Trade statistics for the United States are compiled by the Department of Commerce, which uses the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) (4). (Note There have been changes in the code, with the result that data after 1994 are not comparable with those of previous years.) The following list of SITC classes gives the principal products in each category ...

It is therefore apparent that, because of its diversity of operations and close links in many areas with other industries, there is no simple definition of the chemical industry. Instead each official body which collects and publishes statistics on manufacturing industry will have its definition as to which operations are classified as the chemical industry . It is important to bear this in mind when comparing statistical information which is derived from several sources. Perhaps the best known international definition for chemicals is that contained in Section 5 of the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification. Individual countries definitions will differ from this to varying degrees, as will the companies trade organizations—such as the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) in the U.K.—in each country. 

When shipped, every compressed gas must be marked and labeled in accordance with the applicable regulations. Hazard labels are designed in accordance with United Nations standards and take the form of a diamond square-on-point. They use colors, symbols, and class numbers as the warning mechanisms. In the United States, descriptive text to communicate the hazard of the compressed gas is optional. See 49 CFR 172.405 [1]. The UN class number, 2 for compressed gases, is shown in the lower point of the label reflecting the primary hazard. The hazard...

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). 

Patent laws provide for several stages in the life of an application for a patent on an invention. The pattern followed by patent laws in effect in most industrialized countries during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and still in effect in the United States in 1995, calls for the examination of all patent appHcations to certify that the claimed invention meets the national standards for novelty, usehilness, and inventiveness. The owner of the technology to be patented files appHcation papers that include a specification containing a description of the invention to be patented (called the disclosure) and claims defining the limits of the invention to be protected by the patent, a formal request for the issuance of a patent, and fees. Drawings of devices and apparatuses, electrical circuits, flow charts, etc, are an important part of the disclosures of most nonchemical and many chemical patents. 

Tide 1 of the CAAA of 1990 focuses on utiHty units located in ozone nonattainment regions of the United States, which include approximately 100 different areas where national standards for ground-level ozone (O ) are exceeded. More than 900 utiHty boilers are located within the nonattainment zones, including 90 units impacted by Phase I of Tide 4. These boilers represent approximately 400,000 MW of installed capacity and 60% of the country s UtiHty boilers.

Code Administration The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has written the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which contains rirles for the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels. The ASME Code is an American National Standard. Most states in the United States and all Canadian provinces have passed legislation which makes the ASME Code or certain parts of it their legal requirement. Orrly a few jurisdictions have adopted the code for all vessels. The others apply it to certain types of vessels or to boilers. States employ inspectors (usually under a chief boiler inspector) to enforce code provisions. The authorities also depend a great deal on insurance company inspectors to see that boilers and pressure vessels are maintained in a safe condition.

All burners should meet the requirements of CEN or other national standards. The units must be complete with safety devices for ignition failure and main flame failure. 

The wall thickness of the coil can be chosen by using any number of recognized codes and standards. In the United States, the most commonly recognized are American National Standard Institute (ANSI) B31.3 and B31.8, or American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification 12 K. Volume 1 has the tables for ANSI B31.3 and ANSI B31.8. Table. - -1... 

However, the various national standards organizations, power boiler manufacturers associations and research institutes (such as the Electric Power Research Institute in the United States) do offer guidelines and recommendations for good waterside control and the avoidance (or at least the minimization) of the more exotic forms of waterside damage.

Science cannot be performed without an accurate system of measurement, which is globally standardized and compulsory. Units and standards of measurement are agreed upon and harmonized on an international basis by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures in Sevres, France, and by the International Organization for Standardization in Geneva, Switzerland. The units and standards are then laid down in national laws. Nearly all countries have accepted the Systeme International d Unites (SI units) as their system of measurement. This also applies to countries that had been accustomed to use British units like Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United States. In Britain, SI units are official from January 2010. The valid standards are available from the competent bureaus, for example Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, www.bip.fr National Measurement Institute (Australia), www.measurement.gov.au National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA), www.physics.nist.gov/ Pubs/SP811/... 

In the United States, flanges are covered by the standards issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). An abstract of the American standards is given by Perry et al. (1997). 

The leading organization in the development of standards in the United States is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It is the member body representing the United States in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT). ANSI does not write any standards. It promotes standardization, coordinates efforts toward standardization, and approves standards. It annually publishes a list of American...
