- Abstract
- This directory is a guide to mandatory and voluntary standards activities in the United States at the Federal level and by nongovernmental (trade associaitons, technical and other professional societies) organizations. It excludes proprietary (company) standards and those of state and local levels of government. Superseding the 1991 edition (NBS SP 806) it includes standards distributors, libraries, and information centers. It also lists organizations that no longer develop standards or have become defunct since the previous directory was issued.
