The ASA provides the machinery for creating voluntary standards. It serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and to weld conflicting standards into single, nationally accepted standards under the designation "American Standard." - ..... ,, .... Each standard represents general agreement among maker, seller, and user groups as to the best current practice with regard to some specific problem. Thus the completed standards cut across the whole fabric of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. M anufacturers, consumers, technical organizations, and governmental agencies -- all substantially interested and affected groups -- are represented on the committees which develop and regu larly revise American Standards. The completed standards are used widely by industry and commerce and often by municipal, state, and federal governments. The ASA, under whose auspices this work is being done, is the American clear inghouse for standards activity on the national level. Founded in 1918, it is a federation of more than 100 trade associations, technical societies, professional groups, and consumer organizations. Some 2300 companies are affiliated with the ASA as company members. ASA is the United States member of the International Organization for Stand ardization (ISO). Through this channel American industry makes its position felt on the international level. American Standards are on file in the libraries of the national standards bodies of 38 countries.
