Rosan, 2006-10-25 China-WS.ppt – Slide 20 of 23 Corporate Standardization & Regulation An ANP Networking Example  In Europe the old national standards are replaced step by step by European Standards (designated by EN)  former DIN standards become DIN EN (identical german EN version)  usually with changed content e.g. in the case of copper and copper alloys there is a new system with new european material designations and material numbers which replaces all old national systems. e.g. in the case of copper and copper alloys there is a new system with new european material designations and material numbers which replaces all old national systems. Thus in consequence questions arise such as: if I used E-Cu58 / 2.0065 according to the old DIN standards what is the replacement in the new EN standards > Cu-FRHC / CW05A Thus in consequence questions arise such as: if I used E-Cu58 / 2.0065 according to the old DIN standards what is the replacement in the new EN standards > Cu-FRHC / CW05A Interested users from different companies within ANP met to work together in the development of a common conversion aid for copper materials. With the result of a convenient booklet, called Beuth-Pocket: European Copper Materials – Comparison between DIN and EN European Copper Materials – Comparison between DIN and EN ISB3-410-15598-8

Rosan, 2006-10-25 China-WS.ppt – Slide 21 of 23 Corporate Standardization & Regulation IFAN – International Federation of Standards Users global business increases, hence, the application of international standards e.g. only 10% of all DIN standards are today still pure national standards; 85 % of all DIN electrotechnical standards are identical or related to IEC standards e.g. only 10% of all DIN standards are today still pure national standards; 85 % of all DIN electrotechnical standards are identical or related to IEC standards  requires networking of standards users in the field of international standardization in order to:  influence the development of strategies and policies in standardization and the use of standards.  gain access to the global community of experienced practitioners in the field of standardization and use of standards.
