Abstract
This directory is a guide to mandatory and voluntary standards activities in the U.S. at federal and state levels and by nongovernment (trade associations, technical and other professional socities). It excludes proprietary (company standards) and local levels of government (i.e., county and municipal). It supercedes the 1975 edition and, for the first time, includes standards distributors, libraries and information centers, and union lists of standards repositories by regional areas. It also lists organizations that no longer develop standards or have become defunct since the previous directory was issued. More than 750 current descriptive commentaries are formatted, with subject headings to facilitate access to specific information. The main sections cover nongovernment; federal government; state procurement offices; sources of standards documents and information; a subject index and related listings covering acronyms and initials, defunct bodies, and those organizations with name changes. Organizations have been included if they develop standards or contribute to the standardization process, whether voluntary or mandatory, or are sources of standards documents or information. An introductory section provides general information on federal (including military) standards activities, a list of 20 major nongovernment standards developers, some historical notes and an overview of U.S. (national) standardization activities.
