Conference: “Standardization Systems in the US and Russia”, organized by USRCC, ASTM and RSPP with the participation of ASME, NIST, API and RST

On April 2-3, 2014 the USRCC in partnership with the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), Rosstandart, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), ASME International, and the American Petroleum Institute (API) conducted a conference addressing common issues and challenges of the standardization, certification and conformity assessment.

This conference, with a participation of more than 100 industry speakers, provided our members with a better understanding of the differences among the U.S., European, and Russian systems, including the various means of the standard adoptions, official translations, and helped to eliminate a lot of confusion and ambiguity that industry faces when addressing U.S. and Russian markets.
