National Standardization in America

P. G. Agnew

Standardization in America is discussed in relation to the classification of standards as company, association, national, and international standards. The function of the American Standards Association and the standardizing activities of the United States Government are described. Considerable attention is given to the factors that should be considered in deciding whether to standardize, and as to the methods to be followed in standardizing. The paper closes with a discussion of the human factor in standardization projects, and the responsibilities of participating groups and individuals engaged in standardizing.
