"The Institute oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged in accreditation - assessing the competence of organizations determining conformance to standards."

"ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental membership organization and the world's largest developer of voluntary International Standards. They give world-class specifications for products, services and systems, to ensure quality, safety and efficiency. They are instrumental in facilitating international trade."

"Defines the principles and the technique of the tests designed to determine the conventional mechanical characteristics of assemblies produced with soft solders and brazing filler metals. Specifies also a method of interpreting the results obtained. Applies to joining materials and their fluxes which are used for soldering and brazing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys."

"Describes the procedures designed to produce an analysis sample representative for each batch of soft solder in the consignment in the folowing details: unit of product, selection of the batch sample, preparation of the test sample sticks from the batch sample, preparation of the analysis sample, testing of individual units of product, preservation of the analysis sample."

"SmartWeld is a set of science based software applications which enable engineers, designers, and technologists to determine optimal automatic welding procedures for seam welding, spot welding, laser welding, and many robotic welding applications."

"The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a measurement standards laboratory which is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce."

"The National Technical Information Service serves as the largest central resource for government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related information available today."
