Understanding Understanding ‘Standards’‘Standards’
• Defined as “Defined as “documented agreements containing technical documented agreements containing technical guidelines to ensure that materials, products, processes, guidelines to ensure that materials, products, processes, representations, and services are fit for presentationrepresentations, and services are fit for presentation” ”
• Types: Types: a) Metric Standard: Used against which quantities are a) Metric Standard: Used against which quantities are
measured measured ex: Kgs, Meters, liters etc. Typically useful for consumers. ex: Kgs, Meters, liters etc. Typically useful for consumers. b) Process Oriented or Prescriptive standard: Provide b) Process Oriented or Prescriptive standard: Provide
methodology methodology to perform tests and processes in a consistent and to perform tests and processes in a consistent and
repeatable way. repeatable way. ex: American Society of Testing and Material for ex: American Society of Testing and Material for

c) c) Performance based standard: Ultimate Performance based standard: Ultimate performance is specified, not the process. performance is specified, not the process. Based on product experience. Ex: ASCE Based on product experience. Ex: ASCE requires mobile homes in Hurricane prone requires mobile homes in Hurricane prone areas to be wind resistant up to 160 Kmphareas to be wind resistant up to 160 Kmph
d) Standards for Interoperability among d) Standards for Interoperability among systems: To standardize the data used by systems: To standardize the data used by various systems like CAD, to ensure smooth various systems like CAD, to ensure smooth inter system operations ex: STEP ( Standard inter system operations ex: STEP ( Standard for Exchange for Product Model Data) facilitate for Exchange for Product Model Data) facilitate exchange of data representationexchange of data representation
