A look at how standardization supports development and global trade

This seminar summary explores how metrology, measurement, and quality control can help developing nations become active trading partners. It outlines six years of cooperation between the National Bureau of Standards and the Agency for International Development, with input from governments, industry, and standards bodies around the world. The proceedings highlight workshops, surveys, written standards, and standard reference materials used to strengthen laboratories and national capabilities.

The book documents the goals, methods, and outcomes of these efforts. It discusses how shared standards enable clearer product requirements, easier technology transfer, and better access to international markets. Readers will see how private-sector standards work interacts with government programs and how international collaboration shapes development policy.
