Text 5 asme’s Role in the Globalization of Codes and Standards
Having one global standard becomes more and more important as companies merge across international boundaries, helped by regional trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and those established by the European Union (EU), which have facilitated international mergers through the lowering of tariffs on imports.
The companies involved in these consolidations, used to selling to just one market, now find themselves selling to global markets. The standards for products in these markets are often different, which complicates manufacturing procedures. Local laws may require the use of a particular standard, yet these laws are viewed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) as technical barriers to trade, and WTO member countries are charged with reducing these and other barriers to free global trade.
What is the best way for standards-developing organizations like ASME and for users of standards to find a solution? Possible approaches are to adopt the dominant standard, or to develop an umbrella standard that references other regional and national standards, or to develop a global consensus standard from scratch. ASME is involved in helping promote whichever approach best serves a specific industry and the users of the applicable ASME standards.
ASME standards have changed over the last few years to include new construction materials, to address new topics, and to incorporate new calculation methods. As these changes continue to be introduced, globalization brings even more change, requiring greater flexibility and adaptation from industry.
