General information

Standards are recommendations and are obligatory not from itself. They can be made obligatory however by laws or contracts.

Standardization can promote economics and trade, since it facilitates standardization and exchangeability. Likewise it serves for to the quality assurance and security. As further goals environmental protection, rationalization and (so DIN)"use of the economy and the entire society" are called.

Standardization procedure gives it national, regionally (z.B. for Europe) and internationally (Dh. world-wide).

Standardization organizations are usually under private law organized. Besides there are national institutions with tasks of the standardisation and the representation of standards. Examples are those in Germany and that National institutes for standard and Technology in the USA.

To terms and designations: The term is more general in German than Standard. The word "standardize"" standardize "in place of under Normern because of ambiguity one disapproves.

Standardization in Germany

In Germany is that (DIN) responsibly for standardisation work and "... represents the German interests in the world-wide and European standardisation organizations."DIN is not national as registered association, has however a contract with the Federal Government, according to which this promotes the DIN financially and DIN considers the interests of the state. DIN finances itself to the majority from the sales of standard sheets and supplementing literature.

For the electrotechnical standards is those DKE as a common daughter of DIN and VDE responsibly. This special treatment of electrotechnical standards is to be regained for Europe and internationally: CENELEC beside CEN, beside .

Standards

One Standard (for example a technical standard or a procedure standard; engl. standard, frz. standardize) the definition of the characteristics of technical units such as devices, construction units, resources, in addition, of technical interfaces, processes, measuring and different is procedures.

A standard is a published by a standardization organization a decided and . All instances of a standardization procedure were gone through, decided and published afterwards them. A condition for a standard is that it necessarily and technically developed and the technical and traffic circles involved want them. Not the standardization organization standardizes, but avail themselves the specialists of their, in order to develop and publish standards.

National standardization organizations take over regional (here European) and international standards, which then - if necessary translated - when national standards appear. Then the simultaneous denomination of DIN, EN and ISO with the titles (z. isB. with DIN EN ISO 9001). It means that a standard under the same number is at the same time a German, European and international standard. DIN adapts its numbering if possible at EN and ISO. New standards are therefore usually DIN EN, DIN EN ISO or DIN ISO. With few steeped in tradition standards of German origin the DIN number is retained after the back assumption. There are also common standardization committees of ISO and . Their standards call both organizations (z.B. ISO/INTERNATIONAL Electronical Commission 12119: Information Technology; Software products; Quality requirement and testing Instructions). Accordingly there is also standards "DIN ISO/INTERNATIONAL Electronical Commission".

International and European standards apply with nonexistence of comparable German standards not automatically more subsidiaer in Germany, but only, if they were taken over by DIN. European standards have a larger commitment than international standards for Germany in the sense that there may not be an EN contradicting German standard.

From the English linguistic usage the term comes de jure standard, which covers itself with the German term standard. In contrast to it is in in fact standard not by a standardization procedure recognition. For in fact standard becomes also the term Industry standard used.

Admits are for example

  • like DIN A4, see those technical Standard DIN EN ISO 216 (in former times DIN 476);
  • those Procedurestandard DIN EN ISO 9000 for quality management systems;
  • those how.de.nl.jp from one klassifikatorischen German Institut for standardization e. V.“. In Austria became 1920 Austrian Normungsinstitut ON (Austrian Normungsinstitut) based.

    From the intention, those through to advance further, the interest in the standardization grew in the individual states.

    those became Internationally Federation OF the national Standardizing Associations (ISA) based. The results of working of the ISA were considered as suggestions or recommendation to the national standard committees.

    In the first place the ISA- stood and beginning of the the necessity after continuous, methodical and international standardizations. Already 1906 became the international electrotechnical commission International Electronical Commission () based.

    After the interruption by that the designation developed International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the new national standardization commission as a successor of the ISA. Germany is since again member of the ISO and International Electronical Commission. Leads the business of the ISO the central secretariat, those International Electronical Commission a generalsekretariat, both with seat in , (ISO)
