics (32,59,129—131).

Besides internal quaUty audits, there are audits conducted by external authorities for conformance to estabUshed quaUty systems. The two chief standards affecting the chemical industry are the U.S. Food and Dmg Administration Current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulation and the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9000 series. A quaUty system performance-related standard is the Malcolm Baldrige National QuaUty Award...

FiuaUy, no discussion on poUution prevention would be complete without reference to the ac tivities of the 49-year-old International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO recently created Technical Committee 207 (TC 207) to begin work on new standards for environmental management systems (EMS). The ramifications, especiaUy to the chemical iudustiy, which has become heavUy involved in the development of these standards, wUl be great. TC 207 s activities are...

The primary pump types for the chemical industry for horizontal and vertical inline applications have been standardized in ANSI B-123, ANSI Std B73.1M for horizontal end suction centrifugal pumps, and ANSI B73.2M for vertical inline centrifugal pumps. The standards are in a continuous process of upgrading to suit requirements of industry and the manufacturers. The API-610 standard is primarily a heavy duty application, such as is used for the refinery and chemical industry requirements. This is the only true world pump [21] standard, although the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is studying such an improved design [20].

Recently, a new method of nomenclature of TPEs was produced jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the Association of the Automotive Industries (VDA), Germany, and the producers of raw materials. Nevertheless, for this chapter the above-mentioned abbreviations for the TPEs have been utilized. Table 5.3 provides a list of significant suppliers of different generic classes of TPEs with respective trade names.
