File Description [top]

Materials Business File covers industry news, product and process developments, plant development and construction, international trade data, government regulations, and management issues related to industries covered by other CSA Technology Research Database (TRD) subfiles.

Begun in 1985 as an alerting service, the database now serves also as a historical business/industry reference. As of 2004, its coverage has been expanded to include business and industry information across the full scope of CSA's TRD and is no longer limited to the materials processing industries.

      /AB  ABSTRACT: 
          This article summarizes key incentives for vendors, users, government and 
        individuals to participate in the standardization process. It argues that 
        standards can expand markets at all points in the market life cycle, with 
        overall impact measured in billions of dollars. The authors hope to 
        encourage standards involvement, and also future research and analysis that 
        might quantify the financial value of standardization for vendors and 
        users.
